Dynamics ax 2012 AIF date not accepting

Question

Keep receiving exception message like this "Error reading value of type Date from XML." While inserting the salesorder using aif.

   //string deliverdt = "19/05/2017";

DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact(deliverdt, "dd/MM/yyyy", null);

AxdEntity_SalesTable salesTable = new AxdEntity_SalesTable();
salesTable.CurrencyCode = "USD";
salesTable.CustAccount = "C-000003";
salesTable.DeliveryDate = new DateTime(2017, 5, 19); // Convert.ToDateTime("19/05/2017"); //System.DateTime.Now; 
// salesTable.DeliveryDate = Convert.ToDateTime(dt);
//Convert.ToDateTime("5/19/2017");
salesTable.Payment = "N07";
salesTable.PurchOrderFormNum = "PO";

AxdEntity_SalesLine salesLine = new AxdEntity_SalesLine();
salesLine.ItemId = "A3300-HV";
salesLine.SalesQty = 1;
salesLine.SalesUnit = "ea";
salesLine.SalesPrice = 2000;

Answer 1

Have you tried with salesTable.DeliveryDateSpecified = true;?

.NET wrapper creates Specified properties for value types.

Answer 2

In my case it was enough to fulfill field salesTable.ReceiptDateRequested
