Cancelling Documents using DI API

[Former Member]

Good day,

I am developing a code where I have to cancel a documents using DI API SDK.

I see some documents using the method Cancel and ther others using the method

CreateCancellationDocument.

For Example:

The Sales Orders use the Method: ObjectOrder.Cancel()

The Invoices use the method: ObjectTarget = ObjectInvoice.CreateCancellationDocument()

The Question is, How do i know which documents use the method Cancel or

CreateCancellationDocument?

Thanks and Regard.

It is the same idea when you are using SAP as an user. You don`t need to create a document to cancel an Order, but in order to cancel an invoice, you need to create another document.

Thank you for your answer,

Is there any property that tells me which documents can only be done with the cancel method?

Hi david,

You will know when you should use each when you get more familiar with SAP
But as a rule of Thumb, most documents that has a journal entry posting will need to use the CreateCancellationDocument.
All of this documents will have a TransId Value in the table.

Try this,

     SAPbobsCOM.Documents oInvoice;
                            SAPbobsCOM.Documents oCancelI;
                            oInvoice = (SAPbobsCOM.Documents)_oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices);
                            oCancelI = (SAPbobsCOM.Documents)_oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices);
                            if (oInvoice.GetByKey(PK) == true)
                            {
                                oCancelI = oInvoice.CreateCancellationDocument();
                                res = oCancelI.Add();
                                if (res != 0)
                                {
                                    _oCompany.GetLastError(out error, out errorDes);
                                }                               
                            }

//Create a new Documents object

Documents doc = comp.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oDeliveryNotes);

//Get a the document by key which will be cancelled
doc.GetByKey(19);

//Create an object which represent to a new cancellation document based on doc
Documents cancelDoc = doc.CreateCancellationDocument();

//We can modify some values in the cancellation document
cancelDoc.DocDate = new DateTime(2012, 4, 8);

//Then we can add this cancellation document, and at the same time the status of the base document will be changed into ‘canceled’
cancelDoc.Add();

Not working for Invoice though.

On this code >> Documents cancelDoc = doc.CreateCancellationDocument(), cancelDoc result is NULL.

Really need a working solution on this, can't find any at this point.
