Does anyone know of any mentions about if/when BPM Forms or similar may or may not be supported from Epicor Functions similar to what is available from BPMs?
I understand with the new Kinetic UIs we can build essentially the same with slide out pages for Epicor Function workflows that BPM forms have been traditionally used for but it’s a lot more steps and solution complexity to maintain than BPM forms.
An example of one scenario where I would like to be able to leverage the Epicor Function capabilities in addition to a BPM is to add a ‘Get ABN Details’ button to a Supplier Maintenance form that calls a REST service to check the ABN (Australian Business Number) and then returns the results to the user via a BPM form with a prompt for whether the user would like the system to update the supplier name and tax details to match that of what’s returned from the service if they don’t already match. It’s something we’ve been able to do via a more complex UI → BPM pattern but it would be a lot better if we could easily just create a re-usable Epicor Function for the purpose.
