  • 1.  Need the tracking number in ALE

    Posted 08-23-2019 16:42
    The AR_InvoiceHistoryTracking isn't included in the custom ALE table selections for AR Invoice History.  Can it be added? Or, should I set up a UDF in AR Invoice History Header to hold the values and add the UDF to ALE?

    Probably because there are multiple packages per invoice. You might be able to capture Pkg 1.

    Bob is right, ALE's do not handle "one to many" relationships between table links. There also doesn't appear to be any ALEs defined for AR_InvoiceHistoryTracking table so no inquiry tasks exist to try to piggy back on.
    What is the goal?
    Can they use BIE?
    If yes, there already is a "Package Tracking" preview that can be selected from the "Customer History Invoices" view.
    If not, then one possible solution would be to create a UDF long enough to handle the highest anticipated number of tracking numbers that might occur on a single invoice and use a pre-write event script to join all the tracking numbers into a delimited string and set that into the UDF. Push it through to AR History and you can then add the UDF to the ALE and use the "Contains" operand to locate invoices by the tracking numbers.
