How to update the fields in the signature history table for a custom workflow.

$

In Sage X3, workflows are used to automate and streamline business processes by defining a sequence of tasks that need to be performed in a specific order. These tasks can involve approvals, reviews, or other actions necessary for the completion of a business process. Workflows in Sage X3 help organizations enforce consistency, reduce manual intervention, and improve efficiency.

In Sage X3, you can assign multiple signatures in a workflow on different objects to implement a multi-level approval process. This allows for more complex and controlled workflows, where different users or groups need to review and approve various stages of a business process. But when we create the custome workflow the signature history is not getting the proper flow the flags are not updated.

Here’s a step-by-step description of how to update the fields in the signature history table for a custom workflow in Sage X3:

STEP 1:-

Workflow Setup:  First, you need to define the workflow itself. Go to the –>>”Workflow Setup” screen in Sage X3,  where you can create and configure the workflow according to your business requirements.

Specify the objects for which you want to implement the workflow, such as purchase orders, sales orders, or expense reports.

STEP2:

After clicking on workflow rules,

Jump to: Assignment Rule: Create a New Assignment Rule

Signature Assignment: Once you have defined the signature levels, you can assign the relevant users or user groups to each level. This is done based on the roles and responsibilities of the users in your organization. Sage X3 allows you to easily select the appropriate users or groups from your system’s user database

STEP 3:-

-After clicking on the Assignment Rule display below the

-Enter the name of the assignment rule, the data model, and Number of ignatures.

-The “number of signatures” field specifies how many signatures will be used throughout the approval process.

Fig 1. Assignment Rules

STEP 4:-

After all the creation processes Save and validate the assignment rule and workflow rule.

                                                Fig 2. Signature History

STEP 5:-

After completing all the creation processes and successfully triggering the workflow to the next user, such as ‘TEST2,’ we observed in the signature history, as shown in Figure 4, that the signed flag was updated to ‘To sign.’ However, when the user modified the order and saved it, the workflow was triggered again with the updated order, and the signed flag was updated to ‘Cancelled,’ and the reason flag was updated to ‘Document modified.’ However, for the custom workflow, the signatures history table is not updated automatically, as is the case with the standard workflow. Therefore, we need to manually update the flag in the table.

   Fig 3. Store requisition

                                                Fig 4. Signature History

STEP 6:-

The signatures history data is stored in the ‘AWRKPARF’ workflow rules (signature) table. Therefore, we need to write code to update the flag during the modification process. After writing the code, the ‘Signed’ and ‘Reason’ flags are updated successfully. Refer to the below Figure 6.

This blog help us to know about the use By implementing multiple signatures in workflows on different objects, Sage X3 enables you to create sophisticated approval processes that align with your organization’s specific requirements. This promotes better control, compliance, and efficiency in handling critical business operations an how to update the signature history table flags for the custom workflow .

The “Pegging History” tool allows the history elements to be shown both upstream (what does the order cover?) and downstream (what covers the order?) from a “pivotal” order. In the second grid, under the multi-level option, the list of coverages is suggested if the selected “pivot” is of the required type.

The “Pegging History” functionality tries to meet the following requirements:

Memorization of the connections between resources and requirements, the effects of resource changes on the requirements they cover, and the renewal of the planned quantities.

The following functions are concerned for the moment:

Workbench, groupings, automatic release, direct order, automatic deletion and WO management.

Navigate to: Manufacturing –> Utilities –> Pegging history. (Refer to the below fig)

In Sage X3, workflow auditing involves tracking and recording the changes made to any documents as they progress through the workflow. This is useful for maintaining transparency, ensuring compliance, and identifying any discrepancies or issues in the process. Below are general steps to set up and perform workflow auditing on sales orders in Sage X3

*Note: We will be using the “Sales Orders” table (SORDER) in this example, but you can apply these methods to any table/fields you choose.

Access Rights: Ensure that users involved in the sales order workflow have appropriate access rights to view and edit sales orders. This includes access to the workflow and relevant screens.

