Code samples

Get user inputs from current item assign it to inputs variable

Code Block
api.currentItem()?.inputs?.get(0)?.value

Get individual field values from user inputs:

Code Block
inputs?.get("managementOptionsInput")

Get "Discount" lookup table Id assign it to the discountID variable.

Code Block
def discountID = api.findLookupTable("Discount").id

Create filters:

  • 'ProductGroup' equal oldName

  • 'lookupTable.id' equal discountID

Code Block
def discountFilters = [
        Filter.equal("ProductGroup", oldName),
        Filter.equal('lookupTable.id', discountID)
]

Update "ProductFamilyMapping" lookup table. To obtain accurate data, make use of filters.

Code Block
api.find('LTV', 0, *discountFilters).collect {
    def entry = [
            lookupTableName: "ProductFamilyMapping",
            id             : it.id,
            valueType      : it.valueType,
            typedId        : it.typedId,
            name           : newName,
            value          : it.value
    ]
    api.addOrUpdate("LTV", entry)
}

Use discountEntries and update "Discount" lookup table

Code Block
discountEntries.each {
    api.addOrUpdate("MLTV2", [
            lookupTableName: "Discount",
            key1           : it["Product Group"].value,
            key2           : it["Discount Level"].value,
            attribute1     : it["Target Discount %"].value,
            attribute2     : it["Max Discount %"].value
    ])
}

Get "DiscountLevelDefinitionMatrix" table outputs from current item

Code Block
api.currentItem()?.outputs?.find { it.resultName == "DiscountLevelDefinitionMatrix" }

If output is null get an empty list

Code Block
discountLevelDefinitionTable = discountLevelDefinitionTable ? discountLevelDefinitionTable : []

Filter the rows in their respective tables based on the values of Map.

Code Block
def discountLevelDefinitionEntries = discountLevelDefinitionTable.result.entries.findAll { it['Product Family'] instanceof Map }
