Greetings all,

Very curious to know if someone has accomplished this (ideally using out of the box platform tools).  The mission is to launch a custom URL to an external site from within Acumatica. Two valid options:

  1. Workflow button with custom action that launches the URL when the operator clicks the button
  2. UDF with an embedded hyperlink that operator can click.

This functionality would need to live on the Sales Order screen. Either the Sales Order workflow would have a button that launches a specific URL, or, the Sales Order Line UDF would include the hyperlink. 

I do see two possibly related (older) comments but am curious about current state.

This post addresses the External URL redirect and some problems with it:

This post links to a feature that was requested 10 YEARS AGO with comments as recently as 7 days ago.

 

If anyone has suggestions I’d be curious to hear.

Quoting the original post, FYI the asiablog link returns a 404 error; so not even usable as a reference.

I will gloss over the absurdity, for now, of a “low code/no code” platform requriing this kind of technical solution to do something as simple as redirect the user to an external website by clicking a button:
