PdcMaterialFile.WriteOff

Declaration

WriteOff(CalcNo as String, MatPos as String, MatID as long, MatNo as string, StockID as long, Quantity as double) as Boolean

Description

This method writes off a stock line (with certificate) for a specific material number on a calculation.

Notes

CalcNo = Calculation number (DO_ORDNR).
MatPos = Material position in the calculation (DM_POS).
MatID = Material ID in the calculation (DM_ID).
MatNo = Material number (LM_MATN).
StockID = The stockline ID (LMV_ID).
Quantity = The quantity to write off.

This sets of parameters writes off a quantity on a calculation:
1. You have to apply the parameters CalcNo, MatPos, MatNo, StockID and Quantity.
2. You have to apply the parameters MatID, MatNo, StockID and Quantity.

This method writes off the quantity and deduct the existing reservation. The reservation is removed when the remaining quantity is zero.
Write off a material with a different number than the forecast is possible.
A stock history line is also created with this method.

Code example

Adjust a material's sourcing strategy.

dim strCalcNo
dim strMatPos
dim lngMatID
dim strMatNo
dim strStockID
dim dblQnty

  strCalcNo  = "01483"
  strMatPos  = "0001"
  lngMatID   = 2118
  strMatNo   = "BU.050.050.RVS309"
  strStockID = 7
  dblQnty    = 10
  if pdc.MasterData.MaterialFile.WriteOff(strCalcNo, strMatPos, lngMatID, strMatNo, strStockID, dblQnty) then
    msgbox "Het is gelukt."
  else
    msgbox pdc.LastError
  end if
