   Set Up Background Posting for Sales Area

    The first step is to set up a job queue to run the background posting

1. In the Job Queue Category List, you create a new job queue category (or select standart the SalesPost category). In our example it TEST category. In the next part you will see why should we use it.

  

    2. In the Job Queue card create a new Job Queue. Fill Code and Description fields and choose Job queue category which created before. So this job will only run the job queue entries with the               category TEST. Remaining fields in the GeneralFastTab show the status of the job queue.

    It is possible to choose which Nas service the job queue must run on in the NAS Settings FastTab

    The next step is to set up the background posting, in this case, the sales side

1. On the Sales & Receivables Setup page we select  Background Posting FastTab
2.         You activate background posting for sales documents by selecting the Post with Job Queue check box.
3.   .   Job Queue priority is that if you have several job queue it post one after another depend on higher priority. Max priority = 1000.
4.        To filter to the sales order type of job queue entry, choose the Job Queue Category Code field.   When you choose this category, you are filtering to all sales orders that match any job queue that has the same category code.
5.         Activate the Notify On Success check box if you want the user that posted the document to notified about the state of posting. There will be a notification attached to the posted document as well as a notification in the My Notifications part on the role center.

     

     And if you need You can apply the same steps to the Purchases & Payables Setup page

     Now, the application has been configured and it is possible to start posting.

      Running background posting

     1. Create new sales order

     2. In FastTab Lines fill Qty. to Ship, Qty. to Invoice (it depend on your intentions). If don't fill this fields have such error: "There is nothing to post"

     3. Click Post and see such message

     In the Sales order list it is possible to see the state of posting showing the Job Queue Status field The list page will show the status of posting

   4. The My Job Queue part also shows the progress of the jobs. Any job queue errors will be readable from the entry in the job queue. Failing job queue entries are displayed in red, while the job queue entries in line are displayed in black. 

    After posting My Notifications part shows any errors related to the posting or successfull finished.

  5. And when selected Job Queue start all sales order will post.

  While you click post Job Queue create new Job Queue Entry Card of each one of document.
