Process extension point

A process extension is used to implement additional functionality in the LN application.

Use process extensions when changing the behavior of the LN application cannot be achieved with other extension types such as table extensions and session extensions. Ensure that those process extensions are prepared in the standard LN application.

Examples:

  • Skip printing or processing of LN data based on custom specific selection criteria.
  • Define your own criteria for composing invoices.

For the available Process Extensions, see the Infor LN Public Interfaces & Process Extensions Reference Guide (Infor Customer Portal KB2003722).

That guide describes also the procedure how to request new extendable processes in the LN standard application.

For the Process extension point there are two extension types:

  • Process
  • Custom Field

This diagram shows the position of the Process extension:

The LN standard application calls the process extension, if implemented. If the process extension requires additional information from the end user, the fields must be added to the session extension. For example information about new ranges for printing data.
