Hello all,

How can one create task situated under Activities tab in PM301000. I came across Task templates screen, so I mapped the values and then setup the biz event that should be triggered when the Project status changes to Active. But it is not firing off. Can anyone guide me on this?

@Harry , Can you make sure if the Business Event is firing off based on a schedule? Can you also share the triggering conditions for the Biz event?

Thanks.

Hi ​@Harry,

You can try the following approach to create tasks under projects:

  1. Task Templates – Set up tasks in PM302000 with all required fields.

  2. Import Scenario – Create a scenario to generate PMActivity (Project Tasks) using the template values.

  3. Business Event – Configure a event:

    • Trigger: Field Updated → Status

    • Condition: Status = Active

    • Action: Run the Import Scenario.

I think there is confusion on which “task” in the project screen we are talking about. I have the same question as ​@Harry. If I’m not mistaken, he was talking about the tasks that are in the activity tab of the projects screen. I can’t seem to get it to work through a business event. I have even tried following this video demonstration: Acumatica 2021 R2 - Business Events Triggering Tasks, but it didn’t seem to work. Could someone provide some clarity on how this works?

This will get you what you want.  

First, create a Generic inquiry
 Source = PX.Objects.PM.PMProject

 Conditions

      Results
 


Publish and name it something like “Auto-Create Project Tasks” 

 

Then Create a Business Event “Task Automation”

 

Your right panel needs to be your new GI you just created.

Fields to track should be 
 


Save.

Then click on Create Subscriber
Name it something like “Task Automation - Tax Setup”

This is a setup below.  The “OwnerID” is the “DefContactID” LOCATED FOR THE EMPLOYEE in “EPEmployee” DAC.


If you have multiple employees that this could be assigned to, like a project manager for a specific project, you will have to add the appropriate sources to your original GI.
