Here’s a great time-saving project I recently did. I had a customer who wanted a button on a screen in their Acumatica system to launch the Journal Entry window. Not only did it launch the window, they wanted that screen loaded with data provided from the source page of the button. So, I built a button and placed it next to a field on a custom ASPX Form/Detail page in their system.
How to build the Acumatica custom button
- Create a button on the graph to handle the button press logic and launch the target screen (in this case the Journal Entry Screen)
- Edit the ASPX page to handle the call back
- Edit the ASPX page to add the button
Code for your graph:
Code for ASPX Page
This will enable the screen call back to the graph. TYPENAME should be the class name of your graph.
Within the PXFORMVIEW section add a layout rule to enable the screen to merge the field and the custom button on the same horizontal line. Add the PXButton element directly under the field and make sure the CommandName is targeting the method created on the graph.
This is what the form page would look like. Pressing the VIEW JE button will launch the Journal Entry screen with the GL100020 already loaded.
You can also experiment with a pop up style launch of the JE screen by using this line below.
throw new PXPopupRedirectException( graph, “Journal Entry”);
