Sales Order creation via AIF Inbound Ports

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by David Vanechaute 75

EDI Sales Orders are being generated via SalesOrder inbound AIF port.

Would someone be so kind as to help point me in the right direction as to what needs modified in the AIF Inbound Ports form and\or what class needs modified to pull data from custom fields added to CustTable and populate the same custom fields that have been added to SalesTable.

I have been able to modify the code behind the SalesCreateOrder form to move data from these custom fields between CustTable and SalesTable when a sales order is manually created directly in AX. 

VantagePoint from DataMasons is being used for EDI. It only uses data from either the EDI file provided by the customer or data stored in the VantagePoint database. 

The data I would like to get populated to SalesTable doesn't exist in the VantagePoint database or EDI file. 

I don't really want to build out this existing data on custom fields in CustTable to the VantagePoint database. 

Surely though if I have enough data via the VP database and EDI file to create a SO in AX including AccountNum, I would think I should be able to also pull data directly from custom fields on CustTable based on the AccountNum and populate the same fields on SalesTable during SO creation via AIF

Thanks in advance

David

    As I understand your question, you are looking new columns must be populated from customer table when SO gets created from AIF, Right?

    Add your code in 'initFromCustTable' method of salesTable.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, I am looking to populate from CustTable to SalesTable.

    And adding code to initFromCustTable does work when creating a SO in AX via the SalesCreateOrder form but it doesn't seem to be working when creating the order via the AIF Inbound Ports.

    So I was under the assumption I needed to also change something in the AIF Inbound Ports setup or some AIF classes.

    You don't think this is the case?

    Thanks

    It should work for AIF as well.. Generate incremental CIL and try.

     I don't think so I mean I know that particular class is used for sales orders if we are creating from AIF but that particular requirement should be achieved by that table changes only.

    Hi David Vanechaute,

    Ax* classes use a different logic to initialize fields. For each field you have 2 methods there : parm* and set*. Parm* is called when XML message has a tag for this field (with empty value or not) and set* is called if there is not tag in XML.

    So what you can do it is add new fields to AxdSalesOrder query, add new parm and set methods to AxSalesOrder class and put initializing code to set methods. AxSalesOrder  class is full of examples how to do it or you can wind in the web lots of how to articles.

    I would not recommend you to use wizard from article provided by Sukrut Parab, because it will add all new fields to AxSalesOrder   and it could be hard to understand what has happened if you don't have any experience with AIF.

    I believe these new columns are not required in data policies as it won't be there on EDI schema. And those columns won't be available in incoming schema. He is looking to just populate values from customer. Do we  still need those parm and set methods?

    Standard AX way to default values in AIF is set* methods, you may go with it or build your own bicycle, its always up to you.
