X++ Code to Create Purchase Order and Post the Invoice.

Following Job creates the Purchase order from code and post the invoice by making use of PurchFormLetter class.
If you don't have demo data , please test with your input values.


static void Dev_CreatePO_and_Invoice(Args _args)
{
NumberSeq numberSeq;
Purchtable Purchtable;
PurchLine PurchLine;
PurchFormLetter purchFormLetter;

;

ttsbegin;
numberSeq = NumberSeq::newGetNumFromCode(purchParameters::numRefPurchaseOrderId().NumberSequence,true);

// Initialize Purchase order values
Purchtable.initValue();
Purchtable.PurchId = numberSeq.num();
Purchtable.OrderAccount = '3000';
Purchtable.initFromVendTable();

if (!Purchtable.validateWrite())
{
throw Exception::Error;
}
Purchtable.insert();

// Initialize Purchase Line items
PurchLine.PurchId = Purchtable.PurchId;
PurchLine.ItemId = 'B-R14';
PurchLine.createLine(true, true, true, true, true, false);
ttscommit;

purchFormLetter = purchFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Invoice);
purchFormLetter.update(purchtable, // Purchase record Buffer
"Inv_"+purchTable.PurchId, // Invoice Number
systemdateget()); // Transaction date


if (PurchTable::find(purchTable.PurchId).DocumentStatus == DocumentStatus::Invoice)
{
info(strfmt("Posted invoiced journal for purchase order %1",purchTable.PurchId));
}
}

Change the documentstatus to packingSlip , if you want to post packing slip.
Enjoy ....Invoicing through Code.

TextBuffer Class to replace the special characters in string.

TextBuffer class can be used to replace the text/characters in the string.
Usually its used to replace the special character with escape sequence so that string(data with special character) can be inserted into the database.

Following job illustrates how to achieve this.

static void Dev_ReplaceTxt(Args _args)
{
TextBuffer buffer = new TextBuffer();
Str message;
;

message = " hi hello's how r u's ";
message += " How r u doing's wujer's * ? ' what ur mot's anbej's";

buffer.setText(message);
buffer.replace("[*?']","\\'"); // replace special character with escape sequence
info(buffer.getText());

}

Code to Display Expiry date Message at Status Bar

Following job illustrates how you can display custom message in the status bar next to alerts. ( Mean , At bottom where you will find company,layer,currency info).

static void Dev_setStatusLineText(Args _args)
{
str msg;
;

msg = "Expiry date :"+date2str(xinfo::expireDate(),123,2,4,2,4,2);

// Force the text to be shown
xUserInfo::statusLine_CustomText(true);
infolog.writeCustomStatlineItem(msg);

}

X++ code to write data to Event viewer

Usually it will be difficult to monitor/debug Batch Jobs running on server . For e.g if something goes wrong than we can't find out why.
So we can make use of Eventviewer instead of infolog and monitor the status by checking the eventviewr .
Following Job illustrates how to write to event viewer.

static void Dev_Write2EventViewer(Args _args)
{
System.Diagnostics.EventLog eventlog;
Str logSource;
Str logName;
;

logSource = "Dynamics Ax";
logName = "Dynamics Ax Log";

// check if the log already exists
if(!System.Diagnostics.EventLog::SourceExists(logSource))
{
// create new log
System.Diagnostics.EventLog::CreateEventSource(logSource, logName);
}

eventlog = new System.Diagnostics.EventLog();
eventlog.set_Source(logSource);


eventlog.WriteEntry("Info Message");
eventlog.WriteEntry("Warning Message" , System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType::Warning);
eventlog.WriteEntry("Error! Please check the stack trace below. \n\n" +
con2str(xSession::xppCallStack()), System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType::Error);

info("Check the event viewer!");


}
