MultiPage and Closed Objects

MULTI_WITHCLOSED

* effective from version 3.1

Background: it is not always guaranteed that all objects of a selection have the same status when starting the MultiPage. It can even happen e.g. that one cost center in the selection area has already been closed, while others are still available for the planning.

Note:

This can also be an intended behavior, e.g. if planning is performed in successive steps and then one cost center from step (1) is only aimed to serve as a reference in the further step (2).

In standard cases, Allevo allows planning only if all selected objects have a valid planning status (i.e. status 1 to 3). If not, Allevo switches to the reporting mode: the button “adopt planning data” is then automatically hidden.

However, if the constant MULTI_WITHCLOSED is activated (X in column Value from), the planning mode remains open:  the status is then checked for each object (e.g. cost center) before the planning data transfer is started. No planning data are transferred for closed objects; a corresponding entry appears in the Allevo execution log (see the constant SUPPRESS_EMPTYWARNING for completely suppressing the message if required).

Note:

Constant STATUS_READ_ALL is used to provide an extended controlling function for any objects without status (see belonging F1 documentation).
