Print PO only if Status is RELEASED

lavanyaballurgi

Hello guys,

Here is my requirement - do not allow printing of Purchase ORder untill the status is RELEASED.

Here is my code -

Purchase Header - OnPreDataItem()
IF NOT CurrReport.PREVIEW THEN BEGIN
IF STATUS =<> STATUS::RELEASED THEN
ERROR(TEXT50000, "No.");
END;

It throws the error for OPEN as well as RELEASED purchase orders. What might be wrong?

IF STATUS =<> STATUS::RELEASED THEN

What the =<> ??
I know only <>.

Use it. TESTFIELD(Status,Status::Release);

Oh thats typo
Its actually <>

KeeperRU

Error is here:
Purchase Header - OnPreDataItem()

At that moment you don't have a Record. (it's empty)
And Status always = 0

Yes keeperRU you are right... using the debugger I could see that the STATUS is always empty. So where else do you suggest me to keep this code?

Thanks KeeperRU ... placing my code on <Purchase Header - OnAfterGetRecord()> did the trick.
Thanks vijay_g for suggesting TESTFIELD.
I am marking this post as resolved :thumbsup:
