The Relation Setup feature allows end-users to view documents associated with a specific tag, even when the selected record is not directly used as a tag. This capability is enabled through relation configurations.
To access the Relation Setup: Navigate to 9A Raptor DWH > Setup > Document Management > Relation Setup.
Suppose you want to view all documents related to an imported invoice from a ledger journal. Although ledger journals are not used as tags, there is a relationship between the imported invoice and the ledger journals. To achieve this, you can define a relation between the DocNo
field in the EXAPurchInvoiceImported
table and the EXADocNo
field in the LedgerJournalTable
.
We support two types of relations:
Direct Relation A direct link exists between the selected record and the associated entity. In this case, the DocNo field.
Example:
Entity: EXAPurchInvoiceImportedEntity
Field: DocNo
Table: LedgerJournalTable
Field: EXADocNo
Result: when opening Raptor on the ledger journal, the Document Warehouse will open filtered on the associated 'EXAPurchInvoiceImported' tag, instead of the ledger journal entry itself.
Indirect Relation An indirect link exists between the selected record and the associated entity. Indirect relations require a direct relation as a base (finish-relation). Therefore, you must configure direct relations before creating indirect ones.
Additionally, indirect relations can connect tables through different fields or table names.
Example:
Entity: EXAPurchInvoiceImportedEntity
Field: DocNo
Table: LedgerJournalTrans
Field: JournalNum
(via the direct relation mentioned above).
Result: when opening Raptor on the ledger journal lines, the Document Warehouse will open filtered on the associated 'EXAPurchInvoiceImported' tag, instead of the selected line itself. This is accomplished by linking the line level to the imported invoice through the ledger journal header, an indirect link.
The Distribution Setup feature allows end-users to distribute documents between entities based on specific conditions.
You can access the Distribution Setup form via: 9A Raptor DWH > Setup > Document Management > Distribution Setup
Tags: Used to retrieve documents based on predefined identifiers.
Description: Free-text field for adding extra explanation.
Entity Type From: The source entity for the distribution.
Entity Type To: The target entity for the distribution.
Distribution Type:
Add Tag: The same document is tagged with the context of the target entity.
Copy Documents: A new, standalone document is created and tagged with the context of the target entity.
Copy Tags: For "Copy Documents" distributions, the tags from the source document are applied to the new document.
Copy Document Template: the document template (see Raptor templates: Templates) from the original document is copied to the new document.
You can define specific distribution rules for certain records based on the source entity. To do this, use the Edit Query menu item to create relationships between the source entity and other tables.
Examples:
Distribute documents with specific tags for released products in a particular item group.
Distribute documents for released products associated with a specific primary vendor.
