Does anybody know of a source for flow charts and/or other diagrams of Platinum 4.2a posting processes?
When I first started working with the backend of Platinum Financials, I was suprised to find that such a customizable application is so poorly documented. Tracing through the stored procedures is tedious at best. The documentation that is available only lightly defines tables and stored procedures. It does not define the step by step logic behind the posting process.
Epicor doesn't even have any documentation. Their only knowledge of the detailed inner workings of 4.2a is in their programmer's heads and not in print.
The company I work for is NOT in a position to upgrade to a newer version of Platinum at this time.
If I'm not the only person with this issue, I may be able to help others with whatever info I was able to document. I can't make any promises that I know anything different than the rest of you. Maybe some sort of support network could be created for those still using 4.2 (or 4.2a)
