Create Sales Order and Invoicing the Order using X++

Hi All.
The below Job creates the Sales order from X++ code and post the invoice by making use of SalesFormLetter class.

static void CreateSalesOrder_and_Invoice(Args _args)
{
NumberSeq numberSeq;
SalesTable salesTable;
SalesLine salesLine;
SalesFormLetter salesFormLetter;
;
ttsbegin;
numberSeq = NumberSeq::newGetNumFromCode(salesParameters::numRefSalesId().NumberSequence,true);
// Initialize Sales order values
salesTable.initValue();
salesTable.SalesId = numberSeq.num();
salesTable.CustAccount = '3001';
salesTable.initFromCustTable();

if (!salesTable.validateWrite())
{
throw Exception::Error;
}
salesTable.insert();
// Initialize Sales Line items
salesLine.SalesId = salesTable.SalesId;
salesLine.ItemId = '1101';
salesLine.createLine(true, true, true, true, true, false);
ttscommit;
salesFormLetter = salesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Invoice);
//Pass the salesTable buffer to the update method.Also you can pass optional parameters to the update method based on your need.
salesFormLetter.update(salesTable);

if(SalesTable::find(salesTable.salesId).DocumentStatus == DocumentStatus::Invoice)
{
info(strfmt("Posted invoiced journal for Sales order %1",salesTable.SalesId));
}
}

Calling form method using X++

Hi All,
You can call form methods in X++ using the code below.
static void callingFormMethod(Args _args)
{
Args args = new Args("Address"); //Address is the FormName
FormRun formRun = ClassFactory.formRunClass(args);
;
print(formRun.owner().returnIntValue()); //returnIntValue is the dispaly method in Address Form
pause;
}

Get the filename from the File Path using X++

AX has a standard method in the Global Class to split the file name from the entire file path.The method is fileNameSplit().The method takes filepath as the parameter.It splits the filepath into three different strings filepath,filename,fileextension respectively.The usage of the function can be seen below.

Filename filepath;
Filename filename;
Filename fileType;
str fileNameString;
;
[filepath, filename, fileType] = fileNameSplit(fileNamePath);
fileNameString= filename + fileType;

Now the fileNameString will return you the filename with extension.
I have tested this for the file path in the dialog field.It works fine.

Thanks.
