Apply customer template via c/al

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ricardo Jacobsen 50

I'm creating new customers via c/al extensions. I would like to apply one template that was created in business central to the new customers.

It seems that I have to use the Codeunit "Customer Templ. Mgt."

Anyone that would help on how to apply the template to the new customers via C/AL?

    Hello,

    See the below code for your reference and update it as per your needs if required.

    procedure CreateCustomerFromTemplate(var Customer: Record Customer; CustTempCode:code[20])
    var
        CustomerTempl: Record "Customer Templ.";
        CustTempMgmt: codeunit "Customer Templ. Mgt.";
    begin
        if not CustomerTempl.Get(CustTempCode) then 
            Error('Customer template code not exist.')
       
        Customer.SetInsertFromTemplate(true);
        Customer.Init();
        CustTempMgmt.InitCustomerNo(Customer, CustomerTempl);
        Customer."Contact Type" := CustomerTempl."Contact Type";
        Customer.Insert(true);
        Customer.SetInsertFromTemplate(false);

        CustTempMgmt.ApplyCustomerTemplate(Customer, CustomerTempl);
    
    end;

    That really helps, thank you very much.
    Another question, if you can reply..
    How do I select a specific template? 
    For example, I saved this CLIENT template and I want to select it for applying via C/AL.

    It seems that CustomerTempl: Record "Customer Templ." is using a standard template from business central. Am I correct?

    Hello Ricardo,

    Before going to further discussion, I want to know how the "name" can be correct answer of your query which you have verified for your statement?

    Don't put false as this is a community channel which helps to other members as well when they have similar kind of query by seeing the verified answer.

    Hope you can understand my concern, and also for new query create a new question instead of making a chat, by this way you can also help other members to find the query.

    Hello Binesh . I'm sorry but I didn't get what you mean?

    Which name you are talking about?

    I didn't put any name as correct answer.

    Sorry I'm new to the forum I'm trying to understand what is going on.
