I'm trying to write code for this scenario:
Go through every customer (customer table) to see if they were members year 2018 (I find that info in the membership table, year field). If there is not a membership that year I want to create it (create customer).
My coding skills aren't great. I get error message 215 (not sure I can translate, but basically: create cannot be done on a 'each' modified post, something like that...).
This is the code I have tried:
FOR EACH customer NO-LOCK,
EACH membership:
IF CAN-FIND (FIRST membership WHERE membership.year = 2019) THEN DO:
LEAVE.
END.
ELSE DO:
CREATE membership.
ASSIGN membership.year = 2018
.... fill the rest of the table....
END.
END.
Obviously I am doing it wrong. Suggestions would be very much appreciated!
The first problem is figuring out how customer and membership are related.
For the sake of discussion I am assuming that they have a "custNum" field in common.
In that case something like this ought to work:
for each customer no-lock:
if not can-find( membership where membership.year = 2018 and membership.custNum = customer.custNum ) then
do:
create membership.
assign
membership.year = 2018
membership.custNum = customer.custNum
/* whatever... */
.
end.
end.
Tom's answer is correct in that it fixes your code and you don't get the error anymore.
I will try to do explain the error message.
The error message is
** CREATE cannot be processed for an EACH mode record--<table>. (215)
In this case this means that you are having the CREATE membership statement inside the EACH membership loop. If the rest of the code were correct, the solution would be to use a different buffer for the CREATE. That would change your code into the following (which is still totally wrong but should probably get rid of the compile error):
define buffer bmembership for membership.
FOR EACH customer NO-LOCK,
EACH membership:
IF CAN-FIND (FIRST membership WHERE membership.year = 2019) THEN DO:
LEAVE.
END.
ELSE DO:
CREATE bmembership.
ASSIGN bmembership.year = 2018
.... fill the rest of the table....
END.
END.

For this report, I need one field (Sales Code) to only show if it has been updated. Periodically they change Sales code and I want a report to show the prior code along side the new code when it changes. Along with its part number and so on.
I was wondering the best way to go about tackling this request.
I tried to do _add_days -1 and compare the Sales code --> Sales code1. I dont think that will give me what I am looking for.
For example Sales code changes from AA --> AB.
I want to see New CODE OLD Code Part Number and so on...
AB AB 12345
The pattern you are encountering is called a slowly changing dimension.
Here's a wee free primer.
https://www.kimballgroup.com/2013/02/design-tip-152-slowly-changing-dimension-types-0-4-5-6-7/
You don't mention the structure of the data you're working with so it would be quite difficult for me to say what type you have other than the fact that you're trying to track historical data and seem to have it captured somehow rules out type 0.
Because of that, I can't come down from Mount Sinai with the solution but this can help you start to think through the problem.
In Framework manager have the modeler design the fields for SalesCode and SalesCode1
To only show if there was a change
Add a detail filter:
SalesCode <> SalesCode1
To control the context of time, have a separate filter like:
[Sales Date] between ?FromDate? and ?ToDate?
This happens in Accounts Payable -> Journals -> Payments -> Payment Journal.
I choose to see the Lines for a journal and from Functions I select Settlement. I am not sure if this is the same for everyone else.
So, when clicking Settlement, VendOpenTrans opens. I need to iterate over it, and Mark the records according to the invoice of the previously selected LedgerJournalTrans field.
First of all I have to check the VendOpenTrans fields which I am not able to accomplish.
I have added the following piece of code in the init of VendTransOpen:
VendTrans vt;
vt = vendTransOpen_ds.getFirst(true) as VendTrans ;
while (vt)
{
//Do your thing
vt= vendTransOpen_ds.getNext() as VendTrans ;
}
No elements seem to be present in the vendTransOpen_ds..
Can someone give me a hint about this?
Update 1:
Found this :
Understanding the Settlement Mechanism in Microsoft Dynamics AX
and
Automatic mark a Settlement Transactions on a Payment Journal in AX 2012
I didn't think it would be so damn difficult.. I will start digging tomorrow.
Several things are wrong, but probably my #2 is your main problem.
If you place this code in the init method, the query hasn't been executed yet, so nothing will be there. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa608211.aspx
Your code will never enter while (vt) because vt will never have a value as written because VendTrans and VendTransOpen are two different tables that don't support inheritance.
The only reason vt = vendTransOpen_ds.getFirst(true) as VendTrans ; doesn't throw an error is because FormDataSource.getFirst()/getNext() returns a Common table record.
What Jan said too.
First off, use getFirst(0) before using getNext().
The zero indicates you want all records rather than marked.
Search, use cross reference tool, or google to get lots of references for the use of these functions.
You have been so helpful in the past that I keep coming back searching for help and learning.
This time I am trying to get all products that have a quantity greater than 1 and that are in stock (is_in_stock = 1)
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
//$products->addAttributeToSelect('*');
//SELECT `e`.*, `stock`.`qty` FROM `catalog_product_entity` AS `e` LEFT JOIN `cataloginventory_stock_item` AS `stock` ON stock.product_id = e.entity_id
$products->getSelect()->joinLeft(
array('stock'=>'cataloginventory_stock_item'),
'stock.product_id = e.entity_id',
array('stock.qty', 'stock.is_in_stock')
);
This returns qty and is_in_stock columns attached to the products table. You can test it as follows:
$products->getFirstItem()->getQty();
$products->getFirstItem()->getIsInStock();
The issue begins when I try to filter by qty and is_in_stock.
$products->addFieldToFilter(array(
array('Qty','gt'=>'0'),
array('Is_in_stock','eq'=>'1'),
));
This returns - Invalid attribute name never performing filtering. I am guessing it is trying search for e.qty but cannot find it.
