CB Receipt Highlight Part Allocation

[2can2]

Hi, A client wants to be alerted to the fact that the full amount hasn't been allocated in CB Receipts allocation screen Unallocated amounts are already highlighted in RED but if they are allocating and there isn't enough to fully pay an invoice so some value is still in Unallocated can this be highlighted at that point - say background in Yellow! See 2nd line in attachment.
How can this be achieved? Thanks

Hi Doug,

This is possible, but it's not trivial. I estimate it would take around 4 hours for me to do a plugin to this - it's a bit involved because the only way to interact with dialogs is to intercept the button click of the cash book grid, and in the plugin load our own instance of the dialog, and process the results - so in essence replicating a bunch of code in the cash book form which already handles that - and then we would be able to change colours or show an alert/error provider when they allocate and some portion remains unallocated.

If you want to proceed, it would be a billable customisation - so you would need to engage [email protected] to get a case in our system created.

Thanks Mike. I didn't realise the complexity! nor will the client so he will have to live with it!

Hi Doug,

Not content to let this defeat me, I made a small change to Jiwa 07.00.112.00 which makes this no longer non-trivial.

Attached is the plugin - but you'll need to wait until we have build 07.00.112.00 before you can try it out.
