Question

I want to show which user created Invoice, for this i have added default Acumatica field, but the label is showing as Created By, how can i change that label name to "Invoice Created By". Please have a look at below screenshot for field am referring to.

Answer 1

You could use PXUIFieldAttribute.SetDisplayName static method to change DAC field’s display name. This change will be applicable only for Sales Invoice Entry Graph (SO303000 screen)
public class SOInvoiceEntryPXDemoExt : PXGraphExtension<SOInvoiceEntry>
{
public override void Initialize()
{
PXUIFieldAttribute.SetDisplayName<ARInvoice.createdByID>(Base.Document.Cache, "Invoice Created By");
}
}
If you need display name changed for this field in all screens, you need to have DAC Extension as below:
With this, attributes specified in an extension DAC apply to DAC class in every Graph of the application unless a Graph replaces them with other attributes.
public class ARInvoicePXDemoExt : PXCacheExtension<ARInvoice>
{
[PXMergeAttributes(Method = MergeMethod.Append)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Invoice Created By", Enabled = false, IsReadOnly = true)]
public virtual Guid? CreatedByID { get; set; }
}
You need to add CreatedByID field on screen SO303000
And set DisplayMode property to Text.

Answer 2

The 'CreatedByID' I believe is an audit field and therefore cannot easily change the ui of the additional data fields available through the control. The resolution I would suggest is a non database backed UI field that is populated during row selecting. Example can be found below :
public class SOOrderEntryExtension : PXGraphExtension<SOOrderEntry>
{
public virtual void SOOrder_RowSelecting(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectingEventArgs e)
{
SOOrder row = e.Row as SOOrder;
if(row != null)
{
SOOrderExtension rowExt = PXCache<SOOrder>.GetExtension<SOOrderExtension>(row);
Users user = PXSelectReadonly<Users, Where<Users.pKID, Equal<Required<Users.pKID>>>>.Select(this.Base, row.CreatedByID);
if(user != null)
{
rowExt.InvoiceCreatedBy = user.DisplayName;
}
}
}
}
public class SOOrderExtension : PXCacheExtension<SOOrder>
{
public abstract class invoiceCreatedBy : PX.Data.IBqlField
{
}
[PXString]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Invoice Created By")]
public virtual string InvoiceCreatedBy { get; set; }
}
