BP Line Item Creator
Type: Integer
Size: 0
Input Type (Input Method): Picker
Use on: Upper or detail form of any business process
Description: Use this definition to create data elements that will automatically create business process line items based on a condition, such as a dollar amount.
You can use multiple BP line item creators on a single BP to create different types of line items.
When the BP reaches the condition in the workflow, the BP creator line item element on the form will automatically create a business process line item on another, existing, record.
Data elements built on the BP Line Item Creator definition are visible on forms in two ways:
- If the Unifier user must manually create the line item, the element appears on the source line item as a text box with a Create button.
- The element will appear as a hyperlink from the source line item to the destination line item.
Note: When line items are created in a BP record via a Line Item Creator, the End step of the BP is used to evaluate data element (DE) formulas that can be applied to calculate the sum of line items, regardless of the workflow step of the BP. For example, a Budget Adjustment BP contains a line item creator that creates one or more line items within a Budget Approval BP record. The Budget Approval BP contains an upper form DE (Budget Adjustments) that sums the Budget Adjustment line items. A Budget Approval BP record is in a workflow step, and on its step Action form, the Budget Adjustments DE contains the formula that calculates the sum of the line items. The End step form of the BP must have the same formula calculation to sum the line items applied to the DE to ensure that the Budget Adjustments DE value reflects the line item creation.
