AROBS

[ramam1]

Hey folks,

What is the role of AROBPS (accpac erp500 5.5a)?

It seems to be mostly a subset of AROBL but with the addition of a few fields relating to payment and discounts and another tidbit or two.

Also is this documented somewhere (I often have this question).

thanks!

AROBS = document schedule payments.
Yes it is documented somewhere.

I'm still laughing at this response - very helpful E

But seriously perhaps you would be willing to share with me _where_ I might find some such documentation?

thanks!

Thanks Tuba. I use the AOM quite a bit when trying to figure out the application logic. Perhaps it's me but I sometimes find it does not suffice for me to figure out what the appropriate interpretation is. For example in this case I was trying to determine under what conditions an entry would be added or modified in AROBS. Normally I watch what Accpac does when I need to automate or extend a behavior but that's not always convenient. I've read all the relevant user, admin, SDK, XAPI docs and even the Red Maple stuff. Nothing really goes into any detail - by far the best I've found is reading the schema documentation (AOM) and then spying or recording the UI driven activities. I was hoping for something else.
cheers

Use RVSPY, that's how everyone else learns.
