Groovy Script

In Mind, Cloud provides the ability to write custom logic on top of standard application functionality in groovy scripts to cater to custom business requirements that cannot be solved through configuration. Some sample scenarios could be:

• Integrate with arbitrary external systems for order creation, pricing, document storage, approval via BAPIs
• implement non-standard ERP integration
• Define general application behavior such as defaulting of values, copy behavior, etc.
• Influence pricing or availability of custom attributes values
• Implement functions on top of Google Maps API
• Prepare content before generating a PDF quote

Specific features (not a complete list) are:

The scripts can be loaded in the master data management tab of the administration work center under ‘Administration’ > ‘Master Data Management’ > ‘Groovy Scripts’ or, if there have been groovy scripts uploaded already, under ‘Administration’ > ‘Content Management’ > ‘groovy’.

Pricing: Update and Remove Functions

A Create function should always have an Update and a Remove operation available since otherwise due to several circumstances operations do leave the model space. In this case, the delete library function is missing in the Groovy library.​

Proposed solution:​

• create new method underclass SalesItemNode to delete price item​

Groovy Script on Create and Update

Exit points are supported to write a groovy script after creating and updating. The user(s) can use these to improve data quality by adding validation checks, calculating, and defaulting values based on custom logic to leverage them on their initial implementation to meet the ever-changing business requirements. These exit points are available on creating and after saving for the following key objects:

1. Account
2. Opportunity
3. Product
4. Quote

While this can solve many problems, below are just some examples of frequently requested features:

• Account: on save check if account domain is empty, then use contact e-mail to fill it, to improve duplicate check
• Account: on create use address to default the right Sales Org, Distribution channel, division, currency.
• Opportunity: Use account region to default Sales Org, Use ABC classification to default distribution channel (Direct vs digital), use account prospect to decide division / type - New Business vs Upsell
• When the ERP ID of a product changes, add the old ERP ID in a custom field (append values comma separated), to track old IDs.
