global with sharing class ConsolidationService

This class provides functionality to perform consolidation of billing documents, add billing documents to an existing consolidated document, and to undo the consolidation of billing documents. You must enable the Billing Document Consolidation feature in Feature Console before using the service.

Methods

addBillingDocumentsToConsolidate

global static ffbc.ConsolidationService.ConsolidationResponse addBillingDocumentsToConsolidate(ffbc.ConsolidationService.AdditionRequest request)

Adds billing documents with "Draft" document status to a consolidated billing document with "Draft" document status. The original and consolidated billing documents must have the same value for the Document Type, Currency, Company, and Account fields. The original billing documents must have line items.
If DocumentDate and DueDate are supplied, they override the existing values on the consolidated billing document. Checkboxes that contain conflicting values have the default value of the checkbox on the consolidated document. All other fields on the consolidated billing document are unchanged.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
request ffbc.ConsolidationService.AdditionRequest Contains the information needed to consolidate the additional billing documents.

Return Value

A response containing the results of the AdditionRequest.

consolidateAsync

global static ffbc.ConsolidationService.ConsolidationAsyncResponse consolidateAsync(ffbc.ConsolidationService.ConsolidationAsyncRequest request)

Consolidates the supplied billing documents using a background process. Draft billing documents are grouped together using the supplied consolidation grouping method. Billing documents with a status other than “Draft”, documents without line items, and documents that cannot be grouped with another are excluded from consolidation.

consolidateWithRulesAsync

global static List<ffbc.ConsolidationService.ConsolidationAsyncResponse> consolidateWithRulesAsync(List<ffbc.ConsolidationService.ConsolidationWithRuleAsyncRequest> requests)

Runs the consolidation process using the supplied list of consolidation rules. Parallel background processes are started for each valid consolidation rule in the set.
A consolidation rule is valid if all of the following are true:
- It is not being currently used in another consolidation process.
- Its Consolidation Grouping Method field is populated.
- Its Record Filter field is populated with a filter that retrieves billing documents with the "Draft" status.
The record filter linked to the rule selects billing documents. Once retrieved, the billing documents are grouped together by the related consolidation grouping method and consolidated in the background process.
If DocumentDate is supplied, it overrides the existing values on the consolidated billing documents. Checkboxes that contain conflicting values have the default value of the checkbox on the consolidated document. All other fields on the consolidated billing document are unchanged.
