Commands That Require a Commit
There are two types of elements on an MYOB Acumatica form: elements with a commit, and elements without a commit. A commit is an action initiated by the form that, when triggered, sends the data to the server. On the server, the commit causes all data on the form to be updated, including the insertion of default values and the recalculation of the values of elements on the form.
A commit is a costly operation that causes the browser to make requests to the server and takes server time. As such, a commit is invoked for only a limited number of elements: mainly the key elements and the elements the other elements depend on.
true. You can check the value of the
Commit property when you are debugging an application if you insert a
breakpoint in the code after an array of commands has been configured. In the following
screenshot, you can see that for the command that sets the value of the Customer
ID element on the Customers (AR303000) form, the
Commit property of the LinkedCommand is set to
true. (The Customer ID element has the internal field
name AcctCD.)
If the Commit property is false, the element is filled in
with data but no update of the form is invoked. If the Commit property is
true, after the element is filled in, the commit is invoked on the server and
the form is updated.
For example, when you select a customer class on the Customers form, the system assigns values
to the elements related to customer class settings, such as Statement Cycle
ID and Country. When you configure a sequence of commands
for setting the values of elements on the Customers form, for elements such as
Customer, the system automatically sets the Commit
property of LinkedCommand to true.
In most cases, when you compose the sequence of commands, you can use the values of the
Commit property that are set by default. However, you may need to force the
system to invoke a commit to the server—for example, when you need to commit the value of
the field before entering another field value. In such cases, you should set the
Commit property to true for the command or action.