So, I tried to filter differently:
$products->getSelect()->where("`qty` > 0");
$products->getSelect()->where("`is_in_stock` = 1");
This is not filtering as well even though, if you look at its sql query, (var_dump((string) $products->getSelect())), and run that query in phpMyAdmin, it works.
Alan Storm in his tutorial mentions that 'The database query will not be made until you attempt to access an item in the Collection'. So, I make the $products->getFirstItem() call but it still not executing the query or filtering in another words.
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas how to filter by attributes that are joined to the table?
Thank you again,
Margots
I would suggest that you try using $products->addAttributeToFilter... instead of $products->addFieldToFilter... - the addField method only works when the field is on the main table that you are querying (in this case catalog_product_entity). Because the inventory fields are in a joined table, you need to use addAttribute.
Hope this helps,
JD
After looking under the hood I learned that _selectAttributes instance field was not assigned in Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Collection_Abstract class and that is why get exception. A solution usually would be what Jonathan Day suggested above - add addAttributeToFilter() method, however. It will return error since it cannot find such attribute for catalog/product. (qty and in_invetory are in cataloginventory_stock_item). I found two solutions to my problem both required going different direction:
One involved pursuing a way to query the Select statement that I had set for product collection(see above) but somehow it was not resetting the collection with new product. WhenI copied that Sql statment in phpMyAdmin, it worked, so how to query that statement from product collection:
$stmt = $products->getConnection('core_write')->query($products->getSelect()->__toString());
while($rows = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
echo "<br>Product Id ".$rows['entity_id'];
}
Instead of using catalog/product entity table I used the flat table - cataloginventory_stock_item to accomplish the same thing
$stockItem = new Mage_CatalogInventory_Model_Stock_Item();
$stockItems->addQtyFilter('>',0);
$stockItems->addFieldToFilter('is_in_stock',array('eq'=>'1'));
Now there is a collection of all products with qty > 0 and that are in stock.
G'day,
OK, I have now rewritten this question totally:
I am trying to import data into Dynamics through the use of the Business Connector (ideally, I would be importing it directly through SQL but I understand that is not a good idea - however I am open to other suggestions). This is to import invoices from a production system into Dynamics / Axapta (v5).
I can code to insert data into the CUSTINVOICETABLE table, which works fine and generates the RECID. However, new invoices just inserted exist without an Invoice ID (until they are posted I understand). However, I need to insert line items into the CUSTINVOICETRANS table as children of the above entry. For this you need to set the INVOICEID field to refer the above as the link to the parent. However, this does not appear possible before the invoice has been posted. Or I may be way off track?
Does anyone have any ideas or can shed any light for me? That would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Steve
To post a "Free text invoice" simply call custPostInvoiceJob.run() method.
You will have have to make the object first, then call a method with your newly created CustInvoiceTable record.
In X++:
custPostInvoiceJob = new CustPostInvoiceJob();
custPostInvoiceJob.updateQueryBuild(custInvoiceTable);
custPostInvoiceJob.run();
You will have to translate that into Business Connector calls in your preferred language.
Ok, it's actually as easy as it should be.
After the insert statement, simply use the get_Field call:
axRecord.Insert();
recID = (long)axRecord.get_Field("RECID");
You insert the line items in the CUSTINVOICELINE table (which uses a PARENTRECID), then upon posting the items get inserted into the CUSTINVOICETRANS table linked to the appropriate invoice number.
I hope this saves someone from having to work this out themselves.

I am using Entity Framework with asp.net mvc, but I don't think mvc plays a big role here.
I have an object Customer, and a lookup table (there are several, and they all behave the same way; so for simplicity I'll pick Territory). Both Customer and Territory have LastUpdated field (Datetime that is set manually in the code).
If I hardcode Territory, and get only Customer data from the View, I don't have any problems:
public ActionResult CreateCustomer([Bind(Exclude = "CustId")] Customer cm) {
cm.Territory = (from t in repo.Territory where t.ID == 2 select t).First();
repo.AddToCustomer(cm);
repo.SaveChanges();
}
As I said, no problems. However, if I use a dropdown in the view with the matching id (Territory.ID) - there is a problem. I have the following line in controller:
ViewData["territory"] = new SelectList(repo.Territory, "ID", "Name", 1);
and corresponding line in the View:
Territory: <%= Html.DropDownList("Territory.ID", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewData["territory"])%>
I get good news and bad news: the good news is that I get the territory ID nicely assigned to the appropriate member of Customer object. The bad news is that Territory.LastUpdated value is set to 1/01/0001. Obviously, I don't care about this value - but it looks like EF cares. When I call SaveChanges I am getting the following error:
SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM
Looks like EF is trying to retrieve the value from the database, and then compare it with EF value... or maybe something else - but the bottom line is I can't figure out how to prevent it from trying to be so smart.
For now, I name DropDown ID to be something different ("terID" instead of "Territory.ID"), and using FormCollection:
int terID = Int32.Parse(formData["terID"]);
cm.Territory = (from d in repo.Territory
where d.ID == terID select d).First();
This works (which makes me comfortable with my analysis) but this cannot be the best way.
I also can't believe that nobody bumped into such problem - but I couldn't find anything relevant... The best I could find is link text but it's more of a hint without much details
I tried to cut out all unrelated stuff from the code - so if there are some typos, they are in the post; not necessarily in the code itself!
Thanks
Territory.LastUpdated is being set to the default value, as EF saves the whole row / what has changed you get an exception.
The easy way to fix this is to set it to DateTime.Now before saving.
I'm assuming you are using EF 1.0 which is not good at direct foreign key maping.
Territory posted from view to action is not bound to Datacontext, hence when you save your customer object - EF saves attached Territory Object as well.
You have to get Territory object from db first and then assign it to customer.
And Your solution is perfectly fine, cos there is no other for EF 1.0 )-:
