Unable to enable a custom field in Cases - acumatica

I am trying to enable the custom field in Case when the Status is in Closed State. I am working on a customization for Acumatica version 20.114.0020 (2020 R1).
I have created a custom field usrIsNotBillable in CRCase DAC.
[PXDBBool]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Confirmed Not Billable", Enabled = true)]
public virtual bool? UsrIsNotBillable { get; set; }
public abstract class usrIsNotBillable : PX.Data.BQL.BqlBool.Field<usrIsNotBillable> { }
It is totally working fine when the Case is in other states than Closed. But when the case is closed, every other property gets disabled. But I want this field to be set enabled. So, I override the Row Selected method for CRCaseMaint graph as below:
protected void CRCase_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e, PXRowSelected InvokeBaseHandler)
{
InvokeBaseHandler?.Invoke(cache, e);
CRCase row = (CRCase) e.Row;
if (row == null) return;
Base.CaseCurrent.Cache.AllowUpdate = true;
Base.CaseCurrent.AllowUpdate = true;
PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<CRCaseExt.usrIsNotBillable>(cache, row, true);
}
If I use other DAC fields such as IsBillable like this:
PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<CRCase.isBillable>(cache, row, true);
It just works fine.
I checked other examples too and the implementation is similar to this. I am just not sure why it is not working in this case.
I have also checked if this screen has any existing workflows and it doesn't.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Besides writing code to enable the field in RowSelected event, it is also important to add the field in Closed state in the Workflow.
However, if this is also not working deleting contents of CstDesigner of project does the job.

Add an Address to the Branch

I am trying to add another address to a Branch in 21.203, similar to the how the DefAddress works. I have extended the Branch DAC and added the field to the extension. I also tried extending the BAccount DAC and table to get this to work but, nothing is working so far. The Address record is being created in the Address table but, the PXDBChildIdentity attribute doesn't seem to be sending back the ID to the Address record. On the screen, when I enter the values for the address, and click Save, all of the values are wiped out and the custom field (UsrCustomAddress) is never populated.
#region UsrCustomAddress
[PXDBInt()]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Custom Address")]
[PXDBChildIdentity(typeof(Address.addressID))]
public virtual Int32? UsrCustomAddress { get; set; }
public abstract class usrCustomAddress : PX.Data.BQL.BqlInt.Field<usrCustomAddress> { }
#endregion
And, then, I added the View to the BranchMaint extension.
<code>
namespace PX.Objects.CS
{
public class BranchMaint_Extension : PXGraphExtension<BranchMaint>
{
public PXSelect<Address, Where<Address.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccount.bAccountID>>,
And<Address.addressID, Equal<Current<BAccountExt.usrCustomAddress>>>>> CustomAddress;
}
}
</code>
Not sure what I'm missing?
TIA!
I handled this by manually calling .Insert() on the specific Data View in the row inserting event and writing it to the field. PXDBChildIdentity then can update the field with the real identity value (on row persist) after the link is established.
protected void _(Events.RowInserting<Branch> e)
{
if (e.Row is null) return;
Address newAddress = CustomAddress.Insert();
BranchExt ext = e.Cache.GetExtension<BranchExt >(e.Row);
ext.UsrCustomAddress = newAddress.AddressID;
}
If anyone knows how to do this in an attribute id love to know. Note, this will only work for newly created records. Any existing records would not have a row inserting event fire and fill your custom field. You need to backfill the data with SQL or just a temporary custom action that you can invoke this code manually.

Setting the Value of a Custom Field in Acumatica 2019 R1

I am in the process of upgrading from Acumatica 2018 R2 to 2019 R1. In quite a few of my customizations, I have code, triggered by a button click or an event handler, which sets/changes the value of a custom field. That was working as expected in 2018 R2. However, in 2019 R1 the values on the custom fields are not being updated. Here's a simple example.
public class SOOrderEntry_SOOpenPOsGILink_Extension : PXGraphExtension<SOOrderEntry>
{
protected virtual void SOLine_RowSelected(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
{
SOLine row = (SOLine)e.Row;
if (row != null)
{
bool isEmpty = true;
SOLineExt ext = row.GetExtension<SOLineExt>();
// logic determining value of isEmpty
ext.UsrEnableOpenPOs = isEmpty;
}
}
}
Where UsrEnableOpenPOs is defined as folows.
public class SOLineExt : PXCacheExtension<PX.Objects.SO.SOLine>
{
#region UsrEnableOpenPOs
[PXBool]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="EnableOpenPOs", Enabled = false, Visible=false)]
[PXUnboundDefault(false, PersistingCheck = PXPersistingCheck.Nothing)]
public virtual bool? UsrEnableOpenPOs { get; set; }
public abstract class usrEnableOpenPOs : PX.Data.BQL.BqlBool.Field<usrEnableOpenPOs> { }
#endregion
}
In this example, when a SOLine is selected on the SO Order Entry screen, the value of SOLineExt.UsrEnableOpenPOs should be set to the value of isEmpty. This code works in 2018 R2 and correctly updates UsrEnableOpenPOs. However, in 2019 R1, the code is triggered correctly and runs, but the value on the screen is not updated.
As I mentioned, we have quite a few instances where we are running into this problem. In some cases the code is triggered by a button click and in other cases by different events like RowSelected, RowInserting, FieldUpdated and RowUpdated.
I would appreciate some insight on why this code is no longer working and what I can do to fix it.
Should always try to set the value in cache vs the row instance.
ex:
sender.SetValueExt<SOLineExt.usrEnableOpenPOs>(row, isEmptry);
Unbound fields should be set in the RowSelecting or FieldSelecting events. The RowSelected event should be for UI changes such as disabled, visible, etc. fields.

Including default Vendor Inventory ID on Multiple Grids

I've been tasked with adding the default vendor inventory ID to grids in multiple screens in Acumatica. The field does not need to be bound and is disabled. I've gotten it as far as showing the field correctly, but only on saved records. Adding a new line and even refreshing the grid will not display the ID, I have to close the screen or switch to another record and come back before the vendor ID will display, even clicking the save button and refreshing will not cause it show. The client is using this field as a reference point so it's important it shows as soon as they select an item.
Below is the code I have for the Kit Specification screen, I need to figure out a way to make it a little more reactive, at least show properly on a refresh. I have tried using Current<> in the where statement, but that just breaks it entirely and always shows nothing.
public class INKitSpecStkDetExt : PXCacheExtension<PX.Objects.IN.INKitSpecStkDet>
{
#region VendorInventoryCode
public abstract class vendorInventoryCode: IBqlField { }
[PXDBScalar(typeof(Search2<PO.POVendorInventory.vendorInventoryID,
InnerJoin<IN.InventoryItem,
On<PO.POVendorInventory.vendorID, Equal<IN.InventoryItem.preferredVendorID>, And<PO.POVendorInventory.inventoryID, Equal<IN.InventoryItem.inventoryID>>>>,
Where<IN.InventoryItem.inventoryID,Equal<IN.INKitSpecStkDet.compInventoryID>>,
OrderBy<Desc<PO.POVendorInventory.vendorInventoryID>>>))]
[PXString(40, IsUnicode = true)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Vendor Inventory Code", Enabled=false)]
public string VendorInventoryCode{ get; set; }
#endregion
}
Once I have the code nailed down it will be used in several other places. Help very much appreciated! Frustrating to have it so close and not be able to cross the finish line...
Follow up based on feedback from HB_Acumatica, working code is below for reference:
public void INKitSpecStkDet_VendorInventoryCode_FieldSelecting(PXCache sender, PXFieldSelectingEventArgs e)
{
var row = e.Row as INKitSpecStkDet;
if (e.Row != null)
{
PO.POVendorInventory vendorInventory = PXSelectReadonly2<PO.POVendorInventory,
InnerJoin<IN.InventoryItem,
On<PO.POVendorInventory.vendorID, Equal<IN.InventoryItem.preferredVendorID>, And<PO.POVendorInventory.inventoryID, Equal<IN.InventoryItem.inventoryID>>>>,
Where<IN.InventoryItem.inventoryID, Equal<Required<IN.INKitSpecStkDet.compInventoryID>>>,
OrderBy<Desc<PO.POVendorInventory.vendorInventoryID>>>.Select(Base, row.CompInventoryID);
e.ReturnValue = vendorInventory != null ? vendorInventory.VendorInventoryID : null;
}
}
PXDBScalar attribute doesn't refresh by itself. Maybe explicitly calling RaiseFieldDefaulting method will refresh it:
object newValue = null;
base.Caches[typeof(INKitSpecStkDet)].RaiseFieldDefaulting<INKitSpecStkDetExt.vendorInventoryCode>(rowINKitSpecStkDet, out newValue);
Using PXFormula instead of PXDBScalar if possible will yield better automatic refresh behavior but has it's own set of limitation as well.
If you're looking for the simplest way that works in most contexts (except when no graph is used like in reports and generic inquiry) that would be the FieldSelecting event.
You can execute BQL and return any desired value from the event. It will be called each time the field is referenced so it should update by itself.
public void INKitSpecStkDet_VendorInventoryCode_FieldSelecting(PXCache sender, PXFieldSelectingEventArgs e)
{
PO.POVendorInventory vendorInventory = PXSelectReadonly2<Po.POVendorInventory […]>.Select(Base);
e.ReturnValue = vendorInventory != null ? vendorInventory.VendorInventoryCode : null;
}

