Acumatica’s robust platform is a goldmine for power users, particularly when it comes to business events and automation. But one simple function, the screen filter, shines on screens that might otherwise seem limited. Let’s explore how leveraging screen filters can solve complex business scenarios with an illustrative example.
The Overlooked Potential of Screen Filters
While GIs and Reports are common grounds for applying filters, Acumatica’s screen filters stand out in their versatility across numerous screens. These filters are not just additional features; they are essential tools that can adapt Acumatica to fit unique business needs and processes.
Case Study: A Client’s Challenge with Printing Checks
A prime example of the effectiveness of screen filters involves a client facing a specific challenge: printing checks. The requirement was to print checks that were either due or had a cash discount nearing expiration. The standard checkboxes in Acumatica couldn’t accommodate both conditions simultaneously, posing an obstacle in the company’s financial operations.
The Solution: Crafting a Custom Filter
To address this, a custom filter was crafted. This filter seamlessly integrated both conditions: due checks and impending cash discounts. By applying this filter, the client could efficiently identify the relevant checks that matched either of the criteria, solving a problem that seemed insurmountable with the standard options available.
Conclusion: Embrace the Full Spectrum of Acumatica’s Filters
This scenario underscores the importance of understanding and utilizing Acumatica’s screen filters to their full potential. It’s not just about GLs and Reports; it’s about transforming every screen into a customizable tool that aligns perfectly with your unique business needs.
