Add new status value and set enable

Not sure if this is the correct approach.

Maybe look into workflows and changing document status using workflows

 Hello @Naveen Boga  and @RohitRattan88 . Thanks for your suggestion, I tried to add new Status by implement a workflow as following:

using PX.Common;
using PX.Data;
using PX.Data.BQL;
using PX.Data.WorkflowAPI;
using PX.Objects.AP;
using PX.Objects.AR;
using PX.Objects.CS;
using PX.Objects.SO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using static PX.Data.WorkflowAPI.BoundedTo<PX.Objects.AR.ARInvoiceEntry,
  PX.Objects.AR.ARInvoice>;

namespace PX.Objects.AR
{
    public class ARInvoiceArchive_Workflow : PXGraphExtension<ARInvoiceEntry_Workflow, ARInvoiceEntry>
    {

        public override void Configure(PXScreenConfiguration config)
        {
            Configure(config.GetScreenConfigurationContext<ARInvoiceEntry, ARInvoice>());
        }
        protected virtual void Configure(WorkflowContext<ARInvoiceEntry,
            ARInvoice> context)
        {


            var processingCate = context.Categories.Get("Processing");
            var newAction = context.ActionDefinitions
                .CreateNew("Archive", a => a
                  .DisplayName("Archive")
                  .WithCategory(processingCate)                  
                  );



            context.UpdateScreenConfigurationFor(screen => screen
                .UpdateDefaultFlow(flow =>
                {
                    return flow
                        .WithFlowStates(flowStates =>
                        {
                            flowStates.Update<ARDocStatus.open>(flowState =>
                            {
                                return flowState.WithActions(actions =>
                                    actions.Add(newAction));
                            });
                            flowStates.Add<ARDocStatus_Archive.archive>(flowState =>
                            {
                                return flowState.WithActions(actions =>
                                    actions.Add(newAction, a => a
                                        .IsDuplicatedInToolbar()
                                        .WithConnotation(ActionConnotation.Success)));
                            });
                        })
                        .WithTransitions(transitions =>
                        {
                            transitions.AddGroupFrom<ARDocStatus_Archive.archive>(ts =>
                            {
                                ts.Add(t => t
                                    .ToNext()
                                    .IsTriggeredOn(newAction)
                                    .WithFieldAssignments(fass => fass
                                        .Add<ARInvoice.docDesc>(f => f.SetFromValue("test workflow"))));
                            });
                        });
                })

                .WithFieldStates(fs =>
                {
                    fs.Add<ARInvoice.status>(state =>
                        state.SetComboValue(ARDocStatus_Archive.Archive, "Archive"));
                })
                .WithActions(actions =>
                {
                    actions.Add(newAction);
                })
            );
        }
    }

    public class ARDocStatus_Archive : ARDocStatus
    {
        public const string Archive = "A";
        public class archive : BqlType<IBqlString, string>.Constant<archive>
        {
            public archive()
                : base("A")
            {
            }
        }
    }
}

When status is Open, the button Archive is display but when I click on it, the status doesn’t change  to “Archive”.

Could you please have look and give me a suggestion?

Thank you in advance

You could always do this without code. Copy the default workflow for the screen and then add the New State in there. Then create a new action to set this state and then add it to the Action on the Open State. I have done something similiar for other forms with out any ‘code’ needed. 

In order to move from one Status to another, you need to define a transition. It looks like you tried to add one, but I don’t believe it’s configured quite right.

Here’s an example of a transition that is working in my code:

transitions.Add(transition => transition
	.From(States.Open)
	.To(States.PendingCustomer)
	.IsTriggeredOn(actionWaitForInfo));

I am able to create the new status and switch value between them.

However, I dont know why the value of status field on Generic Inquiry (screen AR3010PL) are empty. It should have status = Archive. 

Do you have any idea?

Could you update us on the way that you chose to do it? Does it correctly show as 'Archive' on the Invoice entry screen?

Hello @darylbowman, it show Archive on entry screen

Does anyone have idea why the status didn’t show in Generic Inquire screen? :(

I’m sorry, I don’t. I also have no experience adding additional statuses. I’ve added countless Reasons to Cases, but no Statuses. If it’s showing on the document, I have no clue why it wouldn’t be showing in the GI.

Hello @darylbowman, I found solution to resolve the issue on GI.

We need to extend the Graph to overwrite existing customization of default field Status.

You could find the details in the topic 

@dcomerford  for your information: My Workflow is created based on a system workflow so I need to creating new status by extending the default workflow (by coding) them I add new status in my workflow. It means I need to do both coding and configuration.

Thank you very much for your help.

Nicely done. Glad you figured it out.

@mrthanhkhoi Good news sorry yes i would have created a new workflow by extending the default system worflow but i would have done that in the package
