Hi
I'm trying to convert an application to alpha 5. So far so good and I really like what I see in alpha 5. However, I'm now stuck and been trying to find a solution for a while to no avail.
I'll try to keep it as simple as possible....
The application is for a personnel placement agency.
I have a table where every line is a service call. On the line, you have the name of the employee, the client's name, the hourly rate and more.
What I want to do is to use the information on those line to produce an invoice every week for every client. The invoice would contain many of those lines because multiple service calls can be made in a week with different employees. So far so good I've been able to do that.
Now once the invoice has been made, I want those services calls lines to be locked from further changes. Also I want to be able to manage accounts receivables.
In the old software I was using, the "post" operation would do that. It would take all unposted transactions and process them in a batch to output invoices. Those transactions would then be moved from the original table to another table preventing any changes.
Is it possible to do that and manage accounts receivable in alpha 5? If so, can I kind soul point me in the right direction because I'm lost for now? The post function in alpha five doesn't seem to let me do this. The way it's explained, it's just to add up numbers...maybe I'm wrong?
Thank you all
