Lookup code for Cost center

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Daljit Kaur Rahsi 1,260

Hi,

I have created a form for cost center with a cost center number and name.

There is drop-down on the cost center column as it has a relation with the OMOperatingUnit table. Relation is CostCenter.CostCenterID == OMOperatingUnit.OMOperatingUnitNumber.

For name I have created a display method.

My question is how can I have the lookup drop option only for Operating unit types as "Cost Center" and not "Retail Channel"

So when I click to pick a value I get only those values which have their Operating unit types as Cost center.

    Hi,

    you can add a field fixed relationship on EDT itself.

    Have a look at OMDepartmentRecId(EDT) e.g. you need to add one more node in your EDT

    Hi Sohaib,

    So should I be following the following steps?

    1. Create an EDIT eg: OMCostCenter and give the table reference relation as 2==OMOperatingUnit.OMOperatingUnitType.

    2. Create a new field in my table as Type and use the following mentioned EDT.

    Correct?

    yes.

    you can see a similar implementation on HCMPostion form. Note that field name in this form is HCMPostionDetail.Department, where you will also find 2 methods overridden on datasource field.
