Posted on by MBRUECK 5

Hello to All Users

I'm very new in developing BusinessCentral but I do my best to learn as fast as possible.

Actually I try to understand how the process for importing XML works.

For that i use Visual Studio Code for development.

I made an xmlport fpr Import Ordes

Then I made an Page for testing

    Hi

    You should set the Line element property like this:
    FieldValidate=FALSE

    this is because when the validate is triggered on the rows of an order, a check is made for the existence of the header which has not yet actually been entered on the DAtabase

    this is the function that blocks you on the Sales Line table:

    Also make sure you assign a correct line no. to the lines and either use AutoSave or handle the insert of your records in your code.
