It certainly could, all depends on your processing delay time and how long you'd expect an user to hang on to a particular record in a form..try it out..

I hadn't thought of that Rob.
My experiences with Post Processing BPMs, especially with SaleOrder BO,
is that they usually result in "Record has been modified" errors. Do the
asynchronous code get around this?

Could you do a post process with that same bpm (maybe do an asynchronous
ABL code) to come back around and change cb12 back to false after the
initial values are set to true?

Subject: [Vantage] Trying to control auto printing
Hi All,
We are using the auto printing in Epicor 9.05.702 to automatically send
out sales order acknowledgements when a sales order is taken off of
hold.
The auto print rule prints to APM and APM sends the acknowledgement out.
To prevent the sales order acknowledgement from being sent more than one
time, I'm using a UD checkbox to trigger the BAM auto print rule on
OrderHed.
I'm setting this UD field with a BPM when the hold field goes from true
to false.
When the hold goes from true to false, the BPM sets Checkbox05 AND
Checkbox12 to true. The BAM sees Checkbox12 as true and the auto print
runs.
I have another BPM that looks for any subsequent change to OrderHed,
when made from Order Entry, and if Checkbox05 AND Checkbox12 are true
than it sets Checkbox12 to false so that the BAM will not run again.
The problem I'm running into is that if any change is made to OrderHed
outside of Sales Order Entry, then my BPM doesn't trigger to clear
Checkbox12 and the acknowledgement goes out again.
I thought of using a data directive but data directives do not trigger
BAMs and, according to Epicor, BAMs run before data directives so while
I can probably prevent a 3rd order acknowledgement from going out, I
will probably have a max of 2, which doesn't help the issue.
Is anyone else doing something similar or have any ideas on have to
achieve what I'm looking for?
A one-time only auto print of the sales order acknowledgement.
