Timing when line is finished adding to set the OrderQty

[DannyC]

When a sales order line is added, some unique items need a particular QuantityOrdered when the line is added.

I have tried both events

Code: Select all

soForm.SalesOrder.SalesOrderLines.Added += Attkey_SOLineAdded;
soForm.SalesOrder.SalesOrderLineAdded += Attkey_SOLineAdded2;

but they set the QuantityOrdered to 1 even though I have the following code to set 3.

Code: Select all

int myQty = 3;
soLine.QuantityOrdered = myQty;

I'm suspecting that it might be a timing issue - like the line hasn't completely finished getting added to the grid & I am setting the value but then it gets overwritten with the system DefaultQuantity. What's the best way to force the QuantityOrdered as the line is getting added?

What does the actual sales order line have as the quantity?

You may find you need to call DisplayLine on the actual form.

What I am saying is firstly check that you event is firing then check what the object holds, it could simply be you need to refresh the display of the grid as both the line added and line changed events on the form do this.

We set the QuantityOrdered inside the AddInventoryItem method AFTER it is added to the collection - it is set to SystemSettings.DefaultQuantity.

You want to handle the AddInventoryItemEnd event of the SalesOrderLines instead. This event is raised at the very end of the AddInventoryItem method.

Beautiful. That did it. Thx again.
