Receive a Purchase Order > Asset Line

[Julia Howells]

When receiving a PO, there is an associated Asset Order Line (AOL).

On the PO, there is a UI Action 'Receive'.

If the Product Model is missing, we want the receive button to be hidden completely, or we want an error message to display that says something like "Please populate the Product Model in order to receive this line item". 

In the UI action server script, I want to first query for an associated line item and check that field. If product model (or AOL) is empty, then just display an error saying so. Below is what I wrote but it doesn't seem to be doing the checks at all and goes right to the modal. 

var currentRecord = current;
    var assetOrderLines = new GlideRecord('proc_po_item'); 
    assetOrderLines.addQuery('purchase_order', currentRecord.sys_id); // Asset Order
    assetOrderLines.query();

	// Check if there are associated Asset Order Lines
    if (assetOrderLines.hasNext()) {
        while (assetOrderLines.next()) {
            // Check if the Product Model field is empty for any of the Asset Order Lines
            if (assetOrderLines.model.nil()) {
                // Display an error message and exit the script
                gs.addErrorMessage("Please populate the Product Model in order to receive this line item");
            }
        }
	} 
function openPopUp(){
   var dialogClass = window.GlideModal ? GlideModal : GlideDialogWindow;
   var dialog = new dialogClass("receive_order");
   dialog.setWidth("800");
   dialog.setTitle("Receive Purchase Order #" + g_form.getValue("number"));
   dialog.setPreference("sys_id", g_form.getUniqueValue());
   dialog.render(); // Open the dialog box
}

Hi @Julia Howells 

To hide the UI Action, you can use the condition field in UI Action.

1. Create a script include and a function in it like the one below.

var CustomAolUtils = Class.create();

CustomAolUtil.prototype={

  initialize :function(){},

  checkForEmptyModelInAOL : function(currentRecord){

    var assetOrderLines = new GlideRecord('proc_po_item'); 

    assetOrderLines.addQuery('purchase_order', currentRecord.sys_id);

    assetOrderLines.query();

    if (assetOrderLines.hasNext()) {

        while (assetOrderLines.next()) {

          var model = assetOrderLines.getValue('model');

            if (gs.nil(model)) {

              return false;

            }

        }

        return true;

     }

    return false;

  },

  type :'CustomAolUtil'

};

Then use this UI Action condition like this,

new CustomAolUtils.checkForEmptyModelInAOL(current);

In this way you can completely hide the UI Action if there is any AOL with empty model.
