Jiwa

Back in Jiwa 6, when importing an XML into sales orders as a job costing invoice, we'd specify

Code: Select all

<JiwaDocument Type="JobSalesOrder">

I can't find the equivalent for Jiwa 7.
How do we specify the

Code: Select all

Type=

bit so that a new sales order is imported as a JobCost sales order?

What have you tried?

This works for me in the demo data - if I import a file with the contents shown below, it creates a job invoice:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<JiwaDocument Type="JobSalesOrder">
   <InvoiceInitDate xmlns="JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaSales.SalesOrder.XML">2021-10-29T00:00:00</InvoiceInitDate>
   <OrderNo></OrderNo>
   <SOReference></SOReference>
   <JobCosting xmlns="JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaSales.SalesOrder.XML">
      <JobCostID>335464701f5b441fa395</JobCostID>
      <JobCostNo>003</JobCostNo>
      <Description>Training room fit out</Description>      
   </JobCosting>
   <JobCostNo>003</JobCostNo>
    <Lines xmlns="JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaSales.SalesOrder.XML">
      <Line>
         <CostCenter>300</CostCenter>
         <Stage>030</Stage>         
      </Line>
      <Line>
         <CostCenter>400</CostCenter>
         <Stage>070</Stage>         
      </Line>
      <Line>
         <CostCenter>400</CostCenter>
         <Stage>080</Stage>         
      </Line>
   </Lines>
</JiwaDocument>

Ah ha!
So that gives me some clues.
Firstly, you're providing more tags than I was in the JobCosting section. I only had JobCostNo but you're supplying JobCostID and Description.
Some quick testing & it looks like the JobCostID is essential but not the description.

Secondly, the Type is simply "JobSalesOrder". I didn't know if I needed to supply the full JiwaFinancials.Jiwa blah blah....

Thirdly, I am getting an error Input string was no in a correct format. Module: ParseDouble.
Pretty sure it's on the lines so maybe CostCenter and Stage isn't enough. When I click OK to the error, no lines have been imported. I'll fiddle about and see what I find.

In the meantime, I can see in the

Code: Select all

ConsumeJobSalesOrderXML(SalesOrder xmlSalesOrder)

section of your code that it looks like the lines require not just CostCenter and Stage but also PriceExGst and PriceIncGst.

Anyway, thanks for the hints. That gives me some progress.

You'll run into DEV-8976 if you do supply PriceExGst and PriceIncGst. Look closer at the code and you'll is there is a bug there throwing an exception if you do supply either of those two values.

OK.
There's still something causing that error. I thought it might be an erroneous plugin but I have disabled all plugins.
I still get the error:


EDIT: I get the error whether there are lines in the XML file or not, so it's not the lines.
And it doesn't matter what value I have in InvoiceInitDate, it always displays on the new sales order as today. I just need the tag there but seems the value is irrelevant.

Maybe a sample file will help me to understand the cause for your ParseDouble error.

See my file attached.

Thanks.

That worked for me on my 7.2.5 DEV build - so I tried it on 7.2.1 and there is a bug which is causing this.

I've logged this for you as DEV-8978.

there is a bug

Any chance of a rush job on this one? Or a temporary plugin we can deploy until SR6 comes out? It's just that the client is anxious to have it resolved asap.
