Posting of product receipt via code in AX 2012.

The posting of product receipt/packing slip for purchase order is primarily done by using the class: PurchFormLetter. The functions of PurchFormLetter class of 2009 AX are done by the code of two classes in 2012 : One is PurchFormLetter and the other: purchFormLetterParmData.

The class purchFormLetterParmData is responsible for creation of data which would be used by PurchFormLetter.

We could use the PurchFormLetter update method for posting packing slip in most cases, a typical code snippet will look like:

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::PackingSlip);
purchFormLetter.update(purchtable, // Purchase record Buffer
"PO_"+purchTable.PurchId, // Invoice Number
systemdateget()); // Transaction date


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

However in case you would be using run, the code structure would look similar to the one in the PurchFormLetter.update method. To create parmData we would use

purchFormLetterParmData = PurchFormletterParmData::newData(DocumentStatus::PackingSlip,VersioningUpdateType::Initial);

            purchFormLetterParmData.createData_IN(CustomsImportOrderType_IN::PurchaseOrder,false);

The piece of code would look like:

         //create our purchParmTable record to post against

         purchFormLetter = PurchFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::PackingSlip);

         //insert data into table PurchParamUpdate

purchFormLetterParmData = PurchFormletterParmData::newData(DocumentStatus::PackingSlip,VersioningUpdateType::Initial);

        purchFormLetterParmData.createData_IN(CustomsImportOrderType_IN::PurchaseOrder,false);

        purchParmTable.clear();

        purchParmTable.TransDate = SystemDateGet();

        purchParmTable.Ordering = DocumentStatus::PackingSlip;

        purchParmTable.ParmJobStatus = ParmJobStatus::Waiting;

        purchParmTable.Num = strfmt('%1', ILSGatewayQueue.RecId);

        purchParmUpdate = purchFormLetterParmData.parmParmUpdate();

        purchParmTable.ParmId = purchParmUpdate.ParmId;

        // fill in fields from PurchTable

        purchParmTable.PurchId = purchTable.PurchId;

        purchParmTable.PurchName = purchTable.PurchName;

        purchParmTable.DeliveryName= purchTable.DeliveryName;

        purchParmTable.DeliveryPostalAddress  = purchTable.DeliveryPostalAddress;

        purchParmTable.OrderAccount = purchTable.OrderAccount;

        purchParmTable.CurrencyCode = purchTable.CurrencyCode;

        purchParmTable.InvoiceAccount = purchTable.InvoiceAccount;

        purchParmTable.insert();

// here we would insert lines into purchParmLine add some logic etc

         purchFormLetter.transDate(systemDateGet());

        purchFormLetter.proforma(false);

        purchFormLetter.specQty(PurchUpdate::All);

        purchFormLetter.purchTable(purchTable);

        purchFormLetter.parmParmTableNum(purchParmTable.ParmId);// this is the ID we hard code as the product receipt ID, if we do the posting via UI,

                                                                    // user would have the option to manually enter this value

        purchFormLetter.parmId(purchParmTable.ParmId);

        purchFormLetter.purchParmUpdate(purchFormLetterParmData.parmParmUpdate());

        purchFormLetter.run();
