How to track shipment creation in Infor CSI when shipping bypasses IDO events?

Ravi Teja

In Infor CSI, when we process shipments from the Order Shipping form, the system creates records in the co_ship_mst table.
From our analysis, the actual insert happens inside core stored procedures (for example during CO shipping), and not through the SLCoitemShps IDO.

Because of this, IdoPostItemInsert / IdoOnItemInsert events on SLCoitemShps do not fire, which makes it difficult to track shipment creation using an IDO event handler.

If tracking cannot be done through IDO event handlers:

• What is the recommended / supported approach to track shipment creation?
• Is using a SQL trigger on co_ship_mst the preferred option?
• Are there any ALTGEN / extension hooks / workflows / ION options that can be used to capture shipment creation and
  • send notifications, or
  • write a record to a tracking table immediately?

Looking for guidance on the best and upgrade-safe approach to track shipments in real time.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hello,

if your in CSI10 Cloud, one option is you can activate replication in CSI10 for the co_ship table and send it to mingle.. in mingle create a dataflow and invoke back to csi10 passing the co ship rowpointer and store it to a temp ido..you can then bind this ido to AES on item insert. this will be almost real time and will capture even sql level table changes..
