Update asset method

This example changes data in Twinfield. It deletes the asset method again, but only run it on a test administration.

Creates an asset method, changes its name and calculation method, and deletes it again.

update() sends all values of the input, so values you leave out are cleared. Start from $method->edit(): that gives an AssetMethodInput with all current values, and you only change what you need. The calculation settings are the exception: they are only sent when set, and edit() always sets them.

update() checks first that the asset method exists and throws an AssetMethodNotFoundException when it does not. Afterwards it reads the asset method back, so you get the saved values.

Code

$twinfield = Example::twinfield();

$assetMethods = $twinfield->assetMethods();
$code = $argv[1] ?? Example::unusedAssetMethodCode($twinfield);

$method = $assetMethods->create(AssetMethodInput::create($code, 'Example laptops')->linear(36));

try {
    $method = $assetMethods->update(
        $method->edit()
            ->name('Example laptops (updated)')
            ->reducingBalance('25'),
    );

    echo 'After:  ', $method->name, ', ', $method->calculationMethod->value, ' ', $method->percentage, '%', PHP_EOL;
} finally {
    $assetMethods->delete($code);
}

Run

TWINFIELD_COMPANY=1002_3 TWINFIELD_ALLOW_WRITES=1002_3 php examples/asset-methods/update-asset-method/example.php

Before: Example laptops, linear 36 periods
After:  Example laptops (updated), reducebalance 25%
