Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

Below is the code used.

//link document

var currlink = this.BusinessTransactionDocumentReference.Where(n => n.BusinessTransactionDocumentReference.TypeCode == "30");

lqueryParams.Clear();

lqueryParams.Add(lquery.ID.content, "I", "EQ", this.QuoteReference);

var lqueryResults = lquery.Execute(lqueryParams);

if ((!currlink.GetFirst().IsSet()) && (lqueryResults.Count() > 0))

{

var flink : elementsof this.BusinessTransactionDocumentReference;

flink.BusinessTransactionDocumentReference.ID.content = this.QuoteReference;

flink.BusinessTransactionDocumentReference.TypeCode = "30";

flink.BusinessTransactionDocumentRelationshipRoleCode = "1";

flink.BusinessTransactionDocumentReference.UUID

this.BusinessTransactionDocumentReference.Create(flink);

}

Cause

RelationshipRoleCode = "1" represents the predecessor and RelationshipRoleCode 2 represents a successor. If you wants to create a link with a document as a predecessor than it is currently not possible. The current functionality only allows to create a successor link.

Resolution

Kindly use the RelationshipRoleCode 2 as below to create a successor link.

flinkI.BusinessTransactionDocumentRelationshipRoleCode = "2"
