Hi All, As you may know from, Acumatica events are triggered in the specific sequence. But there is sequence not only for event types, events for different row and field will be triggered within a specific sequence too. Rows With rows it is a bit easy:Insert/Update happens in the sequence how it was triggered. If you update a value it will trigger an event sequence for specific cache that was updated. In case event updates other caches, that they will be triggered also as soon as cache.Update/Insert/Delete is called.Save/Delete happens for primary cache first as it is associated with the button, than it will call PXParent Attributes in the sequence… Read more

Hi All, As you know Acumatica page submits all data to the server though different callbacks. This is good for network performance, but brings some limitations – like redirection. Unfortunately it is not possible to use Response.Redirect() during the callbacks as browser script does not expect it and can’t properly react. To solve some of these issues Acumatica uses different exceptions (like PXRedirectRequiredException, PXReportRequiredException and so on). These Exceptions will be handled by base code (Callback Manager) and translated to text commands that will be handled in JavaScript. For instance, PXRedirectRequiredException(WindowMode.New, SuppressFramceset = false) will be translated to eRedirect3:+<SomeURL>. You can read more about this mechanism here. This code is… Read more

Hi All, A short but useful article today – PXGraph is a center of the whole business logic in Acumatica framework and can be triggered from different places: UI, Web Services API, Mobile, Import and so on. As a developer you sometimes need to know what is the context of the request you are processing right now, so you can adjust the business logic. For this purpose PXGraph has a set of flags that are automatically triggered during different operations. Here they are: graph.IsImport – flag will be automatically set when Import/Export engine is working. This will be true for Import/Export scenarios, Web Services, Copy/Paste action, Mobile. So almost all… Read more

Hi All, Show example for you today – how to remove action from menu based on example of ChangeID function in CustomerMaint graph. Problem If you take VendorMaint and try to find who ChangeID is declared there you will be able to find following code: So you can see here that ChangeID button is added as a menu to the Action button. This works pretty well accordingly to example with adding sub-menu actions here. Now the question – what if we need to remove or hide this action? We can’t use automation steps as they cannot make button invisible. We cannot use PXUIFieldAttribute on ChangeID as this button is already… Read more

Hi Everyone, Sometimes you need to have a screen with 2 grids that depend on each other. When you change line in one grid, it should refresh records in another. In this case you need to establish Grids Master-Detail relationship. In general master-detail relationship for grids is almost the same as for form-grid. You can read more about it in T200 Framework Fundamentials Training Guide, Example 2.2, Setting Up the Master-Detail Relationship Between DataAs a summary from the training, we need to do 3 points Put PXDBDefault attributes in child DAC to auto-initialize dependent keys. Put PXParent attribute in child DAC to allow cascade deletion and few other functions. Use… Read more
