Visual Integrator Question

kziegler · Oct 28, 2011

I have been using Visual Integrator in Mas90 for many years now, primarily importing Customers, Vendors, AP Invoice (AP_InvoiceHeader), and AR Invoice (AR_InvoiceHeader).

The process we go through is to import any new customers and vendors (from an outside DB) via ODBC drivers, then import the AP & AR data.

This all works fine, but has always required manual intenvention to fire up the VI Jobs, update the invoice register, and sales journal, and to post to GL via the Daily Transaction Register. Is there any way through VI or any other method, where we could set a batch job to automatically import, update the journal/register and post to GL without any manual intevention?

You can if you use the Business Objects interface programming instead of VI.

TO expand on what Dawn posted. If you are on one of the 4.xx versions of MAS you can use VB and the Business Objects Interface to perform all these functions. This is not possible if you are on a 3.xx version. To be able to do this you would need to use the services of a reseller such as Dawn who is versed in the process or take the Sage class on BOI so you can learn how to do it yourself. Although you maybe versed in VB it takes a while to learn how to use it in relationship to MAS, hence the suggestion to take the class.
