Posting purchase invoices to sage from VB.Net

[Jimothy666]

Hey all

I was just wondering if anyone could help? I'm having a problem with posting to sage from a VB.net application. I'm setting the header details as "Header Detail" but when I then run through my purchase order invoice lines and set them to say "Line 1 - XXX" and "Line 2 - XXX" it is overwriting the header detail with "Line 1 - XXX, Line 2 - XXX, Line 3 - XXX" etc.

Just wondered if anyone had this problem before and if they have managed to solve it.

I've tried resetting the Header("DETAILS").Value again just before I run the update function...but it just overwrites it again.

Thanks for all help given in advanced :0)

You set the individual item line details as follows:

oSplitData.Fields.Item("DETAILS").Value = CStr("Split Details")

When you say the details field on the header is being overwritten, where are you seeing this?

As an aside, Sage do have a forum specifically for members of their Developers Programme here: http://developerforum.sage.co.uk/index.php

Thanks for your reply, this is causing me no end of frustration.

I set the header details as follows:

oTransactionPostCr.Header("DETAILS").Value = "Header Detail"

then later as I loop through my order invoice lines I do

oSplitData.Fields.Item("DETAILS").Value = LineNumber & "- LineDescription"

But then in Sage it says "1 - LineDescription, 2 - LineDescription, 3- LineDescription" against the header description (the top pain under details on the customer activity screen)

I've even tried setting the oTransactionPostCr.Header("DETAILS").Value AFTER I have added all my splits, but it still just does the same

Thanks again

Just got off the phone to Sage Developer support (found out we had an account)

They've told me that it is a know UI problem with the VB.Net SDO, and all I can do is only post 1 split....which is not good when we want details invoice postings....

Ahh happy days!

Thanks anyways

Just to confirm, you are saying that all the split descriptions are being put together in one long string to form the Header details?

Yes that's it exactly. Sage said they've had this problem before and the guy I spoke to went away and came back a couple of minutes later and then told me it was a known UI (I guess he meant SDK) problem. No plans to fix it anytime soon

Thanks

This is a UI issue with the program itself, it is not an SDO issue. If you post a transaction in Sage itself with multiple splits, you get the same result...
