Email Freetext invoice via X++

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by bankk 6,603

Hello:

I have the code below to generate a free text invoice. 

CustInvoiceJour custInvoiceJourLocal = CustInvoiceJour::findRecId(5637916829);
Args args = new Args();
args.record(custInvoiceJourLocal);
new MenuFunction(menuitemOutputStr(FreeTextInvoiceOriginal), MenuItemType::Output).run(args);

My question is if it's possible to pass along print settings to be able to email the invoice to a specific address? I've tested the code snippet below and it does allow email, but in the context of the code above, I'm not sure if it can be used.

SRSPrintDestinationSettings settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
SrsReportEMailDataContract emailContract = new SrsReportEMailDataContract();
emailContract.parmTo(testEmailString);
emailContract.parmSubject("Invoice");
emailContract.parmBody(strFmt("Hi there! Here is your invoice. Invoice#:%1", custInvoiceJour.InvoiceId));
emailContract.parmAttachmentFileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Email);
settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
settings.fileName(strFmt("%1", custInvoiceJour.InvoiceId));
settings.parmEMailContract(emailContract);

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Yes , you can do that . When you run report through args like what you are doing in your first snippet  , pass that args  to controller  like below

    controller.parmArgs(_args);

    then you are going to get contract from the controller and run the report

    contract        = controller.parmReportContract();

    then save report in the archive using second code snippet you posted in your original post

    printSettings = contract.parmPrintSettings();

           printSettings.overridePrintContractSettings(true);

           printSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Archive);

           printSettings.parmOverwriteFileIsSet(true);

           printSettings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);

           printSettings.parmSRSPrintArchiveContract(archiveContract);

    get the report from archive and attached in the email . You can take below my blog as a reference , it was  written long time back but should be good to know about how you can save it to archive and get it to stream and attached to email.

    Hi Sukrut,

    I'm sorry, I probably confused it by including the second snippet of code. I guess back to the original question, if I were using this code to run the report...

    CustInvoiceJour custInvoiceJourLocal = CustInvoiceJour::findRecId(5637916829);

    Args args = new Args();

    args.record(custInvoiceJourLocal);

    new MenuFunction(menuitemOutputStr(FreeTextInvoiceOriginal), MenuItemType::Output).run(args);

    ...can I pass along settings to generate a PDF and email it? I would like to do this all through X++ and not use any print management settings.

    Thank you!

    Did you try following line of code  ?

    settings.emailTo(EmailRecipient);
