page field from other table

Posted on by Business Central 95

Hello everyone,

I am creating a page obtaining the data from the table SourceTable = "Sales Shipment Line", which among other fields contains the customer number, customer name, shipment number, ...

What you would need is to be able to indicate in the customer name field the name of the customer that appears in the shipment header. But I do not want to create any field (extended table) in the shipment header table. i want to directly assign the name of the client on the page.

The relation field is the shipment number, but i dont know how define the field customer name.

Regards,

I have the same question (0)

    You can create a Text Variable in the page and populate this variable with the value from "Sell-to Customer Name" field  in Sales Shipment Header.

    Create a new text variable. On the trigger OnAfterGetRecord, you can put a logic to retrieve the customer name from sales shipment header and assign it to the new text variable. You can then show that variable in the page.

    Hello,

    I am noob in AL programing.

    I created a global var named CustomerName: text;

    And dont know how to do the trigger OnAfterGetRecord() to assign to the variable the value of the customer name, relating the table sales header with that Sales Shipment Lines by the document number.

    I do this but dont show any value.

    trigger OnAfterGetRecord()
        var
            TSalesHeader: Record "Sales Shipment Header";
            //TSalesLines: Record "Sales Shipment Line";
        begin

            TSalesHeader.SetRange("No.", Rec."Document No.");
            CustomerName := TSalesHeader."Bill-to Name";
            
        end;

    Hello,

    that work good.

    The end code i used is:

    Field:

    field("Customer Name"; CustomerName)

                   {

                       Caption = 'Customer Name', Comment = '"ESP="Nombre Cliente"';

                       ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;

                       ToolTip = 'Specifies the name of customer.', Comment = '"Especifica el nombre del cliente."';

                   }

    ...

    var

           CustomerName: text;

       trigger OnAfterGetRecord()

       var

           TSalesHeader: Record "Sales Shipment Header";

       begin

           TSalesHeader.Reset();

           TSalesHeader.Get("Document No.");

           CustomerName := TSalesHeader."Bill-to Name";

       end;
