Compare Records D365FO & AX 2012





How to compare two records buffer field to field. 



public static container compareRecords(Common _record1, Common _record2)
{
    SysDictTable    dictTable = new SysDictTable(_record1.TableId);
    SysDictField    dictField;
    FieldId         fieldId, extFieldId;
    container       ret;
    int             i, j;
    ;

    if (_record1.TableId != _record2.TableId)
        return conNull();

    for (i=1; i<=dictTable.fieldCnt(); ++i)
    {
        fieldId = dictTable.fieldCnt2Id(i);
        dictField = new SysDictField(_record1.tableId, fieldId);

        if (!dictField.isSystem())
        {
            for (j=1; j<= dictField.arraySize(); ++j)
            {
                extFieldId = fieldId2Ext(fieldId, j);

                if (_record1.(extFieldId) != _record2.(extFieldId))
                {
                    ret += [extFieldId, _record1.(extFieldId), _record2.(extFieldId)];
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return ret;
}




For Demo purpose you can use below code in job/runnable class.


static void demoCompareRecords(Args _args)
{
    VendTable vendTable_1 = VendTable::find('ABC'); 
    VendTable vendTable_2 = VendTable::find('XYZ'); 
 
    container   con;
    int         i;
    ;
 
    con = MyClass::compareRecords(vendTable_1 , vendTable_2 );
 
    for (i=1; i<=conLen(con); i+=3)
    {
        info(strFmt("%1, %2 ,%3"
                   ,fieldId2Name(tableNum(VendTable), conPeek(con, i))
                   ,conPeek(con, i+1)
                   ,conPeek(con, i+2)
                   )
             );
    }

Pass field value from SalesTable to CustTrans in AX 2012 & D365FO



Pass field value from SalesTable to CustTrans in AX 2012 & D365FO


AX 2012 

Following are the steps to pass the value from Sales Table to custtrans.

1) Create a new field (If not already existing)

2) Create the parm method for that field on CustVoucher class

3) Assign value to this parm method in SalesInvoiceJournalPost.postCustVend() method by using the salesTable buffer

4) Add the code for assigning the variable value(or the parm method value) in CustVoucher.initCustVendTrans() method

And now post an invoice and go to custTrans table to check the field value.

Source AX-2012

D365FO

Add the field in SalesTable 
Add the field in CustTrans
Create Extension class of SalesInvoiceJournalPost
Override postCustVend method using coc 

[ExtensionOf(classStr(SalesInvoiceJournalPost))]
final class SLD_SalesInvoiceJournalPost_Extension
{
    /// <summary>
    ///   Performs the customer related postings.
    /// </summary>
    protected void postCustVend()
    {
        CustTrans                   custTrans;
        Name                        ecomMethodOfPayment = this.salesTable.SLDTenderTypeName;        // getting E-Com method of payment from Sales order

        next postCustVend();

        // getting the customer transaction
        custTrans                   = CustTrans::findByVoucher(this.custInvoiceJour.LedgerVoucher);
        custTrans.selectForUpdate(true);

        // updating the customer transaction
        ttsbegin;
        custTrans.SLDTenderTypeName = ecomMethodOfPayment;
        custTrans.update();
        ttscommit;
    }

Settle Clearing Entries (Postdated Check) Status



Settle Clearing Entries (Postdated Check) Status



Recently I face the issue that after posting of payment journal status of a post-dated check was not changed from Open to Post. I have lots of R&D in this but no luck,

So I write a batch job where will change the status of custVendPosted check for me.






    LedgerJournalTable _ledgerJournalTable;
    LedgerJournalTrans _ledgerJournalTrans;
    CustVendPDCRegister custPDC;
    Counter             _counter=0;

    while select forUpdate custPDC
            where custPDC.PDCStatus==PostDatedCheckStatus::Open
            && custPDC.MaturityDate > systemDateGet()
          exists join _ledgerJournalTrans
            where custPDC.LedgerJournalTrans==_ledgerJournalTrans.RecId
          exists join _ledgerJournalTable
            where _ledgerJournalTrans.JournalNum==_ledgerJournalTable.JournalNum
            && _ledgerJournalTable.Posted==NoYes::Yes
    {
               _counter++;
               custPDC.PDCStatus=PostDatedCheckStatus::Posted;
               ttsBegin;
               custPDC.update();
               ttsCommit;

    }

Form Data Source Field Method Override D365FO


Form Data Source Field Method Override D365FO



In this demo, I will show to create an extension class of form data source Field class and override method through COC.

