Scheduling posting program to run automatically

[Jeff73]

Hi list!

Could anyone please tell me how to go about scheduling a posting program to run automatically once its status is "Approved"? Either right away after it's been approved or at some later particular time. I am more interested in AP batches?

Would it also be possible to automate updating payments instead of having user enter 4 next to every one at a time?

Thank you guys,
J.

Yes, you can automate updating payments. What we do is run a master cl at
8:00 at night that processes various versions of the P09800, including
posting of accounts payable voucher batches. We have a version of P09800
setup for batch type V that picks up all batches - if a batch not approved,
it will be skipped (handled by JDE). We use the ROBOT scheduling software
to schedule the submission/execution of this nightly CLP.

I would like to set up a menu in XE to call world Jobs passing in parameters via the Processing Option is this possible? If so then what steps need to be done?

Sorry, John, to bother you again with this...

I'm considering doing the same thing to schedule payment posting overnight. However, when it comes to payments, it looks to me like there's this Update step before posting. What I want to do is to automate the update itself as soon as the check's written. In other words, as soon as the payment is written, it gets updated and (via the processing option) posted to the GL. I would like to not see anything with UPD status...

If I send P04257 to a robot, that's going to write checks, I guess, which I don't want. And sending P09800 for batch type K will post directly, which is going to miss all the stuff that the Update does prior to posting...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
J.

Jeff,
I don't think you can do the update posting automatically. You want to
be sure that the checks/payments have been processed correctly before you
run the Update option on an A/P payment group.
