Unlocking Acumatica: Making Notes Appear on Printed Reports
This video explores the challenge of providing real-time updates through printed documents and how Acumatica can be used to create a solution with dynamic QR codes.
(a) Challenges:
- Clients often require specific functionalities that may seem impossible to achieve within the confines of standard software capabilities.
- Integrating real-time data updates with static printed materials presents a significant hurdle.
- Standard QR codes typically link to a single, static URL, making live updates challenging.
(b) Solution and Benefits:
The Approach:
- Utilize Acumatica’s Generic Inquiry tool to build a dynamic query that fetches the latest shipment data for specific orders.
- Generate QR codes containing a unique identifier instead of a direct URL.
- When scanned, the code triggers a custom API call back to Acumatica.
- The API leverages the unique code from the QR code to retrieve live data from the Generic Inquiry.
Advantages:
- Real-time Updates:Clients can access the most up-to-date shipment information directly from printed invoices.
- Enhanced Customer Experience: Provides a seamless and convenient way for customers to stay informed.
- Hidden Connection:Creates a bridge between physical documents and live Acumatica data.
- Showcases Expertise: Demonstrates the ability to leverage Acumatica’s components in innovative ways.
- Expands Possibilities: Encourages exploration of creative solutions to seemingly impossible client requests.
