• What Java classes and methods define the document's behavior?
  • The model class MInOut.java - this class extends the base model X_M_InOut, implements the DocAction interface. The most interesting methods involved in the Material Receipt workflow are:
    • MInOut.prepareIt() -
    • MInOut.completeIt() -
    • MInOut.voidIt() - This method voids already created document. If the document was not completed then it simply sets the quantities to zero.
    • MInOut.reverseCorrectIt() - This method creates a reversal document. This is done by making a copy of the current document and negating the quantity. Finally it completes the reversal document and closes both the original and reversal documents.

• • The posting class Doc_InOut.java - this class extends the abstract class Doc with concrete implementations of the methods for accounting of documents.
    • Doc_InOut.post() - respoinsible for performing the posting of the document. It calls Doc_InOut.postLogic()
    • Doc_InOut.postLogic() - creates the actual account entries.