How to Count records in a related table and allow user to override

I have a custom field on the CRActivity table in which I need to store the number of records in a related table. I am trying to set the field to the value when screen CR306030 opens. The user needs to be able to override the calculated number so, I'm thinking that I need logic on the calculation to check if the custom field is > 0, in which case, don't populate the custom field and assume it's already been set.
Previously, I've tried to do this in the Field_Selecting events but, this is not working. I'm thinking I might be able to use a PXFormula attribute. Any suggestions?
I tried making a custom attribute which is close but, it won't save the values to the db. The save button enables, I can click it and it looks like it saves but, no dice. Some mundane detail, I'm sure.....
Here's my custom attribute:
public class CFCountIfZeroAttribute : PXIntAttribute
{
public override void FieldSelecting(PXCache cache, PXFieldSelectingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row == null)
return;
CRActivity activity = (CRActivity)e.Row;
CRActivityExt activityExt = activity.GetExtension<CRActivityExt>();
if (activityExt.usrCustomField <= 0)
{
int aggregateValue = BQLToFind();
e.ReturnValue = aggregateValue;
cache.SetValue<CRActivityExt.usrCustomField>(e.Row, aggregateValue);
cache.IsDirty = true;
}
}
}
Thanks!
I don't think I've ever done a count within a PXFormula, but what if you created a custom attribute?
[DBUIInt()]
[EditableCount()]
public virtual int? CountField
public class EditableCountAttribute
{
public override void FieldSelecting(PXCache sender, PXFieldSelectingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row != null)
{
//if CountField is 0, lookup the count from another table
}
}
}
This is just off the top of my head. You could pass the field you're counting into the attribute if you wanted to do this elsewhere.

Acumatica - Remove RowSelected Event for Service Order Screen

I would like to override the standard method of the RowSelected event on the Service Orders screen. Specifically, the DocDesc field gets populated when you select a row item for the Labor tab. It will set the TranDesc to the DocDesc and I would like to keep this from happening. I am using Acumatica 6.1 which means that the Service Management Module is not standard in Acumatica during this time. I would like the method that populates this field to not run when the labor line is populated, so the DocDesc field would remain null or blank, this way the user can input their own description.
You should be able to customize the ServiceOrderEntry graph like any other graph :
protected virtual void FSServiceOrder_RowSelected(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e, PXRowSelected bs)
{
...
}
See https://help.acumatica.com/(W(3))/Main?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=4a05d4c2-cd8b-4131-bf3b-d05861de3ae6
You could override the method if it is virtual, like this :
public delegate void PersistDelegate();
[PXOverride]
public void Persist(PersistDelegate baseMethod)
{
...
baseMethod();
...
}
See https://help.acumatica.com/(W(3))/Main?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=635c830e-4617-4d5c-9fa5-035952311aa9
You could also modify the base customization, but since you are not the owner it could get difficult to maintain and track the changes.
