Service Order Posting Date - how to default to None?

Posted on by Jim Oskarsson 100
Hi,
 
We are implementing the service order module for a customer for the first time and have run into a problem.
 
When a service order is created, the Posting Date field is set to the working date. We do not want that, we want that the Posting Date field is left blank.
 
How can we achieve this?
 
Thanks
 
Jim

    Hi, this is a standard feature in Sales and Purchase. It is recommended to submit this idea to Microsoft.

    Hi,
     
    Your developer can subscribe to event - OnAfterInitRecord from Service Header Table.
     
    This event will allow them to reset fields like posting date when new Service Documents are created.

    Hi,
     
    you can extend your page and add this code:
     
        trigger OnAfterGetRecord()
        begin
     
            begin
                rec."Posting Date" := WorkDate;
                CurrPage.Update;
            end;
        end;
     
        trigger OnClosePage()
        begin
            begin
                Commit();
            end;
        end;

    It's not possible out of the box. The system always defaults the posting date as the working date. You can either get a developer to change the service order so it doesn't auto populate the posting date, or make it a requirement for the user populating the service order to enter the correct date.
