Populating Custom Fields On Transactions
We are trying to populate custom fields on transactions via webservices
Testing on a Purchase Order: The PO gets created successfully, and no errors are returned from webservices, but the fields through the UI do not show the data that was pushed.
C# Snippet:
po.entity = vendor; po.customFieldList = new CustomFieldRef[1]; var trxCustomFieldRef = new StringCustomFieldRef(); trxCustomFieldRef.internalId = "custbody12"; trxCustomFieldRef.value = "PO256"; po.customFieldList[0] = trxCustomFieldRef; po.orderStatus = PurchaseOrderOrderStatus._pendingReceipt; po.orderStatusSpecified = true; po.memo = rsPo.externalComents; po.location = location; if (subsidiary != null) { po.subsidiary = subsidiary; _rsLog.log("po.subsidiary" + po.subsidiary); } PurchaseOrderItemList list = new PurchaseOrderItemList(); list.item = new PurchaseOrderItem[rsPo.detailLines.Count]; po.itemList = list; int detailIndex = 0; foreach (RSOrderDetail rsDetail in rsPo.detailLines) { var references = ItemType.GetRecordRefs(SearchUtilities.GetItemRecord(rsDetail, _service, _rsLog)); var itemLocationDetail = SearchUtilities.GetLocation(rsDetail, _service, _rsLog); _rsLog.log("rsDetail.uom: '" + rsDetail.uom + "'"); _rsLog.log("rsDetail.purchaseUOM: '" + rsDetail.purchaseUOM + "'"); var poItem = new PurchaseOrderItem(); poItem.item = references.ItemRef; poItem.quantity 0
