Documents and Entities

Top  Previous  Next

All accounting Documents and supporting Entities are stored in the ObjAcct database and are saved and retrieved in DataSets using the ObjAcct Framework API. 

 

Document DataSets - Documents refer to a logical group accounting transactions, such as: Invoices, Bills, Journal Entries.  All Document DataSets have at least two tables, Header and Transaction,  which have a parent-child relationship.  An Address table may also be returned containing addresses for Entities that may be referenced in the Document (for example a CustomerInvoice DataSet will contain an Address table containing the Address for the Customer).

 

Entity DataSets - Entities refer to master tables, such as:  Account, Class, Customer, Vendor, Employee, etc.  All Entity DataSets contain at least one table named "Entity" containing the requested record.  An Address table may also be returned containing addresses for the requested Entity.

 

All DataSets returned by the ObjAcct Framework also contain an ObjAcctInfo table which contains error and timestamp information.
