Every Business Document can be in a state of NOT Posted or Posted.

Think of NOT Posted as a temporary state: the data is stored but nothing has been posted to the transaction tables - you can change or delete the Business Document.

When a user Posts a Business Document, all the relative Transactions are "posted/created" in the transaction tables and various _sum tables are updated.

The transaction records have all the necessary information to automatically update the relative _sum tables.

The only Business Documents that do not create ANY type of transactions are Quotes and Orders.

​

Transactions Posted by each Business Document

You can find this information "embedded" inside the Project code of the alpha360 Retail application and in the BPs that handle Posting [especially the code bricks].

​

Business Documents and the PostGL State

Every Business Document can be in a state of NOT Posted to GL or Posted GL.

When a user Posts to GL a Business Document, a Batch entry is automatically created and posted in GL - Quotes, Orders and Shipments do NOT Post to GL.
