I am using the user exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE to check some positions in a delivery for some specific criteria.
I just want to do this whenever PGI is triggered. For this I use this condition in the user-exit:
IF ( sy-tcode EQ 'VL01N' OR
sy-tcode EQ 'VL02N' ) AND
sy-ucomm EQ 'WABU_T'.
But now I am afraid that this is not enough for cases like:
booking the exit directly from vl02n (without checking the positions)
book the exit via "Edit --> Post Good Issue"
editing the positions and book
Are there some further options which can be checked to make sure that there is a booking?
How can I make completely sure that a post of goods was triggered in fact?
You can try to utilize Workflow to cover all possible cases.
Create Workflow event which will be triggered upon delivery creation/change and check for Post Goods Issue there. Delivery BO is LIKP so go to tcode SWU_EWCD and enter data like this
Workflow events are based on change documents so every times smth is written to the table it will be fired. Check that your event is properly created in SWEC transaction.
You can also create events based on NACE conditions. After that use your event to generate your own workflow.
Also BAdI LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC may be of interest for you, it has method
SAVE_AND_PUBLISH_BEFORE_OUTPUT which is executed before saving of delivery.
You have to check value in T180-TRTYP. If value is 'H' then it is create booking otherwise it is change booking.It is better to remove transaction code and sy-ucomm condition and condition for T180-TRTYP.

I'm building a PowerApps app on Azure SQL
The requirement
I have a form which has "Save" and "Confirm" buttons.
Both buttons should save the form data. The Commit button should also set database column "Confirm" to 1
I've read at length about how I can programatically override the update value of a hidden control for this. But I'm not satisfied with the level of complexity (maintenance) required to get this working, i.e.
Populate a variable with the current db value
In the button code set the variable value
In the form field, set the update property to the variable
What I'm Trying
So I'm trying a different approach: SubmitForm then Patch. Even though this requires an extra database call, I'd like to understand if this will work. This is the code for OnSelect in the commit button:
// Save the record
SubmitForm(frmEdit);
// Update confirmed to 1
Patch('[dbo].[Comments]',cRecord,{Confirmed:1});
Some Complexities
Note that my record is a variable, cRecord. In short I want this app to be able to upsert based on URL parameters.
This is my App.OnStart which captures URL values, inserts a record if required. Regardless, the result of this event is that cRecord is set to the record to be edited.
// Cache employees and store lookups (as they are in a different db)
Concurrent(Collect(cEmployees, Filter('[dbo].[SalesPerson]', Status = "A")),Collect(cStores, '[dbo].[Store]'));
// Check for parameters in the URL. If found, set to Edit/Add mode
Set(bURLRecord,If((!IsBlank(Param("PersonId")) && !IsBlank(Param("Date"))),true,false));
// If URL Parameters were passed, create the record if it doesn't exist
If(bURLRecord,
Set(pPersonId,Value(Param("PersonId")));
Set(pDate,DateValue(Param("Date")));
// Try and find the record
Set(cRecord,LookUp('[dbo].[Comments]',SalesPersonId=pPersonId && TransactionDate = pDate));
If(IsBlank(cRecord),
// If the record doesn't exist, create it with Patch and capture the resulting record
Set(cRecord,Patch('[dbo].[Comments]',Defaults('[dbo].[Comments]'),{SalesPersonId:pPersonId,TransactionDate:pDate}))
);
// Navigate to the data entry screen. This screen uses cRecord as its item
Navigate(scrEdit);
)
frmEdit.Item is set to cRecord. As an aside I also have a gallery that sets this variable value when clicked so we can also navigate here from a gallery.
The navigating using new and existing URL parameters works. Navigating from the gallery works.
The problem
When I press the Commit button against a record which has Confirmed=0 I get this popup error:
The data returned by the service is invalid
When I run this code against a record which already has Confirmed=1 I don't get an error
If I run the PowerApps monitor it doesn't show any errors but it does show some counts being run after the update. I can paste it here if required.
I also tried wrapping the Path in a Set in case it's result was confusing the button event but it didn't make a difference.
What I want
So can anyone offer me any of the following info:
How can I get more info about "The data returned by the service is invalid"?
How can I get this to run without erroring?
Is there a simpler way to do the initial upsert? I was hoping a function called Patch could upsert in one call but it seems it can't
With regards to the setting field beforehand approach, I'm happy to try this again but I had some issues implementing it - understanding which control where to edit.
Any assistance appreciated.
