Event handler subscription on approveVariance

Question

I created an event handler subscription on approveVariance method in VendInvoiceInfoTable.

Here is the code of the handler:

public static void postApprovingPendingInvoice(XppPrePostArgs _args)
{
   VendInvoiceInfoTable vendInvoiceInfoTable;

   vendInvoiceInfoTable = _args.getThis();

   info(vendInvoiceInfoTable.PurchId + " from handler");
}

All god and fine if i check and uncheck the checkbox myself. I am talking about the checkbox found on VendInvoiceMatchingDetails form with label :

 Approve posting with matching discrepancies.

The problem appears when that approveVariance is called from a batch. The handler is not reached anymore.

Is this a correct behavior ? Is there any valid approach to this?

I think I can create a static method in a util class, and call it every time the approveVariance is called and send a specific parmeter. I just tried to follow the best practices.

As Matej said, you need to build the CIL (incremental or full) as batch runs in the CIL (Common Intermediate Language).

When you write code, it initially compiles into P-Code, which is interpreted by the AX runtime environment. When you build the CIL, it interprets/compiles that p-code into the CIL.

When you say "older .dll", it's more like older *.xpp files most likely located in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\[aos]\bin\XppIL\source

Here's a great article on the CIL
