Modifying Batch Number - SOP Entry - VSTools

[Borvik]

This is partly related to my recent Focus triggers post.

We have people who are accidentally entering orders into wrong batches - they were viewing an order that was in a batch and saved it to start entering a new order, and the batch doesn't change - so they unwittingly enter the new order under the batch they were viewing. This has caused orders to invoice without shipping - and therefore will never ship.

In trying to alleviate this, I am attempting to trap the window clear event (now known to be the window pre script/OpenAfterOriginal) and change the batch number to the default sales entry batch.

So far this has not worked as expected - it appears to have worked, but I'm coming across the same issue described here:

http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.greatplains/Modify-Batch-ID-Field-in-SOP-Trans-Entry

Though I appear to already be doing the suggestion: (I created a static class GP with static globals such as SopEntry to hold references to the forms I'm using)

GP.SopEntry.BatchNumber.Value = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString().ToUpper();
GP.SopEntry.BatchNumber.RunValidate();

When logging scripts I've come across this:

    ...
    'EnableCopySOEntry'
    '[0]'
    '[0]'
        'SOP_Entry Batch Number_CHG on form SOP_Entry'
            'SOPTypeToInt()', 0, 2, 0.00000
            'SetBatchNumber() of form SOP_Entry', 0, 1, 2, "WEDNESDAY", "", 10/5/2011, 0/0/0000, 0, 0, 1-, "", table 'Batch_Headers', table 'SY_Posting_Journal_Settings', 0/0/0000
                'SOP_Entry l_Note Show Hide[4]_CHG on form SOP_Entry'
                    'Check_For_Record_Note', 13794.00000, 0
                'BatchStatusRecovered()', 0, 0
                'SOP_Update_Batch_Activity', 8, "WEDNESDAY", "Sales Entry", 0, "Sales Transaction Entry", 1

Though when entering an order and changing the batch I see this:

'SOP_Entry Batch Number_CHG on form SOP_Entry'
    'SOPTypeToInt()', 0, 2, 0.00000
    'SetBatchNumber() of form SOP_Entry', 0, 1, 2, "MONDAY", "WEDNESDAY", 4/12/2017, 0/0/0000, 0, 0, 1-, "", table 'Batch_Headers', table 'SY_Posting_Journal_Settings', 0/0/0000
        'SOP_Update_Batch_Activity', 3, "WEDNESDAY", "Sales Entry", 0, "Sales Transaction Entry", 1
        'SOP_Entry l_Note Show Hide[4]_CHG on form SOP_Entry'
            'Check_For_Record_Note', 38.00000, 0
        'BatchStatusRecovered()', 0, 0
        'GLPostingDate_IsValid() of form SOP_Entry', 0, 4/12/2017, 2, 0/0/0000
        'GLPostingDate_Set of form SOP_Entry', 4/12/2017, 1, 0/0/0000, table 'SOP_HDR_WORK'
        'SOP_Update_Batch_Activity', 8, "MONDAY", "Sales Entry", 0, "Sales Transaction Entry", 1

Clearly I am missing something, but I just can't see what right now.

Any ideas?
