In an Epicor function, can you trigger an event that exists within a Kinetic layer?

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I have a custom event that has been created within a Kinetic layer for Project Entry (in Application Studio).

I was wondering If I could create a function which triggers this event. Does anyone know if this is possible or have any examples of how this might be done?

Thanks very much.

It would be super-helpful to know the business problem you’re trying to solve. Functions and BPMs run at the server. Generally, events at the client could call them and then react accordingly.

Hi @Mark_Wonsil,

Below are details of the problem we’re trying to resolve:

In Quote Entry > Line > Worksheet, we added a couple of custom cost fields.

In Project Entry > WBS Phases, we added a button to trigger an event which sums up the custom Cost fields for all quotes related to the current project. The cost is updated in the WBS Phases > WBS Phase Costs >ODC costs field. (There is a default WBS Phase on the project).

The event has been fully created in App Studio and makes use of a BAQ dataview to retrieve all quote lines and then sum up the custom costs.

Currently, users have to press this button in each Project to trigger the event.

However, I wanted to create a function which triggers the event for all active projects.

I don’t want to re-do the work done in App Studio. I was wondering if it was possible to trigger the App Studio event from within a function, so was looking for examples of this.

Thanks kindly for any help.

Seems like it would be better to have built your logic in a function that would be triggered from application studio but could also be scheduled or triggered from another function. I don’t think you can go the other way.

No.

Thought this might be the case :sweat_smile:
Thanks for confirming anyway.
