DEVELOPERS FORUM - Cost update using Nash

myusufm - Tuesday, December 17, 2013 4:54 AM:

I understand that batch upload of part is possible with Nash along with class details etc.

Is it possible to include the information on cost as well (target, estimate, actual?)

i tried to find any related post but can't find any. 

Thanks.

At last i could update the cost using below after numerous tries

<AML>

<Item type="Part Goal" action="add">

  <source_id>

      <Item type='Part' action='get'>

         <item_number>12345</item_number>

      </Item>

    </source_id>

<goal>Cost</goal>

<estimated_value>999</estimated_value>

</Item>

</AML>

But, the parts does not automatically updated. I need to manually lock and unlock the part before the cost being updated. Anyone can inform me why and teach me the correct method.

Hi there,

You can write AML as:

<AML>

<Item type="Part" action="edit" where="[Part].item_number='12345'">

<Relationships>

<Item type="Part Goal" action="add">

<goal>Cost</goal>

<estimated_value>999</estimated_value>

</Item>

</Relationships>

</Item>

</AML>

Its due to, while adding Relationship Type Item directly, Aras does not fires the Methods written on Part "OnAfterUpdate" Event.

Thanks - Vasant