Edit
As per recommendations in the answer, I moved the patch code into OnSuccess
If(Confirmed=1,Patch('[dbo].[CoachingComments]',cRecord,{Confirmed:1}));
But now I get the same error there. Worse I cleared out OnSucces and just put SubmitForm(frmEdit); into the OnSelect event and it is saving data but still saying
The data returned by the service was invalid
First things first,
Refactoring has multiple steps,
I can t type all out at once...
The submitform and patch issue:
Never use the submitforn with extra conplexity
Submitform is only the trigger to send the form out,
The form handler will work with your data...
If you hsven t filled out the form correctly, u don t want to trigger your patch action...
So:
On your form, you have an OnSucces property,
Place your patch code there...
Change your cRecord in your patch statement:
YourForm.LastSubmit
I went through the Merge Tags here and here, but couldn't figure out the syntax that would allow me to show content based on whether the user has certain Tag or not.
Help?
My goal in case it helps:
User subscribes, and is queued for a welcome mail one day later. In meantime that user may get tagged (my way of segmenting them), and so, the next day when that user receives the welcome mail, the content needs to be catered based on the tag that user got.
Got a response from their support saying
merge tags do not work with Tags just yet
here's the whole thing:
While we do have conditional merge tags available, I'm afraid we do
not have any that would work with Tags. To be transparent, Tags were
recently added a few months ago, and there are some features in our
application that has not updated to work with Tags just yet.
Because conditional merge tags do not work with tags yet, the best
option would be to create multiple automations and send them out based
on each tags. If you do it that way, you'll be able to target those in
specific tags with specific content
Dug a little deeper from the first link. There is another link Use Conditional Merge Tag Blocks which contained the below code:
Name
IF-ELSE
Definition
Use ELSE to indicate alternative content to display if the *|MERGE|* tag value is false.
Example
*|IF:MERGE|* content to display *|ELSE:|* alternative content to display *|END:IF|*
Name
ELSEIF
Definition
Use ELSEIF to specify a new *|MERGE|* tag to be matched against if the first *|MERGE|* tag value is false.
Example
*|IF:TRANSACTIONS >= 20|* Enjoy this 40% off coupon! *|COUPON40|*
*|ELSEIF:TRANSACTIONS >= 10|* Enjoy this 20% off coupon! *|COUPON20|*
*|ELSE:|* Enjoy this 10% off coupon! *|COUPON10|* *|END:IF|*
More examples with definitions can be found here.
Hope this is the answer you were after.
I am working on WIT Chat Bot... i have a story, in that i am asking for the quick replies Yes or No. if user press Yes or No. I have to make another call on WIT with context. So how can i set quick replies into context. how to handle quick replies.
i have tried for another contexts i am updating context like below..
context.getContext().remove("reasons_cancellation");
context.getContext().put("cancelbutton_pressed", true);
but i am not sure with quick reply keys and possible values
If I understand you correctly, you are looking to handle yes_no entity of quick replies feature in wit.ai.
In case of handling quick replies like yes/no, you would need to add 'Yes' and 'No' as quick replies to very latest 'bot says' statement.
After that, you need to have Yes & No as User's next response statement. Note, Yes & No would need to be shown as branch. In user response of yes/no, use yes_no entities with value of yes or no in respective branches.
Once this is specified, specify an action with a name. yes_no entity will be passed to the action. In your action implementation (your server side logic), you need to retrieve value of yes_no entity, use it and assign the value in context when needed.
Hope this helps.
I'd like to force the user to chose between Yes and No, and not let him add an entry where the value is initial.
This is regardless of whether I check the Initial checkbox in the table definition.
Can this be done?
Domain data type : CHAR, 1 character, no conversion routine.
Value range: single values:
'1' description = 'Yes'
'2' description = 'No'
By far the easiest way is to use a data element in the table that only allows non-initial values.
If you can't change the data element, you can try using table maintenance events in the table maintenance generator:
You may be able to use event 1 (Before save) or event 5 to build a manual check, but 5 does not kick off on change.
If that doesn't work, you can still manually add a check in the PAI of the screen, however you run the risk that if someone regenerates the maintenance scree, they will forget/not know to put the check back in.
You can set the compare flag:
But from what I've seen the flag doesn't actually force you to redo any of the changes, and is still pretty easy to miss.
You can edit the screen and set the field to mandatory. Be aware that you will loose the change if the screen is re-generated.
