hmtoggle_plus1Introduction

The Validation Configuration can be opened in the following ways:

 

- Right-click, Usability Package Icon b1up-icon > "Setup Overview" > "New Validation".

Administration > Add-Ons > B1 Usability Package > Module Configuration > Beas customizing Administration.

 

A validation configuration is always window-related. Therefore, the corresponding window must be open.

 

Options for Validation Configuration:

- Actions while loading, saving, adding, or deleting data, e.g. checking whether an entry is correct.

- Actions while editing a field e.g. checking content.

- Actions by mouse-clicks (Left, right, and double-click with Shift, Ctrl, or a combination of both).

- Actions by key stroke, also in combination with Shift, Ctrl, or both.

 

Furthermore, non-window related processes are customizable.

- Customization of processes e.g. creating work orders or time receipts in work orders.

- Determination of accounts, cost types for WIP (Work In Progress) bookings etc.

 

Window Structure

A validation consists of 3 areas:

1. Description of the validation (describe the validation),

2. Description of the event to be monitored (define the event),

3. Description of the activity that has to be executed (define the action).

This is the easiest way to respond to events: beas script.

As soon as the event occurs, the code stored there is executed directly.

 

Various wizards facilitate the creation of the script.

 

Return:

If the script ends with "return failure", then the subsequent processes in the event is not executed and the entire event is aborted (e.g. Delete, Update, Close)

Principle: by returning an SQL statement, it is determined which universal function should be called.

 

1. First the universal function has to be defined.

2. An SQL statement is defined, which returns a value depending on the condition. Using the "Magic Wand" function makes the SQL statement easy to create.

3. The table below defines which universal function should be executed.
