Unlocking Acumatica: Overcoming Invoice Limitations
This video explores common limitations with Acumatica invoices and showcases a solution developed by Tayana Solutions to address these pain points.
(a) Challenges with Acumatica Invoices
Acumatica users often encounter situations where they need to edit key details on an invoice, such as the date, salesperson, or payment terms, after the invoice status changes from “Balanced”.
However, Acumatica’s default behavior prevents users from editing these fields once the invoice status changes, creating frustration and inefficiency.
This limitation can lead to real-world problems for clients who discover errors after an invoice is sent out, requiring workarounds and causing headaches for all parties involved.
(b) Tayana Solution: Customized Invoice Editing
Tayana Solutions, the largest services partner with Acumatica Cloud ERP, developed a solution that overrides Acumatica’s default behavior and allows users to edit date, salesperson, and payment term fields regardless of invoice stat
This solution, created by Associate Software Engineer Noor, utilizes technical approaches like taxi field attributes and modifications to specific Acumatica functions like the Catra invoice function and row selected event.
Noor’s approach focuses on user needs, addressing the frustration caused by the invoice limitation and providing a practical fix.
The solution involves careful consideration of potential ripple effects on other parts of the system, ensuring that the customization doesn’t create new problems.
