Expression Builder Lookup using X++

I was just wondering if there is any way of popping a lookup form during the program execution.
We have seen many ways of creating lookups – EDT’s, relations, AutoLookup and through custom code [SysTableLookup]
Let us consider an example: I have a select query whose behaviour should be dynamic based on the User input. We might have used query Framework classes many a times to do this.
I was just going through the standard classes and found this code useful with minimum tweaking of code.
Try out the below example: This example will help you to select the custAccount and based on the selected customer account it brings you the last invoiced sales order.
Note: The columns in the form are built runtime using the AutoLookup fields.
static void SR_expressionBuilderLookUp(Args _args)
{
CustTable custTable;
ExtendedDataTypeName extendedDataType = extendedtypestr(custAccount);
CustAccount custAccount;
Object expressionBuilderLookup;
Args args = new Args(formstr(SysExpressionBuilderLookup));
;
expressionBuilderLookup = new FormRun(args);
expressionBuilderLookup.parmExtendedDataType(extendedDataType);
expressionBuilderLookup.init();
expressionBuilderLookup.run();
expressionBuilderLookup.wait();
custAccount = expressionBuilderLookup.parmSelectedValue();
if(custAccount)
{
info(strfmt(‘Last SO of customer %1 is %2′, custAccount, CustTable::find(custAccount).lastInvoice().SalesId));
}
}
Below is the lookup image for your reference

What does this mean: "The form datasource query object does not support changing its AllowCrossCompany property after the form has executed the query."?

I have made a form with datasources vendtable and vendtrans. Inside vendtable_ds.executequery() looks like this: QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDatasource ,queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice; ; queryBuildDatasource = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtable)); queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtrans)); if (curext() == "MASTERCOMP") { this.query().allowCrossCompany(true); } else { this.query().allowCrossCompany(false); } //FilterVendorName = stringedit control on form if (FilterVendorName.text()) { queryBuildDatasource.addRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)).value(strfmt("*%1*", FilterVendorName.text())); } else { queryBuildDatasource.clearRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)); } //FilterInvoiceNumber = stringedit control on form if (FilterInvoiceNumber.valueStr() == "") { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(false); } else { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(true); queryBDS_VendTrans_In...

calculate total sales order or sales quotation amount / discounts / tax etc., through code( X++ ) in AX

this can be achieved through code using SalesTotals class. Check out the below code snippet. SalesTotals   salesTotals; SalesTable   salesTable; container   displayFields; str     totalTax, amountWithoutTax, amountInclTax; salesTable = salesTable::find('SO-1112345'); salesTotals = SalesTotals::construct(salesTable, salesUpdate::All); salesTotals.calc(); displayFields = salesTotals.displayFieldsCurrency( salesTotals.currencyCode() ); amountWithoutTax = conpeek(displayFields, TradeTotals ::posBalance()); amountInclTax   = conpeek(displayFields, TradeTotals::posTotalAmount()); totalTax    = conpeek(displayFields,TradeTotals::posTaxTotal()); In the above way, we can get all the values available in the totals form in the Sales Order Form by changing the TradeTotals values. We can get the values in the desired currency by providing a valid currency as a parameter to the displayFieldsCurr...
