RE: Dataport Import

unfortunately you cannot sort based on the Variable value it should be a field, then you can create a key and sort the dataitem based on that field.

RE: Dataport Import

Great, it works as well. Thanks for the help Suresh, i am not a developer, but i have been thrown into this role. I do have another issue i need help with.

The report in 2009 is called Order Pick Ticket report, and and the dataitem used is the sales line, there is a code in the back end that pull the information from the item specifically the shelf no, but for the life of me not sure how to use this information to create a sorting in the report.

IF Item.GET("Sales Line"."No.") THEN BEGIN

ShelfNo := Item."Shelf No.";

RE: Dataport Import

You don't need to use Item.INIT statement and the IF condition to check for type::Item since you already have Item.GET statement. After Line No. Insert you just need this code

IF Item.GET("No.") THEN

"Description" := Item.Description;

IF NOT INSERT THEN

MODIFY;

In OnAfterImportRecord Trigger just add this code

IF Item.GET("No.") THEN

"Description" := Item.Description;

IF NOT INSERT THEN

MODIFY;

RE: Dataport Import

In your dataport fields you only have No. and Quantity, how are you getting the BOM Number, if you include all the fields in the file & in the dataport fields then you don't need to add any code, the dataport will import it. Include your BOM Number, Line Number and for Description you can add the code to retrieve it. Check the standard dataport like 5901.

I was able review the codes and was able to import the data, but my issue now it to match Quantity to Quantity Per.
