ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService

global with sharing class RevenueScheduleAutomationService

Contains methods for Recognition Schedule automation.

Enums

AutomationProcess

Denotes an individual process that can be run by the automation service. The order these are listed here is the same order in which the processes will be run, if selected.

Value Description
DeleteSourceUnavailable The process to delete recognition schedules where the source record is unavailable.
Generate The process to generate recognition schedules from source records.
Recognize The process to recognize recognition schedules.
Summarize The process to summarize recognition transactions.
CreateJournals The process to create Accounting journals from recognition transactions.

PeriodToSelectUpTo

Denotes the cutoff period for including schedule lines for recognition.

Value Description
Current Recognizable schedule lines in all periods up to the current period will be included.
Previous Recognizable schedule lines in all periods up to and including the most recent fully complete period will be included.

PeriodToRecognizeInto

Denotes the period that recognized values will be committed into.

Value Description
Current Recognized values will be committed into the period containing today's date.
Previous Recognized values will be committed into the period immediately prior to the current period.

Methods

runProcesses

global static ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationResult runProcesses(ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationConfig configuration)

Runs the recognition schedule processes specified by the ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationConfig object from the first process to last process. See the RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationProcess enum for the available values. The order in which these processes happens is as follows:
1) DeleteSourceUnavailable
2) Generate
3) Recognize
4) Summarize
5) CreateJournals

When the configuration object is supplied with a firstProcess and lastProcess every step in between is also run.
The configuration object also controls if the summarization process should be run. See the summarizeTransactions option. If not specified defaults to true. If the first to last process covers Summarize and the summarizeTransactions boolean is set to true it will summarize the recognition transactions. If the CreateJournals is also included the automation process will create journals using transaction summaries rather than recognition transaction lines.

Additionally the configuration object can be supplied with a ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationFilters object containing filters to be applied to each of the asynchronous processes being run.

When you run the service a Revenue Management background process record is created, storing log information about the individual processes being run and the filter information used when clash checking asynchronous processes. See the Revenue Management Background Processes and Filters help topic for more information.

Note CreateJournals requires the RT to Journal Integrations to be enabled and working for either recognition transaction summaries or recognition transaction lines depending on whether the summarizeTransactions flag is set to true.
Consult the Help for which records are picked up by each automation process.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
configuration ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationConfig The configuration object for the automation process.

Exceptions Thrown

Value Description
ffrr.Exceptions.InvalidArgumentException If the AutomationConfig is invalid. The AutomationConfig is invalid if: The first process is after the last process or nothing is passed to the configuration object for either parameter. The CreateJournals process is selected and the RT to Journal Integration is not setup and working. Both the first and last process are Summarize and summarizeTransactions is false. The Recognize process is selected and RecognitionConfig is not fully populated. The Recognize process is not selected and RecognitionConfig is not null.
ffrr.Exceptions.IllegalStateException If a Recognition Schedule process ie Synchronize, Delete, Generate or Recognize is currently running then the system will throw an exception.

Return Value

Returns a ffrr.RS_AutomationService.AutomationResult object.

//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

//In this example, Generate, Recognize and Summarize will be run in that order.
ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationProcess startProcess = ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationProcess.Generate;
ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationProcess endProcess = ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationProcess.Summarize;

// For the Recognize process, configure the cutoff period for including schedule lines for recognition, and the period to commit recognized values into.
// In this example, schedule lines up to and including the previous period will be selected, and then recognized into the current period.
// By default, if the configuration includes the Recognize process, schedule lines up to and including the previous period will be selected, and recognized into the previous period.

filters.setCompanies(filteredCompanies);
filters.setCurrencies(filteredCurrencies);
filters.setRecognitionStreams(filteredRecognitionStreams);

//Specify filters to apply to each of the automation processes.
config.filter = filters;

Properties

Name Type Description
firstProcess ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationProcess The first process to be run. All processes between this (inclusive) and the lastProcess (inclusive) will be run, following the order of processes in the AutomationProcess enum. e.g. if firstProcess = Generate and lastProcess = Summarize, then Generate, Recognize and Summarize will be run in that order.
lastProcess ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationProcess The last process to be run. All processes between firstProcess (inclusive) and this (inclusive) will be run, following the order of processes in the AutomationProcess enum. e.g. if firstProcess = Generate and lastProcess = Summarize, then Generate, Recognize and Summarize will be run in that order.
summarizeTransactions Boolean Indicates if the summarization process should run when Summarize is included in the processes to run. If false, the summarization process will not run even when Summarize is included in the processes to run. This allows running processes before and after Summarize together in one API call while skipping the summarization process itself. Note: If Summarize is the only process selected to run and this option is set to false, an exception will be thrown if an attempt is made to run a process with that AutomationConfig instance.
Also, when running the CreateJournals process (regardless of whether Summarize is included in the processes to run), indicates if journals should be created from transaction summaries (if true) or transaction lines (if false).
Defaults to true
shouldSendEmailAtEndOfProcesses Boolean Indicates if email notifications should be sent after each individual process has completed. Note that with this option set to false, no email notifications will be sent at all as a result of the API call.
Defaults to true
filter ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.AutomationFilters An empty set means no filters will be applied. A set of companies containing an empty string will filter for records with no company. By applying a company filter, only records with a company that matches one of the items in the set are included in the AutomationService run. If you apply both company and currency filters, only records that match an item in both sets are included in the AutomationService run.
Defaults to no filters.
recognitionConfig ffrr.RevenueScheduleAutomationService.RecognitionConfig Defines behavior specific to the Recognize process. This configuration should not be set if the Recognize process is not included in the processes being run.
