Progress .R file

Sometime ago someone created a process that is run via System Agent overnight (12:02am) that creates invoices from shipments that happened the previous day and puts them into an AR Invoice group for the Finance team to process. It is a .R file and there is no sign of the .P file for it anywhere.

Two things, firstly, I am reading that there is no decompiler available for Progress .R files in order to see what the code is or am i mistaken?

Secondly, if the above is true, does anyone know how i could replicate the above mentioned process for Kinetic?

Many thanks. :beers:

Look at the Generate Shipments process.

You can schedule that in task agent, then the next morning the users can open the specific group and print and post them.

Or Alternatively

Generate the group with Generate Shipment Invoices, mass print (if you have routing setup it could email the invoices), then post them using a process set.

If you wanted to do it the hard way and replicate the process. Then you can do it with a scheduled function, but the standard OOB method works fine…Don’t waste your time building one.

Ooh that looks like it could work, not sure i want to go down the route of the hard way :rofl:

So i setup similar to the below and save the process set and then schedule them like we would have done in the E9 Task Agent?

If you mess up adding each task to the process set you can delete them from the process set maintenance an re add
