Create A/R Invoice + Payment

Hi,

My customer is using a our POS (point of sale) system to made order and invoice (payment is done immediate). I want to import these transaction information to SAP B1. I will also use B1 to maintain my stock inventory and Journal entry. I think what I need is similar to the "A/R Invoice + Payment". Instead of creating these invoice with the B1 front-end, I would like to develop a console program in VB .NET (2008) with the B1 SDK.

I have reference the SDK help on invoice and try the following code.

'Create the Documents object

Dim vInvoice As SAPbobsCOM.Documents

vInvoice = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oInvoices)

'Set values to the fields

vInvoice.Series = 0

vInvoice.CardCode = "C99998"

vInvoice.HandWritten = BoYesNoEnum.tNO

vInvoice.PaymentGroupCode = "-1"

vInvoice.DocDate = Today

vInvoice.DocTotal = 5733

'Invoice Lines - Set values to the first line

vInvoice.Lines.ItemCode = "A00001"

vInvoice.Lines.ItemDescription = "IBM Infoprint 1312 喷墨打印机"

vInvoice.Lines.PriceAfterVAT = 4095

vInvoice.Lines.Quantity = 5

vInvoice.Lines.Currency = "RMB"

vInvoice.Lines.DiscountPercent = 0

'Invoice Lines - Set values to the second line

vInvoice.Lines.Add()

vInvoice.Lines.ItemCode = " A00002"

vInvoice.Lines.ItemDescription = "IBM Infoprint 1222 喷墨打印机"

vInvoice.Lines.PriceAfterVAT = 2047.5

vInvoice.Lines.Quantity = 5

vInvoice.Lines.Currency = "RMB"

vInvoice.Lines.DiscountPercent = 0

'Add the Invoice

lRetCode = vInvoice.Add

However, the vInvoice.Add always return below errors.

-2028 No matching records found (ODBC -2028)

Can you give me some advise?

Besides, I think I only need to create the invoice and payment objects so as to pretend as A/R Invoices + payment? I don't need to create an order object, isn't it?

I think it may be easier if I can load the invoice object from an XML file. Can I use the GetBusinessObjectFromXML method on invoice and payment object? Can you share with me some code samples?

Thank you very much!
