Hello!

The Exchange rate column in the Currency object is virtual, so it is not shown in the Lookup and cannot be edited directly from the Lookup.

The Rate itself is saved in the CurrencyRate table with a link to CurrencyId each time it is changed.



The base stores the inverse of the exchange rate. For example:

Base currency:  EUR

AUD exchange rate: 0.60720694



Which is inconvenient to understand, so a Lookup with a more user-friendly currency display, but converting to a reverse exchange rate, has been developed to support backward compatibility.

This way you can enter the usual exchange rate of EUR = 1.646885 (AUD to EUR) on the interface. And the base will already save 0.60720694 (EUR per 1 AUD).

 

These different types of rate (1.646885 and 0.60720694 ) will determine the formula by which you will then calculate the amounts.:

1) convert it to a familiar rate - 1/0.60720694  = 1.646885.

2) either work already with 0.60720694 , but then the calculation of the amount will be different.



So, the Rate column is virtual, but you can use CurrencyRate (exchange rate) to calculate the exchange rate.

Kyrylo Atamanenko,

What is the reasoning behind storing the exchange rates in such a manner? Why isn't this mentioned in any articles?

Also, you mention a more user friendly lookup has been developed; is this new lookup implemented in 8.1.5, or is this an upcoming feature?

Hello!

Unfortunately we do not have basic functionality, which we could recommend to cancel the business process by another business process. In such cases, it could be developed only by custom script.

Hello,

There is no need to use a script task here. A simple sub-process call with mass creation of records using the "Add data" element will also work as expected. 

If you want to use the code:

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platform/back-end-development/data-operations-back-end/orm/examples/manage-the-database-entities

See example 6

EntitySchema contactSchema = UserConnection.EntitySchemaManager.GetInstanceByName("Contact");
Entity contactEntity = contactSchema.CreateEntity(UserConnection);
contactEntity.SetDefColumnValues();
contactEntity.SetColumnValue("Name", "User01");
contactEntity.Save();
 

The things to change here are the entity name and the column values (and column names).

Hey, Kalymbet! 
Many thanks for the response. 
I'll try it and come back here later today to coment! 

Hello!

Actually, the system runs multiple processes at once. But if you mean "current" from the perspective of process, in this case, process log id, it is just the id of this instance of the process. It represents in SysProcessElements, SysProcessLog, and other objects where you can filter data. To get this id in process, you will need to implement custom logic.

Kyrylo Atamanenko,

Can you provide us an example logic? We are meaning to get the current instance ID inside the process itself.

I was able to get the instance ID by doing the code below. The return UID here looks to be the same as the SysProcessLog ID used in the Process Log section.

string instanceUId = context.Process.InstanceUId;

Hi Trang, 

It's not possible to implement such a logic using no-code tools, however, you can do it by implementing an EntityEventListener and implementing an override for the OnSaving() method. 

Then you can access both the new value of the column(in your example Stage) and the old value. That way you can filter and update the value in your "ObjectInStage" object. 

More information on EntityEventListeners here. 

Such functionality is already implemented for Lead and Case objects, you could try and use them as an example. 

 

Best regards,

Yurii

Views don't trigger signals. 

I was attempting to do the same and ended up running the process on a timer to continuously check for errors on an interval. It would be great to have either an ootb way to notify someone about process errors or the ability to handle an error condition in the process itself.

I do wish it would return the ID, however, since it *can* create multiple files for whatever matches the filter conditions it's not always a single ID or file created.

What I typically do is do a read immediately after for attachments on the record, sorted by Created On desc, and also use the Name of the file based on the naming of the printable used. It's not ideal but has worked for me.

Ryan

Good day,

Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately, there is no such functionality for your task currently present in the OOTB application of Creatio.

Currently, you can achieve such a thing only by means of development.

Thank you.

Good day,

This sounds like support should take a look into this issue.

Feel free to notify us by sending a message - support@creatio.com

Thank you.

Good day,

Could you elaborate on what exactly you are having trouble with?

You should be able to just delete the unneeded elements by clicking on them and pressing the trashbin icon.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I cannot delete unneeded elements from base packages. This is out-of-box feature that I want to overwrite

Vladimir,

Thank you for the explanation.

In that case, you could create a copy (a replacement object or just an export copy) of the Invoices and put it into your own custom package.

This will allow you to alter its behavior.

Here are some of the articles on the matter:

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/development_tools/creatio_id…

Thank you.

Artem,

But if I make replacement object, it inherites all the process from base packages.

And if I create new object, I need to make all logics from scratch.
