Any reason why you can't click on the Customer No hyperlink on the header tab?  Unlike the Customer button, the hyperlink will show you the invoices tab.

Great point!  However, I tried to explain this already but "it's an extra step".  This customer is coming from Peachtree where you get prompted to apply credit memos at the time of invoicing.  Unfortunately, they are a bit set in their ways so I was trying to find something for them that's similar.

Easiest way is to set up a PreTotals script (filtered to SO Invoice Entry) to invoke the pHeader button, then that CustomerNo button.  If you've never scripted in Sage 100 before, writing a query as I mentioned above is probably not a good place to start.

Excellent, that's where I'm headed now.  Thank you so much Kevin and Tom!  I really appreciate your input.

Excellent idea Kevin!   One thing I like about this forum is that putting heads together yields lots of good ideas.   So easy to get stuck on one thought process and not think about others.

Kevin,

I tried to do the script (which seems simple enough).  However, the CustomerNo button (opening Customer Maintenance) never fires.  Would you know what I'm missing?  This is the script:

retVal=0

retVal = oScript.InvokeButton("fldr.pHeader")
Set oUIObj = oSession.AsObject(oScript.UIObj)
retVal = oScript.InvokeButton("BT_ML_CUSTOMERNO")
retVal = oUIObj.HandleScriptUI()
retVal = oScript.InvokeButton("fldr.pTotals")

Many thanks in advance,

Javier

Ok, I figured it out (almost completely).  Probably not the prettiest, but it works for now.  Sharing in case anyone may need it or something similar.

oARCust = 0
DivNo = 0
CustNo = ""
CustNumber = ""

oARCust = oSession.GetObject("AR_Customer_UI")
retVal = oBusObj.GetValue("ARDivisionNo$",DivNo)
retVal = oBusObj.GetValue("CustomerNo$",CustNo)
CustNo = Cstr(CustNo)

If DivNo < 10 then
DivNo = "0" & DivNo
else
DivNo
End if

CustNumber = DivNo&CustNo

if oARCust <> 0 then
Set oARCust = oSession.AsObject(oARCust)
retVal = oARCust.Process(CustNumber)
retVal = oScript.InvokeButton("AR_Customer.pInvoice")
End if

Now, a follow-up question: If you notice, at the end I have a line to invoke the pInvoice tab on the Customer Maintenance window.  Unfortunately, it doesn't get there - it only opens Customer Maintenance on the main tab.  Any way to force it to go to the Invoice tab?  I'm sure I'm just missing a small piece.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sage 100's scripts can only interact with the UI within the context of it's task. So as soon as you call oARCust.Process, any code after that is not going to execute until you close the "Process"ed task. Which is obviously too late for your requirements. 

What you can do though is use the oSession's ScriptObject's SetStorageVar method to set a "flag" prior to calling oARCust.Process that can be retrieved using the oSession's ScriptObject's GetStorageVar method in a post load script attached to DMain of the AR_Customer.M4L library panel. If the flag is set, then invoke the pInvoice panel, otherwise do nothing, 

Thanks so much for your input, David!  I will take a look at this right now and report.

David,

It worked!  Thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.  The only change I made was attaching the post load script to the PMain of AR_Customer, not the DMain.

Thanks again!
