Create customer using OData - AccountNum field using number sequence

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Gaurav Pandey 960

Hi All ,

I am trying to create a customer using Odata with below code :

public bool createCustomer(string targetAxLegalEntity, string custAccount, string custname, string custgrpid)
        {
            Customer custCustentity = context.CreateTrackedEntityInstance<Customer>();
            if(!customerExists(targetAxLegalEntity,custAccount))
            {
                custCustentity.DataAreaId = targetAxLegalEntity;
                custCustentity.CustomerAccount = custAccount;
                custCustentity.PartyType = "Organization";
                custCustentity.Name = custname;
                custCustentity.AddressBooks = "";
                
                custCustentity.AddressCountryRegionId = "USA";
                custCustentity.SalesCurrencyCode = "USD";
                custCustentity.CustomerGroupId = custgrpid;
                if (!SaveChanges())
                    return false;
                logMessageHandler(string.Format("created Customer '{0}' and released to com '{1}'", custCustentity.CustomerAccount, targetAxLegalEntity));

        
            }            

            return true;
        }

This is working fine and I am able to create the Customer.

However when I am trying to create Customer without passing the customer account ,it is not working throwing the error "customer account must be specified".

I have overridden the initvalue method in Customer dataentity ,however it seems this method is not getting called in Odata stack.

Can someone please help me to understand how to use Numbersequence in order to get correct CustAccount.

Thanks,

Gaurav Pandey

    Hi Gaurav,

    Have a look on this post to get an idea on how number sequence can be used to create new customer account daxbeginners.wordpress.com/.../how-to-create-customer-through-x

    You can also try debugging the initValue method in customer data entity to see where it is failing.

    Hi Gaurav,

    I reckon this is not from C# but you can customize in AX to auto assign the number sequence for the data entity using events.

    Hello,

    Try to use "SaveChanges(SaveChangesOptions.PostOnlySetProperties)" instead of "SaveChanges()".

    Hi... How did you generate customer account from number sequence when inserting record through odata?
