Document Validation V2
Introduction to Document Validation
Document validation is an iDempiere plugin that helps you prevent human error. It gives you the ability to create validation tests that:- offers the user detailed feedback about the document (info)
- requires the user to accept "potentially" incorrect situations (warn)
- prevents the user from acting on known incorrect situations (fail)
Installation
- Download the installation files from the Document Validation Base project => Source link => downloads folder
- Install the 01_plugin (jar) via the felix console with a start level of 5
- Install the 02_packin (zip) to create the main windows and configuration.
- Install the 03_packin (zip) to add configuration records in the configuration tables (created in the previous step)
- Download the installation files from the Document Validation Sample project => Source link => downloads folder
- Install the plugin (jar) via the felix console with a start level of 5
- Open the Table and Column window => find the "C_Order" record => open the Tab sub-tab
- Create a new Column record with a system element of "ChuBoe_Validate" and a process of "Document Validation".
- NOTE - com.chuboe.validation.base.event => MyEventHandler.java shows all the tables you can add "ChuBoe_Validate" to. Doing so automatically invokes validation during the DocAction.
- Log in as your business client admin. NOTE: be sure to see the demo below for more details!
- Create a Standard Order => Sales Order record with one charge line (no product).
- Validate the Sales Order to see the issues. Open the Document Validation window to see the detailed results.
- Complete the Sales Order to see validation automatically invoke.
- Remove or modify the Sample project (via felix console) to remove the sample validation tests.
