How to enable a custom field on AR301000 after the ARInvoice is released?

Question

Some user fields were added to the ARInvoice entry screen (AR301000). The user fields exist in the Transactions grid. They are text fields only. There is no custom logic associa

Answer 1

Thankfully, the Transactions grid on the ARInvoces entry screen is never disabled by automation steps. All UI presentation logic for the Transactions grid is only defined within the ARInvoiceEntry BLC:

public class ARInvoiceEntry : ARDataEntryGraph<ARInvoiceEntry, ARInvoice>, PXImportAttribute.IPXPrepareItems
{
    ...
    protected virtual void ARInvoice_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
    {
        ARInvoice doc = e.Row as ARInvoice;
        if (doc == null) return;

        ...
        bool shouldDisable = doc.Released == true
                            || doc.Voided == true
                            || doc.DocType == ARDocType.SmallCreditWO
                            || doc.PendingPPD == true
                            || doc.DocType == ARDocType.FinCharge && !IsProcessingMode && cache.GetStatus(doc) == PXEntryStatus.Inserted;
        if (shouldDisable)
        {
            ...
            Transactions.Cache.AllowDelete = false;
            Transactions.Cache.AllowUpdate = false;
            Transactions.Cache.AllowInsert = false;
            ...
        }
        else
        {
            ...
            Transactions.Cache.AllowDelete = true;
            Transactions.Cache.AllowUpdate = true;
            Transactions.Cache.AllowInsert =
                doc.CustomerID != null &&
                doc.CustomerLocationID != null &&
                doc.DocType != ARDocType.FinCharge &&
                (doc.ProjectID != null || !PM.ProjectAttribute.IsPMVisible(this, BatchModule.AR));
            ...
        }
        ...
    }

    protected virtual void ARTran_RowSelected(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
    {
        ARTran row = e.Row as ARTran;
        if (row != null)
        {
            PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<ARTran.defScheduleID>(sender, row, row.TranType == ARInvoiceType.CreditMemo || row.TranType == ARInvoiceType.DebitMemo);
            PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<ARTran.deferredCode>(sender, row, row.DefScheduleID == null);
        }
    }
    ...
}

To enable a custom field on AR301000 after the ARInvoice is released, you should complete the following relatevely simple steps:

1. Set AllowUpdate to true for the ARTran cache within the ARInvoice_RowSelected event handler

2. Invoke the static PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled method to disable all ARTran fields, except the particular custom text field, the user wants to modify

The complete code snippet is listed below:

public class ARInvoiceEntryExt : PXGraphExtension<ARInvoiceEntry>
{
    private bool IsDisabled(ARInvoice doc)
    {
        return doc.Released == true
            || doc.Voided == true
            || doc.DocType == ARDocType.SmallCreditWO
            || doc.PendingPPD == true
            || doc.DocType == ARDocType.FinCharge 
            && !Base.IsProcessingMode 
            && Base.Document.Cache.GetStatus(doc) == PXEntryStatus.Inserted;
    }

    public void ARInvoice_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
    {
        ARInvoice doc = e.Row as ARInvoice;
        if (doc == null) return;

        if (IsDisabled(doc))
        {
            Base.Transactions.Cache.AllowUpdate = true;
        }
    }

    public void ARTran_RowSelected(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
    {
        var doc = Base.Document.Current;
        ARTran row = e.Row as ARTran;

        if (row != null && doc != null && IsDisabled(doc))
        {
            PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled(sender, row, false);
            PXUIFieldAttribute.SetEnabled<ARTranExt.usrCustomTextField>(sender, row, true);
        }
    }
}
