I don't have much experience with BAM's and BAM reports.
I have one created and it fires sending the task to the System Monitor and then shows it in the History of tasks but nothing prints.

Any idea what's going wrong??

I've been trying to set up a BAM global alert/email to occur when our
receiving dept attempts to receive items on a PO that is unapproved.
I have no experience with BAM and from an earlier post I got some help
from another user who sent me some code he uses on his system. He is
using 6.1 however and I'm on 8.0 and his instructions didn't seem to
follow my version. So, I'm asking anyone with knowledge of how to
setup a global alert/email to help me with detailed instructions.
I've been fighting this for several days now and I'm stumped. There
is a little more to the story I'll be glad to tell to anyone willing
to help me.
Thanks,
Mike

One way to use the BAM is to send an email, or update a csv file
when a field changes. If you want to perform some action on a
receipt, you need to select a field that will change when you make a
receipt. If you only want one action per receipt, not one for each
line, you would have to use the RcvHead file. Pick some field to
use so that when this field is populated, the information you need
is already in the database. Otherwise, it may perform the action you
want before any useful information has been filled in. I would
recommend the packing slip number. So you would send an email when
the Packing Slip > "". In your code, you would get the PO number
and through the POHeader file, check the ApprovalStatus. If it is
<> "A", then you would send the email. In the email you can include
the PO#, Vendor, etc. Aaron Hoyt is the guru on this stuff, and he
was very kind to send me samples of his work. I can send you some
sample code if you want.

Could you send me some sample code as well? I would really appreciate it.

I guess we can't send attachments over this system. If you will email
me at kfmonico@... I will get your complete email address.

Thank you for the kind comments "kfmonico".
I wouldn't call myself the guru, but I will be happy to help if I can be of
help as well.
My experience with 8.0 is very limited though. It's about to start ramping
up in the next couple of months.
Mike, what exactly are the goals of the project and what have been the
results so far?

One way to use the BAM is to send an email, or update a csv file
when a field changes. If you want to perform some action on a

I am trying to pop up a box at the time of receiving if the PO is
unapproved. We will sometimes issue a PO without knowing the cost
up front so the purchasing agent will leave it at zero. When the
items show up at the dock the receiving department will receive the
goods to the PO and that causes a problem in accounting. This is
what I'm trying to prevent. The code that another user sent me
looked exactly like what I want to do but I can't make it work. I
could really use some detailed help to do this thing if anyone would
be willing. So far, I have created a .p file with the code and
entered it onto the line for custom program on the BAM screen but it
doesn't work. Maybe I should be looking for another answer instead
of BAM.
Thanks,
Mike

Can you not write a customization. Use the POHeader table to find the
ApprovalStatus field. You could use wizards to create an event (ie.
upon save) to show your popup box. Your code under the event would be
something like:

If ApprovalStatus <> "A" Then
If ApprovalStatus = "R" Then
otrans.Undo()
Messagebox.Show("This PO has been rejected","Rejected PO")
Else
otrans.Undo()
Messagebox.Show("This PO is not yet approved","Unapproved PO")
End If
End If

If that's not what you are looking for, let me know, and i'll try to
understand what you want.

You cannot utilize message boxes and the like within a BAM on Vantage 8,
as the progress code is executed by the app servers and not on the
client.

We could use the same exact thing for the same exact purpose.

I would be grateful if you could share any info you had on this.

I am trying to create my first BAM. I selected my table, and saved it.
Then when I try to select the field I want to monitor, I get "Field can
not be deleted because it has a related Rule." Where do I go to see
these related rules? We have no other BAMs created at this time. Any
Suggestions?

Purely a guess: Possibly someone has done an app customization and created a Row Rule implicating the specific field you wish your BAM to delete.

Other possibility: A system level BAM (that you might not have visibility to - or at least might not be obviously accessible) is tied to the field... If I remember correctly Change Logs are BAM events in a different wrapper - so it could be a change log process.

I am trying to create my first BAM. I selected my table, and saved it.
Then when I try to select the field I want to monitor, I get "Field can
not be deleted because it has a related Rule." Where do I go to see
these related rules? We have no other BAMs created at this time. Any
Suggestions?

I don't have much experience with BAM's and BAM reports.
I have one created and it fires sending the task to the System Monitor and then shows it in the History of tasks but nothing prints.

Any idea what's going wrong??
