#GPPT Tracking changes to Item Cards Version 5

David Meego - Click for blog homepageThis is yet another update to the previous version of the change tracking project for Item cards:

Based on the version 4 project, this update for GP Power Tools Build 32 or later adds support for the Accounts window. Note it does require Build 32 or later to work.

Version 3 of the Customer and Vendor Change Tracking is available for Build 31 or earlier:

The project has been updated to add support for the Accounts window and Account Indexes. It even has code to add the Account Numbers to the Account Index fields.

Below is a screenshot of the ITEM TRACKING project showing the components:

To add additional fields to the tracked fields lists, you can update the Fields_Master, Fields_Options, Fields_Accounts, Fields_Modified, Fields,_Currency, Fields_Internet, Fields_Quantities, Fields_Vendors, Fields_Planning, and Fields_Customer variables in the trigger scripts with the fields’ Technical Names.

To enable the emailing, make sure you can send an email using the Send Email window. You can change the settings used in the Email Settings window.

Note: If you have issues with SMTP, try using the SMTP via .Net Addin mode rather than the SMTP via CDO mode as it can better handle modern authentication requirements.

Then edit the trigger scripts (1 to 7 for this project) and insert the desired email address to send the notifications to in the MBS_Email_To field. You can also add MBS_Email_CC and MBS_Emal_BCC addresses, or change subject and body text, if you wish.

Item Triggers: ITEM TRACKING 1 to 7

WARNING: If you already have the previous versions installed, please make a note of the Fields included if you have changed the field lists before importing, so you can remake the changes after installing the updated projects.
