How to use LedgerJournalEngine by code ?

[anders_riis]

Hi,

I need to create an Invoice-register journal by code and need to use the
class LedgerJournalEngine.
Do you know how I can use this class by code and without a FormRun (and
datasource) ? I have seen some examples with ledgerJournalEngine =
LedgerJournalEngine::newBatch(null); but I haven't been able to get this to
work.

I'm working on an Axapta 3.0 SP2

Hi Anders,

Check out this MSDN link:

Also check out this blog:

What I would do is write a custom class to build your Ledger Journal
transactions and then write another class that extends runbasebatch (to call
your custom class on a batch)

I hope this helps somewhat.

My problem is not to post the journal. I need to create the lines and want to
be 100% sure that all fields are set correct. If you look at the form
"LedgerJournalTransInvoiceRegister" you can see in the datasource
"LedgerJournalTrans" that when the field AccountNum is changed the method
modified is called. In this method
"ledgerJournalEngine.accountModified(ledgerJournalTrans);" is called. Many of
the fields in this form is handled by ledgerJournalEngine, and I want my code
to do the same when I am creating my ledgerJournalTrans by code.

Therefore I need to use the class LedgerJournalEngine and need an example
that works, so I can see how I can use it without a form.

Hi Anders,

Have you checked out the class AxLedgerJournalTrans_VendInvoiceRegister
already? This class allows you to create the necessary journal lines,
without a form. (Use it with class AxLedgerJournalTable)
All necessary parameters can be set by code. Posting can be done after the
journal is created. Ax creates the ledger voucher for you, thereby respecting
all business logic.

Hope it helps,

Look at the base classes:
JournalTableData
JournalTransData

These are working for inventory transactions as well. This is the preferred
way on creating journals via code.
