Dears,
I'm using Microsoft Dynamics AX2012 R3
The Case: I want to make a custom lookup in Inventory Management ==> Journals ==> Item Transactions ==> Movement ==> Lines
I want to relate the Item Id to show all lines in the SalesLines Table in order to get the ItemId and It's dimensions (Config/Size/Color/Style) and when I select it I want to move the selection to the movement line.
My Solution:
Step1: I've made a custom view (viewCustomItemId) that shows all SalesLines tables and related to InventDim to show the dimensions.
Step2: I've made a custom form (frmCustomItemId) and added the view (viewCustomItemId) as a datasource and added all fields to a grid
Step3: In the form (InventJournalMovement) I've overrided the lookup method and added below code
Args args = new Args();
viewCustomItemId _viewCustomItemId;
args.name(formstr(frmCustomItemId));
args.caller(element);
newPopup = classFactory.formRunClass(args);
this.performFormLookup(newPopup);
newPopup.init();
newPopup.wait();
if (newPopup.closedOk())
{
_viewCustomItemId = newPopup.docCursor();
InventJournalTrans.ItemId = _viewCustomItemId.ItemId;
InventDim.configId = _viewCustomItemId.configId;
InventDim.InventSizeId = _viewCustomItemId.InventSizeId;
InventDim.InventColorId = _viewCustomItemId.InventColorId;
InventDim.InventStyleId = _viewCustomItemId.InventStyleId;
InventJournalTrans_DS.research();
}
Problem: When the lookup form is closed all fields are set to the movement line but I get warning message (Field 'Item number' must be filled in.) and the line number in the database are set to be minus for this line and also the default site and warehouse for this Item is not automatically set.
Question: Looks like I've retrieved the values but didn't pass it correctly to the lookup of the field, I don't understand what exactly I missed to make it work normally.
Thanks in advance.
I'm surprised I missed this at first glance.
This line is your problem:
InventJournalTrans_DS.research();
You're researching before you've updated/written the data. I'm not sure why you're researching in the first place, but you have to do one or the other. Write/Update, then research or don't research. The research is where you're losing the ItemId you've input.

In App Maker, I am displaying a table and want to replace table cell data with different text using a data lookup from another table. Assume two tables, Departments and Employees.
Departments is two fields, DeptID and DeptDescription.
Employees is multiple fields including DeptID.
In the table listing for Employees, I would like to replace the DeptID with the DeptDescription. (The page datasource is Employees. I do not want to set up a relationship between the data models.)
I am guessing I want to do some scripting in the onDataLoad event for the table cell label for DeptID. I have this much so far:
app.datasources.Departments.query.filters.DeptID._equals = widget.datasource.item.DeptID;
app.datasources.Departments.newQuery().run();
widget.text = app.datasources.Departments.item.DeptDescription;
I know this is not correct, but am I close?
This answer is untested, but I wanted to present a possible solution that would not require a lot of DB calls, especially ones that make repeated calls to a server script which might consume a lot of processing time when you do line item calls.
Set up a separate datasource under the Department model. Change the default 'Query Builder' to 'Query Script' and add a parameter of type 'list(number)' or 'list(string)', this should match your Primary Key field type. Uncheck the 'auto load' option.
In your 'Query Script' portion enter the following code:
query.filters.Id._in = query.parameters.YourParameter;
return query.run();
Go to your Employees datasource that is supposed to generate your table and find your 'On Load' client script section. In this section enter the following code:
var departmentsDs = app.datasources.YourDepartmentsDs;
departmentsDs.properties.YourParameter = datasource.items.map(function(deptIds) {return deptIds.DeptID;});
departmentDs.load();
Now go the page that contains your table. If you have not already create a label widget do so now. In this label widget for the text binding enter the following:
#datasources.YourDepartmentsDs.loaded && (#datasources.YourDepartmentsDs.items).map(function(Id){return Id.Id}).indexOf(#widget.datasource.item.DeptID) !== -1 ? #datasources.YourDepartmentDs.items[(#datasources.YourDepartmentsDs.items).map(function(Id){return Id.Id}).indexOf(#widget.datasource.item.DeptID)].DeptDescription : 'Unable to retrieve Dept Description'
As stated this is untested and I wrote the code from memory without App Maker in front of me so it may require some additional tweaking. Going with the first option presented by J.G. would also be a very viable solution though. And I apologize but the code formatter does not seem to be working for me.
1 way) Create an aggregate table that joins your tables if you need to bypass using the relations feature. This way you can use sql to join the two tables in the datasource definition
2) if you don't want to make a new table. Change the text from a value binding to "more options"
=getDescription(#datasource.item.DeptId)
and then the code you wrote in a client side script
function getDescription(id){
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(function successHandler(result){ return result;})
.withFailureHandler( function failureHandler(e){ console.log(" Failed" +e);})
.queryValue(id);
}
server side script:
function queryValue(id){
var query = app.models.Departments.newQuery();
query.filters.DeptID._equals = id;
var results = query.run();
return results[0]["DeptDescription"];
}
that last line might be results[0].DeptDescription
I had to import data in hcmposition table.
however, the positionid look like 000001 and I have used X++ to insert data into hcmpostion from an external table.
after the data is inserted, I tried to create a position form AX position form and I got the following error
Cannot create a record in Positions (HcmPosition). Position: 000001.The record already exists
in order to fix the issue I have tried to update the SYSTEMSEQUENCES table by updating the nexval field to be equal the maximum recid +1 available in hcmpositon.
however, I am still getting the same error.
