When a customer orders from our online store the sales order comes into our system sometimes before the payment. When the payment does come thru, because that payment can be for multiple sales orders it comes into Acumatica hitting our Unearned Revenue account under the HeadOffice Branch.

I have created an import scenario that takes that amount and based on the applied to order of the sales order and allocates the money to the respective branch of the Unearned Revenue accounts. 

My original plan was to have this import scenario run once a night since most of our sales orders aren’t touched same day, but I’m wondering if a business event can trigger that import scenario for when payments do come into the system?

@SBaldwin You should be able to create an Automation schedule (could run nightly, or every couple hours or hourly even) attached to a Business Event and have that run once a day. The BE would be powered by a GI which has the sales order date and set to run once for all records. The subscriber would be the import scenario.

If you don’t want the schedule then just set the BE to trigger on record insertion and set conditions on the BE for what you want the trigger to occur on.

Have you already tried this?
