I am trying to use an API to automate the session Maintain Outbound Data. No matter what data i pass to the fields on the insert portion of the form, i get the error "No inventory of [ITEM] [LOT] for the specified date" (where [ITEM] and [LOT] are my entered item and lot). Here is a snippet of my code that i am using. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

stpapi.put.field(api.subsession.1, "tdilc401.pono", "10")
stpapi.put.field(api.subsession.1, "tdilc401.clot", "MVB00132")
stpapi.put.field(api.subsession.1, "tdilc401.date", "10082002")
stpapi.put.field(api.subsession.1, "tdilc401.loca", "RECEIPT")
stpapi.put.field(api.subsession.1, "tdilc401.qstr", "40")
rc = stpapi.insert(api.subsession.1, 1, api.err.msg)

if i key this exact data into the session, then everything works just fine.

Does the session have a type 3 form? If a record is inserted with a type 3 form, the function stpapi.change.view must be called to set the correct key field values.

Try entering the same data manually in your session and see if you get the same error, maybe there is no inventory for the given item/lot?

I think you will have to enter the date value as a "stringed" value of the long value that Baan (4) internally uses for dates.
So, instead of "10082002" use
str$(date.to.num(2002, 08, 10)) and it should work fine (I hope)
