Let’s say I want to put a task on a 15 minute schedule, but make it stop between the hours of 8pm-6am. I could be missing something, but it doesn’t look like Epicor has that feature. My only thought is to create 56 individual “daily” schedules (if my math is right), but that seems ridiculous. Can…

The only way is to create a BPM to change the next firing time to be the next day at business start after you pass the end of business day.

Yes, I have a better way… but I can’t talk about it yet. :wink: Are you coming to insights?

But also don’t know if the bpms you can write inside of them get called on REST execution. A lot of unknowns with this solutions, and a bigg…

Thanks for the tips all. Ultimately the business need probably isn’t worth writing code in my case, but I appreciate the suggestions. The backstory is this: customer has Generate PO Suggestions running every 15 minutes (that’s what they want, not something I suggested), and there have been multiple…
