Display inventory dimensions dynamically in D365

The table must have the field InventDimId and it must have a relation with InventDim. Image 2. Create a new Form. My form has two data sources, InventDimDisplay and InventDim (required) and a grid. Image 3. Set the InventDim data source properties to: Image REPORT THIS AD 4. On form Design, create a new Grid and move the ItemId to your grid and then create a new Group and then set the properties below: Image 5. On class declaration add the following piece of code: 1 2 3 4 5 public class FormRun extends ObjectRun { // Declare the class InventDimCtrl_Frm_EditDimensions InventDimCtrl_Frm_EditDimensions inventDimFormSetup; } 6. Now, create a new method in form. 1 2 3 4 public InventDimCtrl_Frm_EditDimensions inventDimSetupObject() { return inventDimFormSetup; } 7. Override the form’s method Init. 1 2 3 4 5 6 public void init() { super(); // This method will be used to show default fields at form startup element.updateDesign(InventDimFormDesignUpdate::Init); } 8. Create a new method, this method is responsible to show the Inventory Controls. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 void updateDesign(InventDimFormDesignUpdate mode) { InventDimParm inventDimParmVisible; switch (mode) { // Form Init case InventDimFormDesignUpdate::Init : if (!inventDimFormSetup) inventDimFormSetup = InventDimCtrl_Frm_EditDimensions::newFromForm(element); inventDimFormSetup.parmSkipOnHandLookUp( true); // Use the methods on InventDimParm // to set which dimensions to show when form is initialized inventdimparmvisible.inventsiteidflag = true; inventdimparmvisible.InventLocationIdFlag = true; inventDimFormSetup.parmDimParmVisibleGrid(inventDimParmVisible); // Datasource Active case InventDimFormDesignUpdate::Active : inventDimFormSetup.formActiveSetup(InventDimGroupSetup::newItemId(InventDimDisplay.ItemId)); //InventDimDisplay is the datasource name. inventDimFormSetup.formSetControls( true); break; // Datasource Field change case InventDimFormDesignUpdate::FieldChange : inventDimFormSetup.formActiveSetup(InventDimGroupSetup::newItemId(InventDimDisplay.ItemId)); //InventDimDisplay is the datasource name. InventDim.clearNotSelectedDim(inventDimFormSetup.parmDimParmEnabled()); // InventDim is referring to datasource name inventDimFormSetup.formSetControls( true); break; default : throw error(strFmt ("@SYS54195", funcName())); } } 9. We have to create a method on data source to update our table InventDimId and use the method Active to refresh the controls. Override Data source’s method Active. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 public int active() { int ret; ret = super(); element.updateDesign(InventDimFormDesignUpdate::Active); return ret; } 10. Now, override the method Modified for ItemId field in your data source. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 public void modified() { super(); element.updateDesign(InventDimFormDesignUpdate::FieldChange); InventDim.clearNotSelectedDim(element.inventDimSetupObject().parmDimParmEnabled()); } 11. We have to create a MenuItemButton to call the Display Dimension form where the user can select which dimensions he want to display. Set the following properties: MenuItemType: Display MenuItemName: InventDimParmFixed 12. By the end of this tutorial, your form should look like this. Image 13. The results: Image
