BPM Blank Title 63103

You would not want to do a Base method as it would stop the normal processing. Pre-Processing is before the write happens and Post is after.

A method directive is a set of conditions and actions associated with a specific business object method. If the specified conditions are met, the actions are executed. Actions can be executed at three times:
Pre-Processing -The actions are executed before the base method is executed. After the actions are finished, the system executes the base method.
Base Processing -The actions are executed in place of the base method. The base method is never executed.
Post-Processing -The actions are executed after the base method has executed completely.

Once you have your condition you need an action. Sometimes it is easier to put in the action, so you know it happens, then put the conditions on it.

Hello,



We are on Vantage 8.03.305K.



Since the introduction of BPM, I've been excited as to what this tool
can provided. At the same time, I've been disappointed at the
documentation associated with this tool. I've tried a couple of times to
create a BPM that enforces some of our work flow rules and haven't had
any luck.



Is anyone out there using BPM and if so, did you find any information on
how to use it?

Ya. I should have mentioned that I have that but I didn't find it very
useful.

I was trying to create a BPM that would prevent a PO receipt if the PO
line unit cost was zero and also display an alert to the receiver. None
of the examples were helpful so I had to create a customization.

Now I'm try to put some "teeth" on the Part Hold checkbox in part
maintenance and I'm revisiting BPM.

you know when I get it done. Not sure If I am going to use BPM or
Customization yet.

Sure...... place the burden upon the poor receiving person confined to
the bowels of the operation..... (walked in them shoes before :o)

Why not put the check for zero unit cost up at the purchasing level ?

no criticism - just wondering.

I posted in on Yahoo.

I created a new folder called Vantage 8.X Customizations.



Just keep in mind that the code is not polished. It works great for new
receipts but if you need to go back and change a receipt it may get a
little buggy. In the past, I've had to either load the screen without
the customization or delete the receipt and start over.



Also, if the user is stopped from receipt the product, they would delete
the pack slip and try again once the problem is fixed. That what you
don't have a bunch of pack slips with no lines.

This is actually trying to take the burden off the shipping/receiveing guy.

The problem is that many things get ordered and delivered before purchasing
can react to following up on the pricing. In a perfect word, all PO's would
have a price when ordered.

Here is a BPM. This will give an message if you attempt to receive a
purchase order with a PO line with zero unit cost.

On the Receipt.GetPendingDtl Method -

PreProcessing Action - enable dependent post process directives

PostProcessing Condition - this directive has been enabled from the
(above) directive and number of rows in the 'Test for Zero $ PO Line'
query is not less than 1

Here is the Query:

FOR EACH ttPendingRcvDtl , EACH PODetail WHERE PODetail.PONUM =
ttPendingRcvDtl.PONum AND PoDetail.POLine = ttPendingRcvDtl.POLine AND
PODetail.UnitCost = 0

Action, either raise an exception or an informational message - your
choice



Just wrote it quick and a quick test, seems to work

In our case there could be a lapse in the time it takes to enter a PO
(in order to get a PO number) and when the vendor replies with a cost.
Sometimes the vendor will ship the product before they send us the cost
or, more likely, the buyer forgets to go back and update the cost before
the product comes in. (I know that each of these indicates additional
external problems :) )



Because there is a legitimate need to sometimes enter a PO line with
zero cost, we thought we would put the check at the receipt end.

Action, either raise an exception or an informational message - your
choice

I could use the same thing but with a slight twist. I do not want it to
be received it the Unapproved, Unconfirmed or Hold boxes are checked.
Has anyone done this?

This is actually trying to take the burden off the shipping/receiveing
guy.

The problem is that many things get ordered and delivered before
purchasing
can react to following up on the pricing. In a perfect word, all PO's
would
have a price when ordered.

Sure...... place the burden upon the poor receiving person confined to
the bowels of the operation..... (walked in them shoes before :o)

Why not put the check for zero unit cost up at the purchasing level ?

no criticism - just wondering.

I posted in on Yahoo.

I created a new folder called Vantage 8.X Customizations.

Just keep in mind that the code is not polished. It works great for new
receipts but if you need to go back and change a receipt it may get a
little buggy. In the past, I've had to either load the screen without
the customization or delete the receipt and start over.

Also, if the user is stopped from receipt the product, they would delete
the pack slip and try again once the problem is fixed. That what you
don't have a bunch of pack slips with no lines.

Ya. I should have mentioned that I have that but I didn't find it very

I was trying to create a BPM that would prevent a PO receipt if the PO
line unit cost was zero and also display an alert to the receiver. None
of the examples were helpful so I had to create a customization.

Now I'm try to put some "teeth" on the Part Hold checkbox in part

Joe -

It depends, if the PostProcessing Action is "show informational message
based on the designed template" then a warning is displayed after the
Packing Line number is entered. if the Action is "raise exception based
on the designed template" then nothing can be received. The packing
slip is prevented from being saved. If you need more detail, contact me
directly.

Dale - If you want to test information on the POHeader, than I would
write a separate Query

This is a new problem since our conversion to 8.03. If a PO has been
received, then any price changes are not reflected during invoicing.
Has anyone else had this problem and discovered a fix?

I would say this is by design.

If this happens, we end up deleting the receipt, fixing the po, and
re-receive.

It gets worse if the receipt went through inspection because then you
can't delete the receipt.

Subject: [Vantage] PO Price changes after receipt



This is a new problem since our conversion to 8.03. If a PO has been
received, then any price changes are not reflected during invoicing.
Has anyone else had this problem and discovered a fix?

Regards,

Andrew Best

Joe -

It depends, if the PostProcessing Action is "show informational message
based on the designed template" then a warning is displayed after the
Packing Line number is entered. if the Action is "raise exception based
on the designed template" then nothing can be received. The packing
slip is prevented from being saved. If you need more detail, contact me
directly.

Dale - If you want to test information on the POHeader, than I would
write a separate Query