Define Workflow: Define the sales order workflow in Sage X3. This involves specifying the different stages through which a sales order passes.

Set up workflow rules and conditions to determine how the sales order should progress through each stage.

Audit Configuration: In Sage X3, configure audit settings to capture changes made to sales orders. This may include changes to order status, quantities, prices, customer details, and other relevant information.

Audit tab
Fig01: Audit tab

Audit configuration settings can usually be found in the Administration module.

Enable Audit Trails: Activate audit trails for sales orders. This is typically done in the parameters or settings related to auditing within Sage X3.

Define which specific fields or actions you want to track in the sales order audit trail.

Audit Reports: Utilize Sage X3’s reporting capabilities to generate audit reports for sales orders. These reports should provide a comprehensive view of all changes made to sales orders within the specified timeframe.

Common audit reports may include details such as user activity, date and time of changes, and the nature of the modifications.

Monitoring and Alerts: Set up monitoring and alert systems to notify relevant users or administrators of significant changes or actions within the sales order workflow.

Alerts can be configured based on specific criteria, such as the approval of high-value orders or changes to critical order information.

Understanding Class Management in Sage X3

$

Have you ever wondered how software systems like Sage X3 efficiently manage data entities, such as customers, products, and sales orders? The answer lies in the concept of classes, a crucial component of the Sage X3 ecosystem. In this blog, we will explore the intricacies of class management within Sage X3 and how it plays a pivotal role in structuring and handling data entities.

Introduction:

At the heart of Sage X3’s data management lies the concept of classes. A class serves as a blueprint for managing various entities, ranging from customers to general ledger entries, products, sales orders, and more. In this blog, we will delve into the details of class management, its components, and its significance within Sage X3.

Class Essentials:

In Sage X3, classes are essential for structuring and managing data entities. The information within a class is organized into distinct sections, each serving a specific purpose. These sections include:

1. Header Information:

   – Contains details for identifying the class, including header code, description, and type.

2. General Section:

   – Describes the primary information related to the class, including management mode, type, and more.

3. Main Table:

   – Defines the primary database table used when the class is persistent and details about the main index.

4. Additional Information:

   – Includes activity codes, technical module associations, cache settings, search-ability, and more.

5. Collection:

   – Describes class collections, their attributes, and settings.

6. Scripts:

   – Adding custom code related to supervisor events, especially for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) management.

7. Methods Section:

   – Defines additional methods and operations available for the class, distinguishing between operations and methods.

8. Standard Methods Section:

   – Describes the availability of standard CRUD methods and other methods supported by the supervisor layer on the class.

9. Properties Section:

   – Lists and defines the properties associated with the class, including data types, menus, control tables, and more.

10. Mapping Section:

    – Specifies how CRUD operations are linked to the database tables, including the main table and child classes.

11. Miscellaneous Section:

    – Contains additional information for access rights, filters, history, and linked objects.

Class Management:

Class management in Sage X3 involves configuring the class to ensure data integrity, optimize performance, and enable seamless data interactions. This section covers settings like reading, creation, modification, deletion, filters, and more.

Validation:

One of the critical aspects of class management is validation, where the class description is checked for global consistency. During validation, code generation occurs, creating scripts and business logic associated with CRUD operations. It’s important to note that any generated program should not be modified, as it will be automatically recreated during validation.

Hierarchy:

The hierarchy feature offers a visual representation of class relationships. This is particularly useful for understanding how classes are connected and how data flows within Sage X3.

In the world of Sage X3, class management is the backbone of data entity handling. Understanding the intricacies of classes and their various components is essential for optimizing data management, maintaining data integrity, and ensuring efficient data interactions within your Sage X3 system.

As you venture further into the world of Sage X3, a strong grasp of class management will empower you to harness the full potential of this powerful enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. Whether you’re configuring classes for customers, products, or other data entities, the knowledge shared in this blog will serve as your guiding light.

