Interfacing to Accounts Receivable

Overview

The Accounts Receivable System is designed to work with other subsystems by communicating with them through a series of interface programs and data files. The use of these interface programs and files allows this communication to be established with minimal or no modification to the Accounts Receivable System itself.

The Accounts Receivable System does not contain any names and addresses nor does it contain a chart of accounts for the General Ledger System. It relies on the interface communications with other subsystems for information and support processing.

A set of sample programs are provided with the General Ledger System. The sample source code for these programs is located in the library named IFGEN. The programs provided will interface with the General Ledger System and other subsystems provided by Business Applications, Inc. They will not communicate with any other subsystems with out modification.

A set of sample programs are provided with the Accounts Receivable System. The sample source code for these programs is located in the library named IFGEN. The programs provided will interface with the Accounts Receivable System and any other subsystems provided by Business Applications, Inc. However, they will not communicate with any other subsystems with out modification. Programs residing in library ARGEN are either Accounts Receivable System target or source programs and should not be modified. All modifications should be done by copying source code to IFUSER and then be compiled to library IFUSER.

It is the user's responsibility to insure these programs are modified to communicate with the user's subsystems.

These programs can be either CL or RPG depending on the requirements of the task being performed. CL programs are normally used when library lists need to be changed or modified in order to access other subsystems.

The IFUSER library should always exist in the library list of any user while performing Accounts Receivable functions.

Interface Calls To Accounts Receivable

The following are calls which can be made to the accounts receivable system to send information to the application, retrieve information from the application or to enter the application to display or work with information within the application.

This list assumes you are using the BAI General Ledger System. If not, there are other other interface programs which must be considered. There are other interfaces available beyond what are listed here. However they are not required to implement the system. If you feel you have a need for some additional interface, please contact Business Applications, Inc. for more information.

Interface Calls From Accounts Receivable

These programs may need to be modified in order to correctly access the information from or to feed information to your applications. Many are required to be modified. Any modified programs should reside in library IFUSER. They will then be used in place of supplied BAI interface programs when called. DO NOT place these programs in IFGEN library. If you do, they may be replaced when application updates are applied.

This list assumes you are using the BAI General Ledger System. If not, there are other other A/R to G/L interface programs which must be considered. Please contact Business Applications, Inc. for more information.

Samples of these programs can be found in QRPGSRC in library IFGEN.
