Hi Dmitriy

Thank you for the quick reply once again.

This is somehow also what we do today, but just inside the source code for live integration. I will try and use the NotificationSubscribers instead.

Hi Dmitriy

I have tried using the suggested notification subscribers instead of changing the Live Integration source code, as we've previously done. It seems to work with subscribers when rendering product info on pages, but I can't seem to get it to work in the cart and on the order confirmation page.

I have tried using the subscribers "OnBeforeErpCommunication"/"OnAfterErpCommunication" and also "OnBeforeGenerateOrderLineXml"/"OnAfterGenerateOrderLineXml". The first one seems to be hit, but it still shows the wrong price in the cart and on order confirmation screen.

The live prices is shown correctly everywhere on users where we don't have to include the custom field.

Any suggestions?

Hi Chris,

It is not clear wha you want to achieve regarding the prices for the Order.
You can use the OnAfterSendingOrderToErp notification and modify responseDocument xml and set your custom prices there, so
they should be taken from that xml and be used later in the next Live integration processing.
Kind regards, Dmitrij

Hi Dmitriy

Yes, maybe I was a bit unclear about this, also I mentioned the order confirmation, but actually I meant the checkout page. I will try and explain in details the problem.

In BC our client have 1 customer number for ordering and 1 customer number for invoicing. The following rules apply:

• All customer specific prices are related to the invoice customer.
• All orders should be created on the ordering customer

This effectively means that all requests for getting prices should use the invoice customer number while all creation of orders should use the ordering customer. My job is to show the correct price on the following pages:

• Product pages
• Cart(s)
• Checkout

Your previous example showed me how I could control the request for prices on the product pages, and this works fine. My problem is that I cannot get the prices to show correctly in the cart and on checkout page. I have tried subscribing to these events:

• OnBeforeSendingOrderToErp/OnAfterSendingOrderToErp
• OnBeforeErpCommunication/OnAfterErpCommunication
• OnBeforeGenerateOrderLineXml/OnAfterGenerateOrderLineXml

With a logic equal or similar to this:

        public override void OnNotify(string notification, NotificationArgs args)
        {
            OnBeforeSendingOrderToErpArgs orderArgs = (OnBeforeSendingOrderToErpArgs)args;

            if (orderArgs.Order.Complete)
            {
                User user = User.GetCurrentExtranetUser();
                string billToCustomerValue;
                if (user != null && (billToCustomerValue = user.CustomFieldValues.FirstOrDefault(x => x.CustomField.SystemName == "AccessUser_Bill_to_Customer")?.Value.ToString()) != null)
                {
                    Context.Current.Items["originalCustomerNumber"] = user.CustomerNumber;
                    orderArgs.Order.CustomerNumber = billToCustomerValue;
                }
            }
        }

or this

        public override void OnNotify(string notification, NotificationArgs args)
        {
            OnBeforeSendingOrderToErpArgs orderArgs = (OnBeforeSendingOrderToErpArgs)args;

            if (orderArgs.Order.Complete)
            {
                User user = User.GetCurrentExtranetUser();
                string billToCustomerValue;
                if (user != null && (billToCustomerValue = user.CustomFieldValues.FirstOrDefault(x => x.CustomField.SystemName == "AccessUser_Bill_to_Customer")?.Value.ToString()) != null)
                {
                    Context.Current.Items["originalCustomerNumber"] = user.CustomerNumber;
                    user.CustomerNumber = billToCustomerValue;
                }
            }
        }

There must be a way to reliably control the order calculation through the subscribers, but I just can't get it to work. Am I using the wrong subscribers?

Hi Chris,
try to get the user in this way:
var user = User.GetUserByID(order.CustomerAccessUserId) ?? (!ExecutingContext.IsBackEnd() ? User.GetCurrentExtranetUser() : null);
And set its customer number: user?.CustomerNumber
And user OnBeforeGenerateOrderXml/OnAfterGenerateOrderXml notifications.
Regards, Dmitrij

Hi Dmitriy

I have tested this and unfortunately this still gives me the wrong price.

I can see in the order XML send to ERP, that the customer number is still the original customer number and not the custom field that I intend to send. If I use the test tool and apply the custom field value to the XML property "OrderCustomerNumber" I get the correct price.

Hi Dmitriy

This works! Thank you for figuring this out.
