Is there a way to create an Order Contact from using the Lookup API? Or am I totally thinking the wrong way with this. I am particulary concerned about the underwriter, since it is used in rate calculations.

An example would be great.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Danny,
Sorry for the delay in someone responding to your question.

I wasn't sure what you were referring to. Are you literally trying to create a new order contact through the Lookup API, or are you trying to add an entry to a lookup table?

To create a new order contact, you can go through the order properties. e.g.

IOrder order = OrderTracking.CreateOrder();
IUnderwriter underwriter = order.Underwriter.CreateNew();

If you're trying to add an entry to a lookup table I can pass along your question.

Well, you are correct that I want to create an order contact and I do using what you stated. But I want to load that Order Contact with information from the contacts lookup tables. I hope this makes sense,

uw = order.Underwriter.createNew();
uw.LookupCode = "CM"; // this does not seem to load the contact, which i guessed

I want the underwriter/contact I create to use the Underwriter/contact information from the Underwriter/Contact Lookup table, with the lookup code "CM", being Commerce Title. I do not want to have to copy all the information of the underwriter, e.g. logo, seal image, and then have to go into the order and SoftPro add "U2" when I choose "CM" on the "Title Insurance Premiums" screen, because that is the correct one.

If this is simple, please forgive my ignorance, I am just not seeing it.

If this still does not make sense please reply.

The Select client will overlay all the mapped columns from a lookup table, when the designated key field for that table is modified. Unfortunately, this functionality is not exposed via the API. You can get very similar behavior by hard-coding the mapping from lookup entries to the individual elements of an underwriter. This code will be brittle to the extent that your hard-coded mappings should be revisited whenever the lookup table changes. You'll end up with a block of code like this:

Code: Select all

underwriter.SomeProp1 = row["Lookup column name for some underwriter prop 1"].Value as string;
underwriter.SomeProp2 = row["Lookup column name for some underwriter prop 2"].Value as string;
underwriter.SomeProp3 = row["Lookup column name for some underwriter prop 3"].Value as string;

Here is an example since I see a lot of people looking at this. This is for other contact and Underwriter, I noticed they are not mapped exactly so i had to debug and look at all the rows columns to get the names to the Classes Properties.

Now all I need to figure out is how to put a formula in the FeeTransferLedger. Looking for that now.

And I guess to get a Trustee would have to search that also and add reference to marketing Rep, but I don't care about that one.

                    LookupQuerySpec luspec = new LookupQuerySpec();

Found the SetFormula, guess I should have not jumped the gun, and good coding would be to check all values to see if they are formulas. But hey, it keeps me employeed.

Code: Select all

                        if (row["FeeTransferLedger"].IsFormula)
                        {
                            uw.SetFormula("", row["FeeTransferLedger"].Value.ToString());
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            uw.FeeTransferLedger = row["FeeTransferLedger"].Value.ToString();
                        }

We are hoping to migrate to SPS v3.0 in the near future and I have a new requirement to add fully hydrated Underwriters to new orders created through the SPS API.

Will I still need to follow this suggested workaround in v3.0?

Thanks,
Bob

No. The API for version 3.0 is being rewritten such that issues like this should not exist in the same fashion. Obviously, we cannot guarantee that there won't be issues, but the API, in general, will give much more access to everything within the order.
