Introduction: In this blog article, we will see how we can create Item Requirement on insertion of Item Forecast using code. Steps: Create Extension Class for ForecastSales Table that is Item Forecast and using CoC for post insert() method we will initialize Item Requirement. We will call a new class which is created in Step 2. public void insert() {     next insert();     SalesType salesType = SalesType::ItemReq;     CFSCreateItemReqFrmItemForecast createItemReq = new CFSCreateItemReqFrmItemForecast();     createItemReq.initParameters(this);     createItemReq.copyToSalesLine(SalesType); } Create a new class that will initialize values and insert record in Item Requirement form. class CFSCreateItemReqFrmItemForecast { ForecastSales forecastSales; }  In the new class create a method initParameter. This method will initialize ForecastSales object. void initParameters(ForecastSales _forecastSales) { forecastSales = _forecastSales; }  Create another method ‘copytoSalesLine’. It will validate the record and call other methods to copy values to SalesLine Table. public void copyToSalesLine(SalesType _salesType) { ProjTable projTable = ProjTable::find(forecastSales.ProjId); if (_salesType == SalesType::ItemReq) { if (!ProjStatusType::construct(projTable).validateWriteItemRequirement()) { throw error(“@SYS18447”); } } else { if (!ProjStatusType::construct(projTable).validateWriteSalesLine()) { throw error(“@SYS18447”); } } SalesLine salesLine = this.initializeSalesLine(_salesType, forecastSales, projTable); salesLine.createLine(false, // Validation false, // Init from SalesTable true, // Init from InventTable true, // Calc invent Qty false, // Search markup – copied from salesQuotationline false, // Search price – copied from salesQuotationline false, // Check reservation true); // Skip creditlimit check this.updateSalesLine(salesLine, forecastSales); salesLine.update(); } Create a new method ‘initializeSalesLine’. It is called from copyToSalesLine(). protected SalesLine initializeSalesLine(SalesType _salesType, ForecastSales _forecastSales, ProjTable _projTable) { SalesLine salesLine; salesLine.SalesType = _salesType; salesLine.initValue(); salesLine.setInventDimId(_forecastSales.InventDimId); salesLine.ItemId = _forecastSales.ItemId; salesLine.SalesQty = _forecastSales.SalesQty; salesLine.SalesUnit = _forecastSales.SalesUnitId; salesLine.ProjId = _forecastSales.ProjId; salesLine.ActivityNumber = _forecastSales.ActivityNumber; salesLine.CurrencyCode = _forecastSales.Currency; salesLine.initFromProjTable(_projTable, false); return salesLine; } Create a new method updateSalesLine(). It is called from copyToSalesLine() method. protected void updateSalesLine(SalesLine _salesLine, ForecastSales _forecastSales) {     _salesLine.DefaultDimension =       _salesLine.copyDimension(_forecastSales.DefaultDimension);     _salesLine.ProjLinePropertyId = _forecastSales.ProjLinePropertyId;     _salesLine.TaxGroup = _forecastSales.TaxGroupId;     _salesLine.TaxItemGroup = _forecastSales.TaxItemGroupId;     _salesLine.ProjCategoryId = _forecastSales.ProjCategoryId;     _salesLine.CostPrice = _forecastSales.CostPrice;     _salesLine.SalesPrice = _forecastSales.SalesPrice;     _salesLine.LinePercent = _forecastSales.DiscPercent;     _salesLine.LineDisc = _forecastSales.DiscAmount;     _salesLine.LineAmount = 0;     _salesLine.LineAmount = _salesLine.calcLineAmount();     SalesLineType_ItemReq::setSalesLineReceiptDate(_salesLine); }

Introduction: In this blog article, we will see how we can post the journal by using code. How to do? Create a new method and write below code. In this code you declare object of Class ‘LedgerJournalCheckPost’. This class will use journal buffer and post it. public void postJournal(LedgerJournalTable ledgerJournalTable) { LedgerJournalCheckPost jourPost; jourPost = LedgerJournalCheckPost::newLedgerJournalTable(ledgerJournalTable, NoYes::Yes); jourPost.runOperation(); }

