Cpy Document for Item

aliennav

I want to make a similar functionality as "Copy Document" for copying the items(With not copying the item No.).
How it can be achieved??

kine

Something like:

  ItemNew := ItemOld;
  ItemNew.VALIDATE("No.",'');
  ItemNew.INSERT(True);

But you need to check that all related things are created too, like default dimensions etc. This code is without warranty, just for illustration how to do it...

Thanks.
I'll try this.
Also, the copy document functionality is a bit complicated which MS has provided.

Hi Kine
I think that the validate would'nt work as the No. is the primary field and it cannot be empty.
Instead we should get the next no. in it.
Am I right??

If you are doing this to create new items.

Why not look at the apply template functionality on the item card. Item card > functions > Apply Template

You can set up many templates with defined values in whatever fields you want.

Look under administration to set these up. Administration > general > master templates

Thanks jannestig but in master template creation "Unit of measure, unit price " etc. are not allowed.
The system is giving error.
Is there any way out for these fields.

My requirement is:Copy the fields of previous item no. except the fields "No.",Name of item will remain same, UOM will remain same.

Hi,

The code is straightforward as Kamil suggested - you just need to list all the tables required. I know at least three companies (including ourselves) that offer this as an add-on - we expanded this out to copy from different companies.
