I have created sales orders in Great Plains, however, I cannot find them in the right place in the system. Although my code executes without any errors, I do not find this transaction under Sales > All Sales Transactions. Instead, I see them under Sales > Sales Documents.
Is it in a pending state?
public void CreateOrder()
{
CompanyKey companyKey;
Context context;
SalesOrder salesOrder;
SalesDocumentTypeKey salesOrderType;
CustomerKey customerKey;
BatchKey batchKey;
SalesOrderLine salesOrderLine;
ItemKey orderedItem;
Quantity orderedAmount;
Policy salesOrderCreatePolicy;
// Create a context with which to call the service
context = new Context();
// Specify which company to use (sample company)
companyKey = new CompanyKey();
companyKey.Id = (-1);
// Set up the context object
context.OrganizationKey = (OrganizationKey)companyKey;
// Create a sales order object
salesOrder = new SalesOrder();
// Create a sales document type key for the sales order
salesOrderType = new SalesDocumentTypeKey();
salesOrderType.Type = SalesDocumentType.Order;
// Populate the document type key of the sales order object
salesOrder.DocumentTypeKey = salesOrderType;
// Create a customer key
customerKey = new CustomerKey();
customerKey.Id = "JONESJ008";
// Set the customer key property of the sales order object
salesOrder.CustomerKey = customerKey;
// Create a batch key
batchKey = new BatchKey();
batchKey.Id = "SALES ORDERS";
// Set the batch key property of the sales order object
salesOrder.BatchKey = batchKey;
// Create a sales order line to specify the ordered item
salesOrderLine = new SalesOrderLine();
// Create an item key
orderedItem = new ItemKey();
orderedItem.Id = "32X IDE";
// Set the item key property of the sales order line object
salesOrderLine.ItemKey = orderedItem;
// Create a sales order quantity object
orderedAmount = new Quantity();
orderedAmount.Value = 4;
// Set the quantity of the sales order line object
salesOrderLine.Quantity = orderedAmount;
// Create an array of sales order lines
// Initialize the array with sales order line object
SalesOrderLine[] orders = { salesOrderLine };
// Add the sales order line array to the sales order
salesOrder.Lines = orders;
// Get the create policy for the sales order object
salesOrderCreatePolicy = wsDynamicsGP.GetPolicyByOperation("CreateSalesOrder", context);
// Create the sales order
wsDynamicsGP.CreateSalesOrder(salesOrder, context, salesOrderCreatePolicy);
}
I have looked in Sales > All Sales Transactions. I can use the API to pull this order out. I am using the sample company file, Fabrikam, Inc. Here's how I set up my context:
public GPOrders()
{
wsDynamicsGP = new DynamicsGP();
// Be sure the default credentials are used
wsDynamicsGP.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
// Create a context with which to call the web service
context = new Context();
// Specify which company to use (sample company)
companyKey = new CompanyKey();
companyKey.Id = (-1);
// Set up the context object
context.OrganizationKey = (OrganizationKey)companyKey;
context.CultureName = "en-US";
}
