BPM to add special character to AP invoice number

Hello,

I just joined this forum today and I’m curious if anyone has written a BPM to modify an AP invoice number?

The logic is as follows:

Any invoice number entered in Logged AP Invoice Entry will automatically have " * " (or the special character of my choosing) added to the end of the invoice number.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Nolan

If the addition of the special character is to indicate something special about that particular invoice, you’re better off adding a field to that table.

And the AP Invoice “number” is most likely a key field. Any changes to it would break referential integrity.

Hi Calvin,

Thanks for the reply!

What we’re trying to do is to easily identify any AP invoice that has gone through the Logged AP Invoice process: entering the logged invoice, having it approved, then matched in AP Invoice Entry. When our AP check signers are reviewing the checks that AP has cut, they would like to skim over any invoice that has already been “approved”. Technically, any invoice that went through the logged invoice process would have been approved.

You could customize the check to include any indicator you want when the invoice came from a logged invoice, you can use APInvHed.MatchedFromLI
