Class Entry

The parameterless constructor is intended to be used only when simulating entry data for display or default case purposes, and is not intended to be used when loading persisted data from the database. Please use one of the appropriate parameterized constructors when loading persisted data. The required application information will be determined from the current AppContext.

This constructor will be marked obsolete in future releases. Applying service dependency lookups in the constructor can cause performance issues when large numbers of entries are loaded, and should be handled outside the constructor. Please use the Entry(IWarehouseRepository, IWarehouseInventoryService, CatalogEntryDto.CatalogEntryRow, CatalogEntryResponseGroup.ResponseGroup) constructor instead. This Entry record will not be marked with any CatalogEntryResponseGroup flags by default.

While the constructors accept dependencies, the dependencies will not be stored with the object, since it is serializable. The code in the contructors should be moved to a factory or controller where dependencies may be managed properly. Data from the new warehouse-specific inventory system will be loaded if this parameter includes the Inventory flag, the Full flag, or the provided CatalogEntryDto.CatalogEntryRow includes an InventoryRow (to support backwards compatibility).

See Entry for details. This constructor acts like the non-parameterized version, except it bypasses the resolution of the required ApplicationId field (e.g. for performance reasons).

If the entry was not loaded from the database, this will be Guid.Empty.

This is the string catalog entry code. It is not the numeric ID.

Disabled means inventory is not tracked. Ignored means that inventory amounts are tracked but do not affect whether or not an order is accepted, this status does no longer exist from version 8.7 or later. Enabled means that inventory amounts are tracked and orders that exceed current stock levels (possibly incl. backorder amounts) are blocked.

This flag should be used with care. It is intended as a contract that specifies what related data the Entry has loaded from the database (e.g. Associations, SEO) so that the object can be reused in different contexts.
Generally if the entry was not loaded from the database, the Entry object should be used for a specific purpose with a short lifetime where all actions on it are deliberate, and this flag should be null. Data may be set freely independently of this flag setting, and the flag will not change to reflect updates to the fields. This is intended to allow the developer the ability to distinguish between persisted and non-persisted data, so long as the flag is set properly.
