Create contacts for Party (Vendor or Customer) using x++ code

To create customer/vendor contacts, we can use Microsoft Dynamics Excel add-in, however, few times we need x++ code to do the job. Following is the code that reads a cvs file and then creates contacts against vendor using x++ code

static void ContactCreate(Args _args)

{

VendTable vendTable;

DirParty dirParty;

DirPartyContactInfoView contact;

CommaTextIo file;

container record;

;

file = new CommaTextIo("C:\\VendorContacts.csv",'r');

file.inFieldDelimiter(',');

while (file.status() == IO_Status::Ok)

{

record = file.read();

vendTable = VendTable::find(conPeek(record,1));

if (vendTable.RecId)

{

dirParty = DirParty::constructFromCommon(vendTable);

contact.CountryRegionCode = conPeek(record,2); // e.g "USA"

contact.LocationName = conPeek(record,7); // e.g "Main Phone" "Fax" "Email"

contact.Locator = conPeek(record,3); // e.g (xxx)-2333889

contact.Type = conPeek(record,15); // See base enum "LogisticsElectronicAddressMethodType"

contact.ValidFrom = datetobeginUtcDateTime(1\1\2012, DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone()) ;

contact.ValidTo = datetobeginUtcDateTime(1\1\2154, DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone()) ;

contact.Party = vendTable.Party;

dirParty.createOrUpdateContactInfo(contact);

}

}

}
