Using X++ and C# to create a Transfer Journal in Dynamics Ax 2012

Hello,

Today I'll write about a more tricky part of the process we find in Dynamics Ax.
Creating a transfer journal in Dynamics Ax 2012. This will move inventory over inventory dimensions.

Open your Visual Studio, create a new Console project and use this:

private void InventTransferJourTest()
{
            InventTransferJournal.CallContext callContext = new InventTransferJournal.CallContext();

            InventTransferJournal.TransferJournalServiceClient servClient = new InventTransferJournal.TransferJournalServiceClient();

            InventTransferJournal.AxdTransferJournal transjournal = new InventTransferJournal.AxdTransferJournal();

            InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventJournalTable journalheader = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventJournalTable();

            //Header
            callContext.Company = "CEU";
            journalheader.JournalNameId = "TransferJourId";
            journalheader.Description = "Transfer Journal";
            //End header

            //Lines
            InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventJournalTrans journalLines = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventJournalTrans();

            journalLines.ItemId = "123456";
            journalLines.Qty = 45;
            journalLines.TransDate = DateTime.Now;

            InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventDimIssue inventDimIssue = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventDimIssue();

            inventDimIssue.InventBatchId = "RUT";
            inventDimIssue.InventLocationId = "21";
            inventDimIssue.InventSiteId = "1";

            journalLines.InventDimIssue = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventDimIssue[1] { inventDimIssue };

            InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventDimReceipt inventDimReceipt = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventDimReceipt();

            inventDimReceipt.InventSiteId = "2";
            inventDimReceipt.InventLocationId = "11";
            inventDimReceipt.InventBatchId = "RSR";

            journalLines.InventDimReceipt = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventDimReceipt[1] { inventDimReceipt };
            //End Lines

            journalheader.InventJournalTrans = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventJournalTrans[1] { journalLines };

            transjournal.InventJournalTable = new InventTransferJournal.AxdEntity_InventJournalTable[1] {journalheader};

            try
            {
                servClient.create(callContext, transjournal);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(e.InnerException.ToString());
            }
}

This C# code will use our X++ code and create a new transfer journal.

That's all for today.

Thank you.