Carry-forward of commitments functionality in sage X3

$

0

Carrying forward commitments in Sage X3 typically refers to the process of transferring or rolling over outstanding commitments from one accounting period to the next. Commitments often represent planned or anticipated expenses that have not been realized or invoiced yet.

The commitment carryforward feature transfers commitments associated with a sales order from the final period of one fiscal year to the initial period of the subsequent year.

This feature is utilized to postpone unresolved pre-commitments and commitments from the fiscal year that concludes to the beginning of the next fiscal year.

To access this function navigate to :

Financials -> Financials -> Budgets -> Carryforward of commitments

Figure 1: Navigation page

The procedure is executed through a company-specific query (BUOCMMREP) designed to identify purchase request and order lines currently in progress, not yet reconciled for a fiscal year, to carry them forward to the next fiscal year under “Operating budgets/Budget closing/Commitments deferring.”

Figure 2: Selection criteria

The header information on the screen is utilized to define the primary selection criteria: the Company and the fiscal year for which the entry manages the start and end dates. It also governs the update of the receiving fiscal year along with its start and end dates.

To refine the selection and limit the objects to be examined, additional criteria can be applied:

  1. Site Ranges: Only the sites linked to the specified company are visible in the selection.
  2. Document types: The selection can be narrowed down to either purchase orders or orders only. By default, both documents meeting the criteria are displayed.

Activating the “Display/Refresh” key reveals the list of budget envelopes corresponding to the selection in the table.

The selection is capped at a maximum of 500 lines. If this limit is exceeded, a “full grid” message signals that the selection surpasses the authorized 500 lines. Clicking “OK” displays the initial 500 lines. To reduce the selection, utilize additional criteria such as Sites and Document Types.

After inputting the chosen criteria and triggering the “Display/Actualize” function, the designated purchase lines are presented in a grid, which may or may not be utilized for initiating the carry-forward process.

The displayed columns serve an informative purpose, presenting details such as document type, document number, date, commitments, envelope, entity, account, amount to defer, currency, and budget. Modification of these columns is not permitted, with the exception of the following:

  1. Defer Column: The selection of all displayed purchase lines can be executed in a single operation by clicking on “Check/Uncheck all.” This selection can be reversed using the same button.
  2. Detail column: The magnifying glass icon facilitates direct access to the purchase request or order.

Contextual buttons, accessible through a right-click and selection within the list, serve the following purposes:

  • Sorting purchase lines by document number, envelope number, entity, and account budget.
  • Accessing details related to the order, envelope, and pre-commitments or commitment.

Figure 4: Carryforward commitments

At the conclusion of a fiscal year, certain purchase requests (those not yet ordered or only partially ordered) and some orders that haven’t been invoiced or are only partially invoiced will be either ordered or invoiced in the subsequent fiscal year. To accommodate this, purchase requests and orders that have become obsolete and were closed before the fiscal year-end, along with any remaining pre-commitments and commitments, need to be deferred to the new fiscal year. This ensures the ability to:

1.Place an order based on a purchase request from the prior fiscal year,

2.Issue an invoice based on an order from the prior fiscal year, and

3.Include the corresponding budget in the budget lines of the new fiscal year.

The carry-forward process for outstanding pre-commitments and commitments involves two steps:

1.Choose the purchase lines to carry forward using the BUOCMMREP function (Operating budgets/Budget closing/Carry-forward of commitments),

2.Display the selection result in a grid, allowing the budget manager to select the pre-commitments and commitments to process.

The deferral of pre-commitments and commitments represents the third or fourth stage of budget closing, and the fiscal year-end process for GRNI can be performed either before or after the deferral of outstanding pre-commitments and commitments.

The carry forward of commitments is a vital function that facilitates the seamless transition of outstanding purchase lines from one fiscal year to the next in Sage X3. By allowing users to select and defer commitments through a user-friendly interface, this feature ensures accurate financial planning and tracking across different fiscal periods. The detailed grid display and interactive options, such as checking/unchecking all and accessing detailed information, enhance the efficiency of the carry forward process, contributing to a more streamlined and transparent budget management system.
