CreateTransactionEntity Method

Creates a transaction from an eConnect XML document. Returns a string that includes XML for the document that was created.

Class

Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.eConnectMethods

Syntax

public string CreateTransactionEntity(string connectionString, string sXML)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: string

The return value is a string that contains the XML for the document that was created.

Remarks

Use the CreateTransactionEntity method to create new transaction data in Microsoft Dynamics GP. For example, use CreateTransactionEntity to add a sales order or inventory transaction document.

To submit a document, create a string that represents the eConnect XML document. Use the string as the sXML parameter.

Use the return value to verify the data that was created. For example, use the XML to obtain the document ID for transaction documents that automatically generate document ID numbers.

If an error occurs, the method throws an eConnectException, application exception, or exception.

Examples

The following Visual Basic .NET code example creates a sales order document. The XML that specifies the sales order to create is retrieved from the file named CustomerDelete.xml. Notice how the CreateTransactionEntity returns an XML string that represents the new sales order.

'Load the eConnect XML document into an XMLDocument object
Dim xmldoc As New Xml.XmlDocument
xmldoc.Load("SalesOrder.xml ")
'Use the XMLDocument object to create an XML string representation
'of the eConnect XML Sales Order document
Dim salesOrderDocument As String
salesOrderDocument = xmldoc.OuterXml
'Create a connection string to the Microsoft Dynamics GP database server
'Integrated Security is required. Integrated security=SSPI
Dim sConnectionString As String
sConnectionString = "data source=MySrvr;initial catalog=TWO;" _
    & "integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=False;" _
    & "packet size=4096"
'Use CreateTransactionEntity to create the sales order document
'in Microsoft Dynamics GP
Dim newSalesOrder As String
newSalesOrder = eConCall.CreateTransactionEntity(sConnectionString, salesOrderDocument)
