Get-ArticleNo #
SYNOPSIS #
This PowerShell function returns the article number based on an ID or barcode. This function requires an EULANDA ERP system. Source code on GitHub.
SYNTAX #
Get-ArticleNo [[-barcode] <String>] [[-articleNo] <String>] [[-articleId] <Int32>] [[-articleUid] <Guid>]
[[-conn] <Object>] [[-udl] <String>] [[-connStr] <String>] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION #
This can be used to determine the article number of an article. The search can be made either via its Id or its barcode (= GTIN). In case of a barcode search, the database should be modified, since the barcode is defined ambiguously by default. If neither a barcode nor an Id is passed, the function throws an exception.
EXAMPLES #
Example 1:Returns the article number based on a GTIN #
PS C:\> Get-ArticleNo -barcode '4014751021005' -udl "C:\temp\Eulanda_1 JohnDoe.udl"
The function returns the Id of the article with the barcode number (= GTIN) ‘4014751021005’. In this example, the database is opened via a UDL file.
PARAMETERS #
-articleId #
The ArticleId is a unique key in the table. It is normally only used internally to link tables together.
Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 2
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-articleNo #
The ArticleNo is a unique alphanumeric field in the ERP system. If the value is set, then the article is searched by this number.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-articleUid #
A UID (Unique Identifier) is a unique identifier assigned to a specific record in a database. In the context of EULANDA ERP software, each article is assigned a UID to uniquely identify it, regardless of its name, number, or other properties. The UID is usually automatically generated by the database and has a fixed length and formatting to ensure its uniqueness. The articleUid parameter is used to specify the UID of the article to retrieve the record.
Type: Guid
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 3
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-barcode #
The barcode (= GTIN) is a field in the article table which is not defined as a unique field by default. However, if you want to achieve a reliable search, the field should be set to uniqueness in the database beforehand.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-conn #
The connection can be established via an existing ADO object of the type ‘ADODB.Connection’. If the connection is already open, it remains open even after the function has been executed. If it was closed, it will be closed again after the function has been executed.
Type: Object
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 4
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-connStr #
A ConnectionString can be specified here, with which a database can be opened.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 6
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-udl #
Alternatively to a connection, a string to a UDL file can be specified. In this case an ADO object is created and closed again at the end of the function.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 5
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
