A simple example of how to create a purchase order line through code using AX<Table>-Class.

static void createPurchLine(Args _args)
{
    axPurchLine axPurchLine;
    purchLine purchLine;
   
    axPurchLine = AxPurchLine::newPurchLine(purchLine);
    axPurchLine.validateInput(true);
    axPurchLine.continueOnError(false);
   
    axpurchLine.parmPurchId("P00001");
    axpurchLine.parmItemId("1000");
    axPurchLine.parmPurchQty(10);
    axPurchLine.parmPurchPrice(24.50);
    axPurchLine.save();
}

If you need a so called AX-class can use the class AxGenerateAxBCClass.

Simply call this class in the AOT by right clicking and follow the wizard or use following job:

static void generateAXTableClass(Args _args)
{
    AxGenerateAxBCClass axGenerateAxBCClass;
    
    axGenerateAxBCClass = new AxGenerateAxBCClass();
    axGenerateAxBCClass.parmTableId(tableNum(MyNewTable));
    axGenerateAxBCClass.run();
}

A that way generated class must be modified sometimes, but using the wizard is much faster than creating the class manually.

If the table changes, for example when adding new fields, you simply call that AxGenerateAxBCClass again and the AX

-class will be extended accordingly.

How to use such AX

-classes, i've described here.

Here is an example of how you can add contact information data to an existing entry in the global address book.

static void createPartyContactInfo(Args _args)
{
    DirPartyTable dirPartyTable = DirPartyTable::findByNum(??"100000");
    DirParty dirParty;
    DirPartyContactInfoView dirPartyContactInfoView;

    // Edit Global address book
    dirParty = DirParty::constructFromCommon(dirPartyTable, DirUtility::getCurrentDateTime(), DirPartyType::Organization);

    // Create contact info
    dirPartyContactInfoView.LocationName    ='Office';
    dirPartyContactInfoView.Locator         ='+43 1 4654646';
    dirPartyContactInfoView.Type            = LogisticsElectronicAddressMethodType::Phone;
    dirPartyContactInfoView.IsPrimary       = NoYes::Yes;

    dirParty.createOrUpdateContactInfo(dirPartyContactInfoView);
}

Such a created entry will look like this:
