Customization Process
Produmex Manufacturing is a legacy product and Boyum IT Solutions no longer sells new installations for it.
The customization process for the Produmex mobile applications consists of the following steps:
- Enable the Customization Assist mode and run the client application. Check the customization information of the screen.
- Create the custom field and/or the SAP user query.
- Restart the client application and check the results of the customization.
Many screens of Produmex mobile applications are customizable with SAP Business One’s queries. The used query have to be named specifically based on the screen it is used on. The query names, and parameters can be found with the help of the 'Customization Assist'. The query result column names indicate which fields to set.
Supported customization types:
- Preset field data
- Validation: The system checks if the entered values are correct during a ‘validate’ or a ‘button’ event.
- Add new fields/Hide existing fields
