Batch Sales Order Line Processing Command Line Options

Batch creation can be invoked from outside the Batch Sales Order Line Processing process by the use of command line parameters. This can be done in a number of ways.

• By adding a menu function within another application.
• By adding a custom button to another process within another application.
• By adding menu parameters to an instance of the Batch Sales Order Line Processing menu item within the Distribution Advantage application.

The third case differs from the other two as it may be used within a running instance of the Distribution Advantage application without creating another instance of the application. This effectively move the task selection list to the DA base menu allowing a new batch to be created directly from the menu.

Either of the first two cases may be used with to create a batch from within another application (e.g. from the EXO Business core application or EXO Business Sales Orders).

The command line parameters in these cases are of the form:

DA.exe <login> BP /TASK=<task number>

Where <integer> is the internal task number shown on the task setup header bar. e.g. in the following instance use :

/TASK=13

The individual sales order method of creating a batch may be used in the form:

DA.exe <login> BP /SO=<order number>

When using within the menu of Distribution Advantage itself, use the Batch Sales Order Line Processing menu item with parameters of the form:

/TASK=<task number>
