Copy Line [Description 2] to G/L Entry [Comment] field

Posted on by Nick Webb 905

I've had a request and I'm not sure if it's possible in BC.

Can the value in field: Description 2 (12, Text[50]) of an Invoice Line (Table: 37) with Type: G/L Account be carried to field: Comment (5618, Text[250]) of table: G/L Entry (17) during a Post?

Is this configurable in BC or would it require a custom AL extension?

    Hi,

    Yes, have to do a customization. below are the events that you need to trigger

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, 81, 'OnAfterCopyGenJnlLineFromSalesHeader', '', true, true)]

    local procedure OnAfterCopyGenJnlLineFromSalesHeader(SalesHeader: Record "Sales Header"; VAR GenJournalLine: Record "Gen. Journal Line")

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, 17, 'OnAfterCopyGLEntryFromGenJnlLine', '', true, true)]

    local procedure OnAfterCopyGLEntryFromGenJnlLine(VAR GLEntry: Record "G/L Entry"; VAR GenJournalLine: Record "Gen. Journal Line")

    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip on the events. Just checking, this hooks me into the Sales Header when I want the Sales Line(s). Is there an event for that or do I need to get the detail lines from the Sales Header in the events you've provided?

    Hi,

    Yes you can filter the particular Sales Line via Document No. and Document Type

    Sales Line. Document No=Sales Header.No.

    Sales Line. Document Type=Sales Header.Document Type

    Thanks

    Thanks for your help. I have one last question if I may, for future reference: How did you zoom in on which events to subscribe to. I tried using the Event Recorder in BC and it returned over 300 event calls. I Started just before a Sales Invoice Post and stopped straight after. Is there a better way of drilling down to the relevant event or events?

    Put debugger and put break point to the Post action. Then you can move ahead one by one line and read them.

    Thanks
