Creating and starting a production order using X++ on Dynamics AX 2012

01	static void _CreateProductionOrder(Args _args)
02	{
03	ProdQty qty = 100;
04	ItemId item = 'youritemid';
05
06	ProdTable prodtable;
07	InventTable inventTable;
08	InventDim inventDim;
09	;
10
11	// Initialize InventTable using the item
12	inventTable = inventTable::find(youritemid);
13
14	// Initialize the base values using the previous initialized inventtable.
15	prodtable.initValue();
16	prodtable.initFromInventTable(inventTable);
17
18	prodtable.ItemId = inventTable.ItemId;
19	prodtable.DlvDate = today();
20	prodtable.QtySched = qty;
21	prodtable.RemainInventPhysical = qty;
22
23	// Initialize InventDim, using again the inventtable (Obrigatory)
24	inventDim.initFromInventTable(inventTable);
25
26	// Set the active BOM and Route, this in order to create the correspondind BOM lines and coproducts. Also to asign resources
27	prodtable.BOMId = BOMVersion::findActive(prodtable.ItemId,
28	prodtable.BOMDate,
29	prodtable.QtySched,
30	inventDim).BOMId;
31
32	prodtable.RouteId = RouteVersion::findActive(prodtable.ItemId,
33	prodtable.BOMDate,
34	prodtable.QtySched,
35	inventDim).RouteId;
36
37	// Initialize the BOMVersion
38	prodtable.initBOMVersion();
39	// Initialize RouteVersion
40	prodtable.initRouteVersion();
41
42	//Use ProdTableType class to create the production order
43	prodtable.type().insert();
44

46	} The code is fairly simple, it starts with the inventTable, and from there it searches for the BOM version and the route for the production order using the prodtable and the InventDim, with all set we just have to use the type().insert() method so the required InventTrans transactions are also created. Next let’s see how to start the production order, this is fairly simple too, we will use the following code:  X++ |   copy code | ?   1 void startProdOrder(args _args) 2 { 3 ProdTable _prodTable; 4   5 _prodTable = ProdTable::find(YOURPRODUCTIONORDER); 6 _prodTable.autoUpdate(ProdStatus::StartedUp); 7 } So first we initialize the production order, next we call the autoUpdate method, and we set the status we want, just take note that even if you can send any enum value as a parameter it won’t work if the order is beyond started. Hope you like it!
