Ever wondered, how wonderful it would be if you could intercept the standard processing of Sage X3 and make your process work along/instead of it. This can be done through Entry Points.
In this blog we will see how we can setup entry points and use them in the processing. Our focus would be to quickly use and run an entry point and we can explore the details and technicalities in our upcoming blogs on this interesting topic:
Entry point can be setup from:
Development > Processing dictionary > Processings > Entry points
There are certain number of predefined Entry points for a given function or process. One can use these entry points by following the below mentioned steps:
- Enter the name of the desired Entry point in standard processing column.
- Enter the specific processing that would have the code to be triggered when the desired action of the entry point occurs. It is a good practice to have a general specific code file here and then route the actions to the project or add-on specific code file.
- Add Activity code if required.
The processing file should look something like this:
Here “REPORT” and “FILPAT” are the actions triggered in the Entry Point AWRK. You can find extensive information on all available entry points in standard Sage X3 help file.
Hope this helps and you enjoy using Entry points as much as I did.