In this blog article, we will see how we can create Fixed Asset Journal using X++. Write below code to create Journal Header in LedgerJournalTable Table and Lines record in LedgerJournalTrans and LedgerJournalTrans_Asset Tables. public void createFixedAssetJournal()     {                LedgerJournalTable ledgerJournalTable;         LedgerJournalTrans ledgerJournalTrans;         LedgerJournalTrans_Asset ledgerJournalTrans_Asset;         Assettable assetTable;         ledgerJournalTable.initValue();         ledgerJournalTable.JournalNum   = JournalTableData::newTable(ledgerJournalTable).nextJournalId();         ledgerJournalTable.Posted       = NoYes::No;         ledgerJournalTable.JournalName  = ‘ACQUI’;         ledgerJournalTable.JournalType  = LedgerJournalType::Assets;         ledgerJournalTable.initFromLedgerJournalName(ledgerJournalTable.JournalName);         ledgerJournalTable.insert();          ledgerjournalTrans.initValue();         ledgerJournalTrans.CurrencyCode      = Ledger::accountingCurrency(CompanyInfo::find().RecId);         ledgerJournalTrans.AccountType       = LedgerJournalACType::FixedAssets;         ledgerJournalTrans.TransactionType   = LedgerTransType::FixedAssets;         ledgerJournalTrans.Approved          = NoYes::Yes;         ledgerJournalTrans.Approver          = HcmWorker::userId2Worker(curuserid());             ledgerJournalTrans.LineNum                              = LedgerJournalTrans::lastLineNum(ledgerJournalTrans.JournalNum) + 1;         ledgerJournalTrans.TransDate                            = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone());         ledgerJournalTrans.LedgerDimension                      = LedgerDynamicAccountHelper::getDynamicAccountFromAccountNumber(AssetTable.AssetId,LedgerJournalACType::FixedAssets);                   ledgerJournalTrans.accountName();                ledgerJournalTrans.AmountCurDebit                       = ’45’;         ledgerJournalTrans.OffsetAccountType                    = LedgerJournalACType::Ledger;         ledgerJournalTrans.OffsetLedgerDimension                = ledgerJournalTrans.getOffsetLedgerDimensionForLedgerType(AssetLedgerAccounts::assetOffsetLedgerDimension(AssetTable.AssetId, AssetTable.assetBookCurrent().BookId, AssetTransType::Acquisition),curExt());         ledgerJournalTrans.insert();         ledgerJournalTrans_Asset.initValue();         ledgerJournalTrans_Asset.RefRecId                       = ledgerJournalTrans.RecId;         ledgerJournalTrans_Asset.AssetId                        = assetTable.assetId;         ledgerJournalTrans_Asset.TransType                      = AssetTransTypeJournal::Acquisition;         ledgerJournalTrans_Asset.BookId                         = AssetTable.assetBookCurrent().BookId;         ledgerJournalTrans_asset.insert();         ttsbegin;         LedgerJournalTable.selectForUpdate(true);         LedgerJournalTable.numOfLines = LedgerJournalTable.numOfLines();         LedgerJournalTable.update();         ttscommit; }

In this blog article, we will see how we can create a Fixed Asset using code based on AssetGroupID. Add below code in class to create a Fixed Asset, public void createFixedAsset(AssetGroupId assetGroupId) {         AssetTable assetTable;         NumberSeq numberSeq;         assetTable.initValue();         assetTable.assetGroup = AssetGroupId;         //Initialize Number Seq for Asset Id         numberSeq = assetTable.initAssetNumberSeq(assetTable.Assetgroup);         AssetTable.AssetId = NumberSeq.num();           //Initialize other fields based on Asset Group assetTable.initFromAssetGroupId(assetTable.Assetgroup);         //Initialize name and Name Alias fron Item Id         assetTable.Name = InventTable::find(‘ITM1104’).itemName();         assetTable.NameAlias = assetTable.Name;         //Validate and Insert Fixed Asset. On insertion asset book is also created         assetTable.validateWrite();         assetTable.insert();     }
