Installation and Configuration

Your administrator must perform the following tasks to enable these optional features:

  • Install the OneTouch (ffbext) extension package.
  • Enable enhanced lists if they are not enabled already.
  • Perform the specific post-installation tasks described later in this document.

Installing the Package

Follow the steps for installing managed packages as described in the Salesforce Help.

On the Choose security level page, we recommend that you grant Full Access to each profile that you use with Accounting.

During the procedure you must provide the organization's log-in details. The package itself is not password-protected and so you do not need to provide an additional password after log in.

Once logged in, you are given the opportunity to review the package contents to ensure this is the package you want to install. When you click Install, all the components in the package are installed to the selected organization.

You do not need to deploy or license this extension package after installation.

Approval Workflow

The underlying Salesforce platform includes powerful features for workflow and approval processes. See "Managing Workflow and Approvals" in the Salesforce Help for information on what you need to do to set up and operate this in your organization.

To enable approval workflow within Accounting for posting sales invoices:

  1. Click Your Name | Setup | Develop | Custom Settings.

  3. Do one of the following steps:

    • If custom settings already exist at Default Organization Level, click Edit.

  4. Select the Enable Sales Invoice Approval checkbox.
  5. Click Save to save your changes.

You can also enable approval workflow for the following document types in a similar way:

  • sales credit notes
  • payable invoices
  • payable credit notes

To add the custom Approved checkbox to your sales invoice page layouts, you have two choices:

  1. Use type 1 integration rules. See the Certinia Help for more information.
  2. Use standard Salesforce platform page layout customization features (extended organizations only). See the Salesforce Help for more information.

You can also add an Approved checkbox in a similar way to the following document types:

  • sales credit notes
  • payable invoices (standard platform method only)
  • payable credit notes (standard platform method only)

We recommend that you set field-level security to ensure that only authorized users have edit permission to these Approved checkboxes. You can then create a workflow rule to notify the authorized user that a document is ready to be posted. This authorized user selects the Approved checkbox. At this point you have a choice: either create a workflow rule to pass the approved document back to the data-entry user, or give them a list view to monitor.
