Populate a labor dataset

[Joel_Bailie (Joel Ray Bailie)]

I need to create a Time and Expense entry via customization. I want to first populate a labor dataset. I have the following…

using (var svc = WCFServiceSupport.CreateImpl<Erp.Proxy.BO.LaborImpl>(session, Epicor.ServiceModel.Channels.ImplBase<Erp.Contracts.LaborSvcContract>.UriPath))

Your trace should be setup as shown [image] I know we (most of us) normally say “Track Changes Only” but this is big bold lie, it shows us what has changed in the data-set (even stuff we haven’t manually changed).
