Each document type in the application does not have the ability to use an event type. Each document type does not have the capability to process any event type in the application. In the Event Type Processor section earlier, details were given for each processor where it could be seen that certain information is needed in order to use some processors. One such example would be the event type for Acquiring a Fixed Asset. In order to process an accounting line with that event type, a document type would need a Fixed Asset Type and a Fixed Asset Classification. Thus the only document type where those values are available is the Fixed Asset document type. The Allowed Event Types for Document Type table is a 'capability' table because of these different data requirements for various event types.
Care should be exercised in what event types are allowed for a document type, so that users will not be presented with document processing errors that they can do nothing about.
The fields on the Allowed Event Types for Document Type (AETDT) table are as follows:
|
