Accessing Number Sequences from x++

Posted on by smore

I have seen multiple examples like:

SalesParameters::numRefSalesId()
CustParameters::numRefCustAccount()
HrmParameters::numRefJournalNum()

But how can I convert a name in the UI into x++ ?

What is the Parameter for <Tes_100 ?

What is the Parameter for <Tes_105 ?

I have the same question (0)

Hi Smore,

Do you want to understand how number sequence <Tes_100 or <Tes_105 used in the system?

It depends on how you set up your parameters. If you have set up SalesParameters in a way that <Tes_105 is used as Sales order number, then SalesParameters::numRefSalesId() would return that sequence.

If you haven't used this sequence in any parameters, you of course can't get it via any parameter.

So, in Number sequences form you define the number sequences. In the parameters forms you define what number sequence is used for specific purpose, such as Sales order number.

Is it now clear?

Not 100%.

Here is the Sales parameters UI:

I don't see numRefSalesId in the UI....

How do I match up the Reference in the UI "Relation journal ID" into an x++ numRefXXXX ?

You are looking at Sales and Marketing parameters but actually SalesParameters table is Accounts Receivable parameters in the UI.

How is one supposed to know that ?

I am really trying to figure out the "Project budget ID". By learning how all these things connect I was hoping the find the correct answer myself.

And how to match these things, look at NumberSeqModule* classes. In LoadModule you see the extended data types that are used in parameters of each module.

"How is one supposed to know that ?"

Look at label of SalesParameters table.

Anyway many things in D365FO are not easy to figure out when you do it for the first time. Having a mentor, and being good at web searches are important.

Hi Smore,

Usually, all number sequences are linked to certain EDT. If you want to find number sequence and related method (if it exists) you need

1. Identify EDT (in case of "Project budget ID" it's ProjBudgetId)

2. Find EDT in AOT

3. Find EDT references and look for numRef* method and NumberSeqModule classes (it will help you identify function module where number sequence is used).

When using the editor, it looks like my choice is valid:

But when I compile, I get the following error:

If ProjParameters does not have that field, then why is the IDE showing that as a valid option ?

Hi Smore,

You probably forgot to add brackets ( ProjParameters::numRefProjBudgetId() )
