Is there a way to fire a report triggered by a Business Events and sent to DeviceHub printer?

I believe if you added an action (possibly through Workflow) to the screen which did what you wanted it to do, you could create an Import Scenario subscriber which would click the action.

What I’m not sure about is if you can use Workflow to print to DeviceHub, but it seems like you could.

Were you able to create an action that would print through Devicehub?  I have a need to print a form (Shipment Confirmation) from a business event.  We started with adding a Shipment filter to the Process Shipments screen, but now I’m finding that business events and Process screens don’t play well together (no matter what screen I point to, no matter what action, I get the error “The table with the name ‘xxFilter’ does not exist in the database” where “xx” is the primary table name of the process screen, such as SOShipment).

@DC00   Out of the box, Acumatica ERP does not provide an option to send reports directly to DeviceHub via a Business Event trigger.

However, the following workaround approaches can be considered:

1. Business Event + Custom Subscriber

Implement a custom Business Event subscriber and add logic to generate and send the report to DeviceHub when the Business Event is triggered. This is the most flexible and reliable approach, as it allows full control over the printing process.

2. Business Event + Import Scenario

Create an Import Scenario that triggers an action where the logic for sending the report to DeviceHub is already implemented. The Business Event can then invoke this scenario, which in turn executes the printing logic.

 

Both approaches are viable, but the custom subscriber method is generally recommended for better control, maintainability, and reliability.

 

Hope this helps!

There is this idea to add print jobs as a subscriber type for business events

I believe Asgard labels also adds a “Print Labels” subscriber type, though I have not used it.
