NAV 2009 R2 Webservice Create problem

mihail_kolev

Hello there,

I'm facing a problem when creating records in Navision. I create a contact like this:

Contacts Contact = new Contacts();
Contact.Name = String.Format("{0} {1}", FirstName, FamilyName);
Contact.Address_Floor = 2;
ContactsService.Create(ref Contact);

so far so good, but when I check the created contact, every integer field is left 0. Has anyone faced the problem (or am I doing it wrong :oops: )

The integer fields in the Contact table are all flowfields. So you don't populate them in the Contact table itself - they are sums (or lookups, etc.) of fields from other tables.

No, these are my custom fields. I'm pretty sure they are not flowfields . The interesting thing is that the Text, Option, Code fields are updated with the Create method. But integer fields can be updated only by the Update method. Not a big pain for me, but this forces me to make two web service calls instead of just one.

You need to put below code in your code.

Contact.Address_FloorSpecified = true;

Example

Contacts Contact = new Contacts();
Contact.Name = String.Format("{0} {1}", FirstName, FamilyName);
Contact.Address_FloorSpecified = true;
Contact.Address_Floor = 2;
ContactsService.Create(ref Contact);
