It is possible to trigger a Lasernet report to start from a Business Event. This is especially smart in Production and warehouse flows, were you do not want to wait by the label printer for up to a minute.
The report runs as soon as the status is change or a business document is posted, with no alert batch job and no one-minute delay, and the setup moves between environments together with the report.
Business event links on the report. A new Business event links page (Reports > Links) connects a report to any business event in the catalog. Each link has its own destination and a data filter, so the report prints only the document that raised the event (for example the confirmed purchase order or the posted invoice).
Two execution modes. Synchronous runs the report inside the posting itself, so the document is ready immediately. Asynchronous runs it through the standard Business events delivery, using a new Lasernet report trigger endpoint type, so the posting is never slowed down.
Visibility in the Business events catalog. The catalog shows which Lasernet reports are linked to each event.
Backup, copy and validation. Links are included in report export and import, copied with the report, removed together with it, and checked by report validation.
Lasernet Business Events in the Business event catalog
The Business events catalog is located at System administration > Setup > Business event > Business events catalog
The Business events catalog does not hold many triggers for Production Control, only one for production order released.
In order to show the Lasernet business events in the Business events catalog, click Manage - then Rebuild business events catalog
The Business events catalog is located at System administration > Setup > Business event > Business events catalog
When the Business events catalog is rebuild you will be able to see the business events created by Lasernet. They work as normal business events and can be used for other events than Lasernet.
