Hi @dsimmerly When an Email template is subscribed with a Business Event, please select the “Attach Activity” checkbox to include the Activity to the Corresponding Invoice.

Will create a new Email Template and Business Event for you and keep you posted here shortly on the results.

Thanks

Hi @dsimmerly Please find the below details showing the email activity being attached to the Invoice from an Email Template subscribed with the Business Event. This worked with the “Attach Activity” selected.

  1. Email Template

 

  1. Business Event (Attached here for your convenience):

When you create the email notification by Add Subscriber in a Business event it does not have the attach flag

Hi @dsimmerly I was successfully by first creating the email template and then the Business Event.

Thanks for the update. Let me verify it from the Business event and keep you posted.

Hi @dsimmerly As shown below, the “Attach Activity” is shown for me from the Business Event and it is selected by default.

Hi @dsimmerly If you are using the Generic Inquiry for example if the SO3030PL generic inquiry is used instead of the Invoices screen SO303000, then the “Attach Activity” will not show on the screen.

Hence, the options are:

1, Change the business event to use the actual screen or

2. Use the “Link to Entity” in case of the Generic Inquiry associated with the Business Event.

Here is the note from Acumatica help:

“The box is not available if a notification template is used as a subscriber of a business event created to monitor data changes collected by a generic inquiry. The Link to Entity box is used instead.”

 

Thanks

@dales50  Attach Activity only available when your Data set comes from an Acumatica form and not the a Generic Inquiry.
As you can see it is available when Screen used is SO303000 (Invoices) and not available when you use a Generic Inquiry.

Hi @dsimmerly Here are the steps I followed and it is sucessfully creating the Activity on the Invoices screen.
1. Add the SOInvoice → noteid field to the results grid for your Generic Inquiry.

2. Use the SOINVOICE->noteid field on the entity.

​@hkabiri ​@Manikanta Dhulipudi ​@ChandraM 

I have the same problem while creating email activity for 2-step Warehouse transfer. I have created a generic inquiry to record the transfer records because we have 5 different warehouse and different procedures for all, so i need 5 different email templates for all.

For now, let’s consider 1 warehouse associated with GI1. I have created a business event, linking the GI screen and then also have created the email template associated with it. I’m specifically populating the Link to Entity field in the email template with ((INRegister_NoteID)) and ((INTransfer_NoteID)). 

Can you please guide me what field I need to select to get the email activity on the activities tab.

Thank you.