Here is the annotation code to create COC



[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(FormName, DataSourceName,DataFieldName))]


In this demo, we are using the HcmWorker form and creating Extension of DirPerson Data source field Personal Title..

[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(HcmWorker, DirPerson,PersonalTitle))]

In actual code, you can find the method in the Hcmworker form 


 [DataField]
        class PersonalTitle
        {
            public Common lookupReference(FormReferenceControl _formReferenceControl)
            {
                return DirUtility::buildAffixReferenceControlLookup(_formReferenceControl, DirNameAffixType::PersonalPrefix);
            }

        }


Here is the code through which we create extensions.

[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(HcmWorker, DirPerson,PersonalTitle))]
final class Demo_Extension
{
}


Here is the code through this we override the method.


[ExtensionOf(formDataFieldStr(HcmWorker, DirPerson,PersonalTitle))]
final class Demo_Extension
{
    public Common lookupReference(FormReferenceControl _formReferenceControl)
    {
        next lookupReference(_formReferenceControl);
        return DirUtility::buildAffixReferenceControlLookup(_formReferenceControl, DirNameAffixType::PersonalPrefix);
    }

}

Now perform build in sync on your module. enjoy

Form Data Source Method override COC D365FO


Form Data Source Method override COC D365FO


Here is the sample how can you override the form data-source event.

In this demo we have created the extension of HcmWorker form data-source (HcmWorker).


Here is the original method  of HcmWorker data-source 

    public boolean validateWrite()
        {
            boolean ret;

            ret = super();

            if (ret)
            {
                partyForm.validateWrite();
            }

            return ret;
        }

Here is the  code to create form data-source extension class 

[ExtensionOf(formdatasourcestr(HcmWorker, HcmWorker))]
final class Demo_Extension
{

}


Here is the code to override the data-source method through COC.

[ExtensionOf(formdatasourcestr(HcmWorker, HcmWorker))]
final class Demo_Extension
{
    public boolean validateWrite()
    {
        boolean ret;

        ret  =  next validateWrite();

        if (ret)
        {
                    
           /// do your code here
        }

        return ret;
    }

}

Default parameters can be wrapped In extension classes COC


Default parameters can be wrapped In extension classes




In Build-8.1 you can override the default parameter by using class extension COC.


Code reference 

There is the method in HCMWORKER table isEmployee in which you can see the default value set with _validFrom & _validto.


  public HcmIsEmployee isEmployee(
        utcdatetime   _validFrom = DateTimeUtil::utcNow(),
        utcdatetime   _validTo = _validFrom
    )
    {
        HcmIsEmployee   hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::No;
        HcmEmployment   hcmEmployment;
        unchecked(Uncheck::XDS)
        {
            if (prmisDefault(_validFrom) && prmisDefault(_validTo))
            {
                select firstonly RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }
            else if (_validFrom == _validTo)
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }
            else
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom, _validTo) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }

            if (hcmEmployment.RecId != 0)
            {
                hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::Yes;
            }

            return hcmIsEmployee;
        }
    }


So we created extension class of Hcmworker with name of Demo_Extension and override the method using COC.



[ExtensionOf(tableStr(HcmWorker))]
final class Demo_Extension
{

    public HcmIsEmployee isEmployee(
        utcdatetime   _validFrom,
        utcdatetime   _validTo 
    )
    {
        HcmIsEmployee   hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::No;
        HcmEmployment   hcmEmployment;
      
        next isEmployee(_validFrom,_validTo);

               unchecked(Uncheck::XDS)
        {
           if (_validFrom == _validTo)
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }
            else
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom, _validTo) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }

            if (hcmEmployment.RecId != 0)
            {
                hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::Yes;
            }

            return hcmIsEmployee;
        }
    }

}

Now perform build & Sync on your module..
