How to Automatically Insert Record in RUN Form

bob_up

I have written a 'batch control' form for purchase invoices. The user can add, change or delete purchase invoices from this form, then post them as a batch once the total amounts add up to a batch control total.

I have added a function to form 51 'Purchase Invoice' , by which I pass the batch ID and the purchase header from the batch header form (if the user has selected to modify an existing invoice in the batch).

If the user clicks the 'Insert' option on the batch header, I would like to open form 51 in insert mode, ie as if the user had pressed F3 in that form.

Is this possible ?

May be you need to pass empty record to the form when running it? (or you can use SendKeys to send {F3}).

is your batch form based on table 38 or is it an Form without an source table :?: If yes (based on table) and u will make it possible to add record only in form 51 you can do following.

set propertie "insert allowed" to false.
Make an menu button with Shortcut F3. Behind this, you set your source to insert an new Header.

PurchHeader.init;
PurchHeader."Document Type" := PurchHeader."Document Type"::Invoice:
PurchHeader."No." := '';
PurchHeader.insert(true); //new No. from No Series
Form.runmodal(51,PurchHeader);

Noew, if user press F3 on "batch form" the form 51 will beopend with an new No.

What you can do is

On the open form trigger put this code

rec.INIT;
rec.MARK(TRUE);
rec.MARKEDONLY(TRUE);


Now you open on an empty record.
The problem is that it will be the only record visible in the Form.

Hope you can use this