You can do that with that steps:
in SE11 choose the Utilities menu -> Table Maintenance Generator
in the Table Maintenance Generator go to menu Environment -> Modification -> Maintenance Screens, then select the screen (usually is 0001), in the Element List Tab you find the Special attr, in the field Input, you choose Required for the field you want obligatory.
Thanks.

FYI to start, I am aware of how to properly set up an update to a lookup, and am 99% positive I've done this correctly.
I know this because When I set the workflow to automatically start when an Item is Changed, then it works perfectly. But when I simply change this setting so it will automatically start on New Item Creation, it Cancels the workflow and I get a "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type." If both options are checked then it fails on creation, but simply clicking edit on the item properties, and the "Save" makes it work.
The workflow is on a Document Library and works as follows;
User selects the Work Task LookUp from a dropdown in the edit properties form after uploading, and then Saves the item (adding it to the document library). The workflow is suppose to then look at the Work Task LookUp selected, and pull the Account and Effective Date-Type lookUp ID's that Work Task item has, and sets the Document's identical fields to the same value.
Here is the code for the workflow if it helps;
If Current Item: Parent Task is not empty
If Current Item: Sub Task is not empty
Log Both are empty to workflow history list
Then Set Account to Work Tasks:Account
The Log Set Account to workflow history list
Then Set Effective Date and Type to WorkTasks: Effective Date and Type
The Log Set EffDateType to the workflow history list
This is all done in one step. I also added additional steps to test if the account and effective date type fields have been set properly, and if not to set them again. But everytime I run the workflow on change and it works, it always correctly sets these fields based upon the first Step (posted above) and the additional check logs to the history that they are not needed.
As an example, The lookUp for Integer for Tasks:Account is set to work as follows;
Date Source: Work Tasks (a list)
Field from Source: Account (a lookup)
Return Field as: Lookup ID (as Integer)
Find the List Item
Field: Title (from the Work Tasks list)
Value: Current Item: Parent Task (Which is a look up of the "Title"
Field from Work Tasks List, and is set to return the Value as a LookUp Value (As Text))
The Effective Date and Type setting is pretty much identical.
So anyone have any insight? I've tried running it as an impersonated Step, setting a workflow pause (for 1 minute), changing the lookup types incase I messed it up to start with, but ultimately the above workflow DOES work, but only when I set it to "Automatically start on the Change (edit) of an Item", NOT "Automatically start on New Item Creation" like I need to to do.
Oh yes, fyi, I am using SPServices CascadingDropDown on the Work Task and Sub Task fields of the doc Library form, but I honestly do not believe this has anything to do with my issue.
UPDATE:
I've talked with another developer, and he believes it is due to the issue that the workflow is occuring too quickly, before the item creates an ID for itself, which it needs to conduct the lookUps. He had me add another "Pause Workflow" to the very top of my workflow code (above the If conditions) and set it for 1 minute.
It then worked properly.
Downside is we want this to labeling to occur as close to item creation as possible. Because a view of the library relies on grouping based upon Account and Effective Date and Type. To add to this downer, Microsoft's Pause Workflow only allows for 1 minute or more, and then the timer used for this is often off, resulting in a pause longer than that. So far, every test is currently showing 2 minutes minimum on the pause.
A possible alternative solution for instantaniously populate the fileds is to use Javascript and SPServices to do the lookUp to the Task list to pull the account and effective date - type fields and then populate, but my Javascript is not very strong and I would need help doing this. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them.
(Answered in a question edit. Converted to a community wiki answer. See Question with no answers, but issue solved in the comments (or extended in chat) )
The OP wrote:
I don't know if it is the ID for the item after further testing. I changed the start of the workflow to wait until a field in the item changes. I set it to wait until the ID field is not 0 (since you cannot set to null), and it still does not work.
6/14/2012 4:13 PM Comment System Account Waiting on ID
6/14/2012 4:13 PM Comment System Account Waiting complete on ID
6/14/2012 4:13 PM Error System Account Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.
I have tried other fields as well, like document ID value is not empty, and it will wait, log it finishing the wait, and then fail.
UPDATE This issue has something to do with the Parent Task field. I have solved the issue without having to wait for a period of time by setting the change from above to wait until the Parent Task field is not empty. It then completes the workflow fine.
Anyone know why there is a delay though? I've solved it, but still don't fully understand what takes it so long.
The main fault has been solved (hence the answer), and the remaining point about the reasons for the delay would probably be a discussion point or not specific enough for SO. Any further clarification can be edited in here.
