Groovy Script – In Mind Cloud

In Mind, Cloud provides the ability to write custom logic on top of standard application functionality in groovy scripts to cater for 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:

#	Field Name	Description
1	Retrieve details of a quote line item	- Object name - ERPID - Product type - Product URI - SalesItem URI - Quantity - Value of a dynamic attribute
2	Change the quantity of a line item
3	Filter children by	- Product / ERP ID - Product type - Dynamic Attribute
4	Get parent/children of a line item
5	Check whether a line item contains a dynamic attribute
6	Set value of the dynamic attribute
7	Change the parent line item
8	Add child line items
9	Split/copy delete line items
10	Send notification to the user

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 an 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.
