Setting the currency for a price type extension field

[Former Member]

I need some help with the script required to set a contract extension field currency code to equal the Master Agreement currency.

//Fetch the currency

MACcy=MAbean.getCurrency();

logMsg.setLogMessage(CLM + "Document Currency is : " + MAbean.getCurrency().getDisplayName());

Logger.info(logMsg);

PriceIfc priceValue = doc.getExtensionField("PRC001").get();

contractValue = priceValue.getPrice();

curr = priceValue.getCurrency();

doc.getExtensionField("PRC001").setCurrency(MAbean.getCurrency()); //script fails at this point

Hi Michael,

I am assuming that your extension field PRC001 is of PriceIfc type.

The PriceIfc doesn't have a method called setCurrency(). Thats where you code is failing.

The only way you can set your extension field is by using a PriceIfc object. My suggestion is to create a new use PriceIfc object by using TypeFactory API. While creating this object you should pass the currency object reference as a parameter to the constructor. This should be the same one that you have got from the MAbean.getCurrency() method.

In short, have a look at the TypeFactory APIs and your problem will be solved

Thanks

Here is some coding I recently used to set the price value in an extension collection, just to show an example of what Devesh explained:

collIt = extCollection.iterator();
while(collIt.hasNext()) {
          ExtensionCollectionMemberIfc member = collIt.next();
          // first get value stored in a decimal field
          reduction = member.get("benefits_reduction");
          if(reduction != null) {
                    // take the decimal and the document currency to create a PriceIfc object
                    // and set it to the new field of type price
                    price = TypeFactory.createPrice(doc.getCurrency(), reduction);
                    member.set("benefits_red_curr", price);
          }
}

So basically don't try to set the currency on the existing price vale but create a new price value and set this.

Hi All ,

I have a requirement for changing the custom field currency on changing the project header currency . Only the currency of extension field needs to be changed but not the price.  I'm trying the below method but looks like not working

doc.getExtensionField("Z_TOOLING_VALUE").setCurrency (doc.getCurrency());

Can you please suggest ?

Thanks

Can you please try :

doc.getExtensionField("PRC001").set(MAbean.getCurrency());

or

doc.getFieldMetadata("PRC001").set(doc, MAbean.getCurrency());

Please check and reply if its working.

I tried both examples and both cause the script to fail on the

"PriceIfc priceValue = doc.getExtensionField("PRC001").get();" statement. I suspect the price portion of the field is being removed.

Script extract as follows.....>

doc.getFieldMetadata("PRC001").set(doc, MAbean.getCurrency());

//Fetch the currency

MACcy=MAbean.getCurrency();

logMsg.setLogMessage(CLM + "Document Currency is : " + MAbean.getCurrency().getDisplayName());

Logger.info(logMsg);

PriceIfc priceValue = doc.getExtensionField("PRC001").get();

contractValue = priceValue.getPrice();

curr = priceValue.getCurrency();

logMsg.setLogMessage(CLM + "Currency is : " + curr );

Logger.info(logMsg);

//If currency is other then USD then conversion is required

if (!curr.equalsIgnoreCase("USD")) {

Error in log is....>

PriceIfc priceValue = doc.getExtensionField("PRC001").get(); is wrong

try this way

LocalizedObjectReference priceValue=(LocalizedObjectReference)doc.getExtensionField("PRC001").get();

you can not assign type LocalizedObjectReference to PriceIfc.
