Default descriptions - Key1-Key3 definitions

I am setting up my default desriptions for various transactions and the default text is defined by selecting %1- %6. However %4-%6 are just defined as correlating to Key1-Key3 for the transaction selected. Does anyone know what Key1 , Key 2 and Key3 mean or relate to and how I can find out what they are for the various types of transactions listed? Thanks!

Re: Default descriptions in Ax 2012- Key1-Key3 definitions

Hi,

i don't think there is a list with all transaction types and the correlating key definition. If you have some developer skills, it is a good start to look at the cross references of the TransactionTxt class.

%1 - %3 is used by all types:

%1 = TransDate

%2 = form letter num (e.g. Invoice Id for sales invoice)

%3 = voucher

%4 - %6 are specific for each transaction type

e.g. sales invoice:

%4 = sales id

%5 = invoice account

%6 = cust group id

Use the cross references of the TransactionTxt.setKey... methods for the specific use of these parameters.

Perhaps sometime MS will post an list of all these types. I hope so.

Regards, Dirk

Hi AX-2012 Updates,

The list above is still valid. These keys are variables used to fill a description. If it is already filled like you describe.... Can you explain further?

Hi we have added the Purchase - invoice, ledger.

Do you know how to add the Purchase Order number to the description? I have found:

%1 = Trans Date

%2 = Invoice no (external)

%3 = Voucher

%4 = Supplier No.

%5 = Supplier Group

In Purchase order - product receipt, ledger - %4 = the PO number

Do you know if Microsoft ever posted a list of all of the types?

You can check TransactionTxt class, for every default description this class is called.

return strfmt(txt, date2StrUsr(transDate, DateFlags::FormatAll), formLetterNum, voucherNum, key1, key2, key3);

it will always return this string but values will change depending on type you select so there are only 6 possible value.

I have just come across this. Is there any way to customise the Keys?

I am looking to add VendInvoiceInfoTable.Description if possible. Every detail from the VendInvoiceInfoTable seems to be available apart from the description - arguably the most important part in terms of analysis.

Bruce you can customize just follow below mention steps.

1:Add one more key in \Classes\TransactionTxt its fairly easy open the class and follow the

pattern.

lets say your key is setInvoiceDescription

now go to

2:\Classes\VendorInvoiceSourceDoc\parmTransactionText

just past this line and you are done.

transactionTxt.setInvoiceDescription(VendInvoiceJour::findFromPurchId(vendInvoiceMap.PurchId).Description);

3:code part is complete:

define new key %6 in OrganizationAdministration\Setup\Default descriptions

generate CLI and it should appaer now you can define as many key you want following the same logic.
