Create a vendor via an action button

What is the error you receive?

​@stephenward03 ,
when try to insert VendorR instance it gives a run time error “object reference is null”. when tring to insert BAccount instance it did not accept. when try to save Vendor instance, it did not saves data to database 

Hi ​@PDharmasena10 

You should try to create the BAccount record first, the VendorR table inherits from Vendor, which inherits from BAccount.

You should insert a BAccount record into the BusinessAccountMaint graph first too.

Another avenue you could look into is using the ExtendToVendorGraph graph extension which implements the logic of extending a business account to a vendor.

Hi ​@PDharmasena10,
Please try below code snippet.

 public static void SaveVendor(ESProspectVendors prospectVendor)
 {
     try
     {


         var vendorGraph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<VendorMaint>();

         // Create and populate the BAccount
         PX.Objects.CR.BAccount bAccount = new PX.Objects.CR.BAccount
         {
             AcctCD = prospectVendor.SupplierCode,
             AcctName = prospectVendor.SupplierName,

         }

         bAccount = vendorGraph.BAccount.Insert((VendorR)bAccount);

         // Create and populate the Vendor
         Vendor vendor = new Vendor
         {
             AcctCD = prospectVendor.SupplierCode,
             VendorClassID = prospectVendor.VendorClassID,
             LegalName = prospectVendor.SupplierName
         };

         vendor = vendorGraph.CurrentVendor.Insert(vendor);

         // Save the Vendor and BAccount
         vendorGraph.Actions.PressSave();

         // Update the Prospect Vendor with the new VendorCD
         var prospectVendorGraph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<ESProspectVendorMaint>();
         prospectVendor.DefaultVendorCD = vendor.AcctCD;
         prospectVendorGraph.ProspectVendorsView.Update(prospectVendor);
         prospectVendorGraph.Actions.PressSave();


     }
     catch (Exception ex)
     {
         PXTrace.WriteError($"Error: {ex.Message} - {ex.InnerException?.Message}");
     }

Hope it will helps!

Hi ​@PDharmasena10 

here is a simplified version that often works better in a custom action. You can adapt it to your naming convention and your custom fields:

public static void SaveVendor(ESProspectVendors prospectVendor)
{
    try
    {
        var vendorGraph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<VendorMaint>();

        BAccount bAcct = new BAccount
        {
            AcctCD = prospectVendor.SupplierCode, 
            AcctName = prospectVendor.SupplierName,
            Type = BAccountType.VendorType, 
        };
        bAcct = vendorGraph.BAccount.Insert(bAcct);

        Vendor vendor = new Vendor
        {
            AcctCD = bAcct.AcctCD,
            AcctName = prospectVendor.BankName,  
            VendorClassID = prospectVendor.VendorClassID,
            VStatus = "A" 
        };
        // Setting Current to ensure it’s recognized as the primary
        vendorGraph.Vendor.Current = vendorGraph.Vendor.Insert(vendor);

        //  (Optional) If you have extended DAC fields in VendorR, set them here
        //    Usually, you can just cast vendorGraph.Vendor.Current to your extension 
        //    or use vendorGraph.Caches[typeof(Vendor)].Current as VendorR, then set fields.


        vendorGraph.Actions.PressSave();

        // Update your Prospect Vendor with the newly created VendorCD
        var prospectVendorGraph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<ESProspectVendorMaint>();
        prospectVendor.DefaultVendorCD = bAcct.AcctCD; 
        prospectVendorGraph.ProspectVendorsView.Update(prospectVendor);
        prospectVendorGraph.Actions.PressSave();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        PXTrace.WriteInformation($" Error : {ex.Message} - {ex.InnerException?.Message}");
    }
}
