Hello, I made a business event for the purpose of sending out an email notification whenever a purchase receipt occurs against a purchase order. I watched a training video and also took note from the last Acumatica convention, but for some reason my event is not triggering at all. I also have a question about the email template itself. Here was the first setup I tried:  I expected the above to work as-is, but when I receive a purchase order, the business event is not triggering at all. The business event history is blank and no emails are waiting to process.Example of new receipts added on today’s date: I noticed that the employee-facing screen for PRs is actually PO3020PL, so then I tried changing to that screen instead, but then the “trigger by action” option completely disappeared, and it still does not trigger.That attempt: If someone could please advise what I could have wrong in the above set up that’d be great.My second question is for the email template itself on the same event

Hi everyone,If you develop for Acumatica, you already know the biggest bottleneck in our daily workflow: making a small code change, building the DLL, and then waiting several minutes for IIS to load the instance just to see if your change worked.To solve this, I’ve developed a new Visual Studio extension called Acumatica Live Sync. It bypasses the constant rebuild/restart cycle, allowing you to see your code changes in the instance almost instantly. - Key BenefitsZero-Wait Updates: Once initialized, any saved changes to your code (renaming fields, modifying logic) are immediately reflected in Acumatica without an IIS restart.Full Structural Editing: It’s not just for small tweaks. You can add new actions, create brand new extension files, or delete existing ones on the fly.Native Debugging Support: You don't lose any Visual Studio features. You can still set breakpoints directly in your project, they will hit as expected, and you can inspect or modify values at runtime.Zero Risk to So

Hi Acumatica Developers, After creating a  new purchase order by adding a vender and a new row, I clicked ‘Fit to screen’ button.However, I am unable to return to the previous table view, as there is no option to exit or revert this mode. 

Hi Acumatica Developers,If i have a field which is in several screens(say 10 screens). Instead of having 10 graph extension to implement custom logic.Can i extend PXGraph like class “MyClassExt: PXGraphExtension<PXGraph>” and have events to implement my custom logic? Will there be any drawbacks with performance , locks, etc. ?  

Can someone support me by providing a copy of the Acumatica installer version 2020 R2, it is no longer available in the download repository on Amazon and build archive, I’m working on upgrading from 2019R1 and need it for that reason so if someone still has that version and can provide it for me

Hello all,I want to display the Barcode alternate Type from the Cross Ref tab in the Stock items (IN202500) screen. But unable to do so. i want to hard code in the join to only display the data for Barcode.Thanks.

Hi All, Need help currently we are transitioning to the new 2025 R2 of Acumatica, by this I am trying to switch the Classic UI to the Modern UI, but the problem is when I am switching the UI to Modern UI all the customizations are not reflected to the modern UI, especially we have a customized button in Details tab of Opportunity, because we linked the Estimates on the Opportunities that whenever there is a created Estimated with the same inventory id on the details tab, after clicking the calculate price, the system will automatically calculate the price based on the margin code we specified.  Thank you

Hi,How can I make an OData call to a Generic Inquiry with multiple values for a filter?  For example, OrderID is 1001, 1003, or 1004.I know OData v3 does not support the “IN” filter clause.  But can I user parameters or OData v4 to retrieve multiple records based on an array of filter values?Thanks!

Can we change the new color-coded statuses for those with color vision deficiency or is this something that would be able to be changed at a later date?

Users should be able to: Hover over text Select words or sentences Capture selected text for mapping to field Currently: The PDF loads successfully using PDF.js But it behaves like a static image Text hover/selection is not properly aligned or does not work correctly

In 25R2, I have exposed custom generic inquiries via OData, set up a connected application, and can call the OData endpoints from Postman.  I handed-off the initial collection to our MS dev lead so that he could wire them into a custom application.  He is attempting to generate T4 templates against the v3 metadata using a VS extension tool, but the metadata is not well-formed according to the schema referenced.  First, all of the standard GIs exposed via OData have naming validation errors with dashes or spaces in the names, so I removed the OData checkbox and republished them.  Second, it appears that Acumatica does not add Nullable="false" to the fields in the Keys sections, no matter what the underlying field definition is, and thus there is a generation error for every key field indicating “All parts of the key must be non-nullable.”.  So, he is downloading the metadata file, scripting the addition of the attribute to every key field and then generating against the local copy of th

I recently ran into an issue with a PXSelector. I defined the selector to use a unique key as the actual key, but to display a different value. The problem is the selector became confused when there were multiple identical display values.I can kinda understand why this would be a problem, but it seems to me that the selector should be smart enough to differentiate between the options based on the underlying key value. Is this a core limitation of a selector or simply in mind when it was designed?​@Dmitrii Naumov 

Hi All,I’ve installed Acumatica multiple times, but I’m still encountering an HTTP 404 error when trying to access my local instance. Could someone please advise on how I can resolve this issue?

I have a custom button on the SO301000 screen above the grid. I need to move it over so that it sits next to the Add Items button in the Modern UI. How do I place my button after a specific button? See screenshot below for placement.This is the typescript I have to get the button to show up on the screen above the grid. Now I just need to move it to the left.export class SO301000_PBCoreProcessing_converted {  PBCPOpenCoreReturnDetails: PXActionState;}export interface SO301000_SOLine_PBCoreProcessing_converted extends SOLine {}export class SO301000_SOLine_PBCoreProcessing_converted {  PBCPOpenCoreReturnDetails: PXActionState;} Thank you,Laura

I’m trying to get more detail on a PXLockViolationException trace error so I thought I’d try remote debugging on the server hosting Acumatica.  I started a remote debug session on the server but I’m not sure what to do next.Question: do I open some Acumatica project on my local machine?  If so, which one?  I’ve only been working with Customization Projects so I not sure how to start a remote debug session for hitting breakpoints coming from a trace.
