We may come across mandate particular financial dimension on
particular form.
Here is the process to mandate Department dimension for
customers.
Am using event handlers introduced in AX 2012 to achieve
this.
Go through the below link to understand better on Event handlers.
1. Create a new Class with the name ‘CustTableEventHandler’
2.
Create a new Pre-or post-event handler method as
shown below
3.
Rename newly created method as ‘custValidateWrite’
and write logic as shown below.
public static
void
custValidateWrite(XppPrePostArgs _args)
{
DimensionAttribute
dimAttr;
DimensionAttributeValue
dimAttrValue;
DimensionAttributeValueSetItem
dimAttrValueSetItem;
CustTable
custTable;
RefRecId
defaultDimension;
boolean ret;
;
custTable = _args.getThis();
ret = _args.getReturnValue();
defaultDimension = custTable.DefaultDimension;
dimAttr = DimensionAttribute::findByName('Department');
select firstonly
RecId, DisplayValue from
dimAttrValueSetItem
where
dimAttrValueSetItem.DimensionAttributeValueSet == defaultDimension
join dimAttrValue
where dimAttrValue.RecId ==
dimAttrValueSetItem.DimensionAttributeValue &&
dimAttrValue.DimensionAttribute == dimAttr.RecId &&
dimAttrValue.IsDeleted == false;
if (!dimAttrValueSetItem.DisplayValue)
{
ret = checkFailed("Department must be specified.");
}
}
4.
Go to ‘validateWrite’ method of CustTable then
right click & select New event handler subscription as shown below.
5.
Go to the properties of newly created event
handler method & set the properties as shown below.
6.
Now try to create new customer without
department then it throws a message saying that ‘Department must be specified.’
