Acumatica Business Events - Create, Subscribe and Get Notified

Acumatica Business Events was introduced in 2018 R1, much anticipated feature for business to notify Acumatica users with custom business event notification.

Think about using these events for a business scenario
For example: Send an email notification based on Generic Inquiry (which pulls data from multiple sources/tables) and based on the results/records you can then trigger to send email or mobile notifications or have a scheduler based event to send emails.


Configuration: Acumatica business events allows you to configure on existing screen or new screens created via Generic inquires or custom screens, giving users flexibility to query the system and use the record-set to trigger based on field change value or record inserted or updated event Or you can schedule to run based on scheduler subscriber and notify the users.
I'm using record inserted event here as an example.

Notify Subscriber: It allows to subscribe to either email notification or mobile notifications which I find it very interesting as you can send mobile alerts/app notifications on to your favorite android or iphone devices.
Here is an example to send notification if a user places a Purchase order with $1 million.

I haven't tried the import scenario but I guess we could trigger to run an import scenario on scheduled basis to import web orders or other relevant data from FTP or file based systems.

Finally you can see the list/log of events being fired via view history and ensure people are getting notified to keep them on their toes or information on finger tip, whichever is appropriate. :)

Missing feature: We found these business events are savior to business however it's missing the ability to attach or send report/pdf files as email notifications, and we reported this to Acumatica suggestions/feedback and got a response that's this is planned for next major release, sweet.

You can import and restore snapshot to another company, in this case test company, it's pretty handy tool very useful during implementations, customization and support/troubleshooting while you work with data.

Today we are going to discuss how to export and import snapshots which are larger in file size of above 1GB, this is not a limitation from Acumatica and more to do with constraint and default value set in IIS (Internet Information Server). IIS by default allows uploading of a file size of 1GB and it limits the upload process and it can be tweaked to upload upto 4 GB file size and that's...
