Customization Button

Epicor ERP 10
1

I have created a button on the the Maintenance Request Entry. When the user clicks this it should populate their name. Evidently I am calling the wrong thing and this is not my strong point. There error doesn’t like ‘session’.

You need to add this to your usings if not there already

using Ice.Core;

Then to get the current user id it would be this

edvMaintReq.dataView[edvMaintReq.Row]["ShortChar02"] = ((Session)oTrans.Session).UserID;

Thanks I forgot about the Ice.Core.

When I tested the code it said it complied successfully. But when I launch the customization I get and Object reference not set to and instance of an object. I can click ok past it but when I click on the submit button the error pops up…

Where is edvMaintReq getting instantiated? Can you include the entire customization code?

Is this what you are looking for?

I would check the name of the EpiDataView as it might not be “MaintReq”. I don’t have the Maint module to check.

edvMaintReq = (EpiDataView)oTrans.EpiDataViews["MaintReq"];

edvMaintReq.dataView[edvMaintReq.Row]["ShortChar02"]=(Ice.Core.Session)oTrans.Session.EmployeeID.ToString();
//or for the user name:
edvMaintReq.dataView[edvMaintReq.Row]["ShortChar02"]=(Ice.Core.Session)oTrans.Session.UserName.ToString();

That is if using E10…which your tag in the title indicates…

But I went into my maintenance request module and here is how it was declared using the wizard:


private EpiDataView edvMaintReqView;


this.edvMaintReqView = ((EpiDataView)(this.oTrans.EpiDataViews["MaintReqView"]));

Did you use a wizard to create your code ?

yes, I did.

But as I was working on this this found out that this will not work for what they need…so back to basic.

Another way could be by using a data directive, when a new record in MaintReq is created, save the current user into your ud field. as the creator or the request.
