Adding an IF...THEN...ELSE statement - TRIGGERS

[Jozef Pietruniak]

I created a trigger that creates a STATS journal to post the QUANTITY of an item purchased or sold.  Is there away of adding an IF statement in the API to change the TR_TYPE to "-1"if the quantity being passed is a negative?

You would have two separate smart events and add a specific condition to each.

The condition would be reversed for each one.

You could also use an EVAL within the API call -  something like the following:

<TR_TYPE>#EVAL[ if ({!INJECTION_PARAM_QUANTITY!} < 0) {"-1"} else {"1"}; ]</TR_TYPE>

Can  I add a formula to convert the -QTY to Positive when I'm posting the value?  In other words can I post the ABS value?

[Preston, Charlie]

Within EVAL you are writing JavaScript, so you can use the standard JS functions:

<TRX_AMOUNT>#EVAL[ Math.abs({!INJECTION_PARAM_QUANTITY!}); ]</TRX_AMOUNT>
