Unable to skip Item Availability Check form

Question

Hi,
I am trying to skip the Item Availability Check dialog (FormTypeEx = "65050") which comes up in Sales Order if an item's available quantity is less than ordered quantity. I know I won't be able to completely skip it since it's a system UI form, so I tried to do "Click" on the OK button as soon as form 65050 is activated, using the following code:
If pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_ACTIVATE and pVal.FormTypeEx = "65050" Then
   objForm.Items.Item("1").Click()
End if
Seems simple enough, and the form does close as I wanted it to. But the events that followed backed me into a corner, almost making me think this just can't be done.
First, after the form closes, the focus is back at the quantity column of the Sales Order form (139). If I tab out of that field, another Item Availability Check form opens up, as if the first one never opened, unlike if I clicked on the "OK" button on form 65050 manually through UI, the second time I tab out of the quantity field, the 65050 form won't pop open again.
So I thought instead of having the focus stay in Quantity field, why don't I force the entry of the Unit Price field, which won't trigger form 65050 to open again. And it did not open form 65050 just as I expected. Great, just when I thought everything is working the way I want it to, as soon as I enter a price in the Unit Price field, then tab away from there, the Order Quantity value keeps getting changed from my last value to the previous value. That is, by default the qty is 1 when a new line is added. If I change the qty to 5, after I click on OK in form 65050, and click into Unit Price (all thru code), then I enter a unit price, and when I tab out of the price field, the order qty is changed from 5 back to 1. At that point if I try to force 5 back into the qty field, then form 65050 keeps popping up in a loop.
I tried to use Event Logger to debug, what I realized is that clicking OK button on form 65050 thru UI and SDK generate different event sequences. If I do it in SDK, even though I have the click action in the After Action of FORM_ACTIVATE event, the event logger shows the FORM_ACTIVATE entry of form 65050 after all the entries of CLICK and ITEM_PRESSED and even FORM_UNLOAD as a result of my "clicking" of the OK button. Maybe this is why coming out of that form, tabbing out of qty field still triggers it to open again, because B1 doesn't recognize it as having opened before?
Anyway, hope this long description make some sense, but I certainly am running out of ideas to get around this. Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

i would try some situations - for example freezing/delfilters after leaving the quantinty field.
when you use a function like i post here no events will get executed - its like a "silent" mode
Public Sub DelFilters()
    Set oFilters = New SAPbouiCOM.EventFilters
    appl.SetFilter oFilters
End Sub
maybe this will help you !
regards & nice weekend