You don't need to change nextval in the SYSTEMSEQUENCES table - it has a different purpose. Instead, try the following:
Open Human resources > Setup > Parameters > Human resources shared parameters > Number sequences.
Right-click the Position number sequence code, select View details.
Expand the General tab page, modify the Next number to be released from the number sequence.
Click the Status list button in the action pane to make sure it doesn't contain numbers that have already been used.
I would like to have the user enter order items on my order form as a table where they input the Qty and Prod #. I've not programmed with that type of field so a blank line would initially display for a new order. They would type a Qty and an item number in the fields and hit enter. When they hit enter from either field, what do I program to check the validity of the two fields. Plus I need the item number to be a drop down/type ahead field. Does anyone have an example of this type of thing they could send me? It would be looking at a view in the product catalog db. Also, after they enter an item to order, that "doc" should get stored/saved and a new blank line should open up.
What type of control do I need to use and should these items be stored in their own form or on the main order document? Could use some guidance here. Thanks.
The question you have is a little broad but I will make a couple suggestions if I can.
You have the main order doc. Then a repeat control with each item. Filter each item by a uniqueID that allows you to join the main doc to the child docs. Each item should be a separate document. You then need to make the items in the repeat control editable.
There is a lot of things going on here and I think you need to get started somewhere. I think the first step is to do a repeat control with response documents.Xpages, Inherited documents in view panel by using #Unique
I am trying to create a report putting a field called contact which has the name of a person. This name is linked directly to another table where I keep all the contacts.
For some strange reason, when I include this name (which in query view displays as the name of the contact), instead of the name appearing, the unique ID number is shown on my report.
As mentioned in the article cited in the above comment, you can use a Combo Box control on your report to do the lookup for you. To see how this can be done, create a new report based on the table containing the lookup field, then drag and drop that field onto the report. That will create a Combo Box control with properties that look something like this:
Row Source: SELECT [Clients].[ID], [Clients].[LastName] FROM Clients;
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0";1"
You could use a similar Combo Box control on your actual report to display the client's name rather than their numeric ID value.
Another alternative would be to change the Control Source of the report's Text Box control to have it do a DLookUp() on the table. If the lookup field is named [client] then changing the Control Source of the Text Box to something like
=DLookUp("LastName","Clients","ID=" & [client])
would also work.
I wanted to add to the great answer by Gord:
When using a "web" database (started in Access 2007 I think), you cannot change a report's fields to ComboBox style, nor can you use DLookUp(). (web databases lack a ton of features)
The workaround for this, if you want to create a Web-Report that uses lookup fields, is to create a Web-Query first based on your Web-Table (all the Web-* stuff has a www planet icon over the logo, if you create a new Web-DB in Access 2007+ you'll see what I mean)
So, instead of Table -> Report, you'll have to do W-Table -> W-Query -> W-Report.
Then, the only thing you need to customize to get the data right is the W-Query. Start by trying to reproduce the look in the query to match what you want users to see in the report. Note that here in the query, lookups will work fine (instead of the unique ID's, you get field names like you want). However, this will not carry over to the report. To do that, you gotta get the actual text field name you want into the query:
You should already have one table in your query; start by adding the table that your first lookup field points to. For example, the table I want to print is called Stock_Boards, and it has a lookup field called PCBID_lookup that points to the table Stock_PCBs.
Since you're using lookup fields, there should already be a relationship line between the two tables when you add the second one. If there isn't, something has gone horribly wrong.
Now, see how that line connects two fields on the two different tables? For example, I've got my PCBID_lookup field on my Stock_Boards table, which connects to the ID field on my Stock_PCBs table. If I created a report from this now, PCBID_lookup would be a number, a number that correlates to the ID of a record on Stock_PCBs.
To fix it, I will add the name field I want to show up on the report. In my example, that happens to be a Part Number, rather than the ID. I add the PartNumber field from my Stock_PCBs table to the query, and remove the PCBID_lookup field of the Stock_Boards table from my query.
Since PartNumber is what I want to show up on my report, it effectively replaces the original field (PCBID_lookup)
Repeat for all lookup fields you want in your report.
I had 1 more: I removed the Status field of the Stock_Boards table (which was an ID/Lookup) and added the 'Status' field from the Status table (which was the actual text name)
When finished, your query should look exactly how you want the data to appear, without any special tricks or asking Access to do something unnatural. Save your query, and create a web-report from it. Done!
I'm working on a site that is a database of thousands record albums and am attempting to create an "album of the day" block. My solution has been to create a nodequeue of specific records, create a view that passes the current day of the year as an argument, and then uses this value to call the nodequeue item with that same numbered position. I do this by providing a "Default Argument" as PHP code in the "Nodequeue: Position" argument setting. Here's the code I use:
$nodequeueTotalNodes = 120;
$dayOfTheYear = date("z");
$nodeQueuePosition = $dayOfTheYear % $nodequeueTotalNodes;
return $nodeQueuePosition;
The above code works to my satisfaction but my problem is I have to manually change the value of $nodequeueTotalNodes every time I add or remove an item from my nodequeue.
Is there a way to pull the total number of nodes from my queue to replace the "120" in my code above?
The nodequeue_nodes table holds all the nodes in your queues. Something like this should do the trick, where qid is the queue id:
$nodequeueTotalNodes = db_result(db_query('SELECT COUNT(nid) FROM {nodequeue_nodes} WHERE qid = %d', $qid));
If you're using a subqueue there's a column called sqid which you can use.
