Flow
Flow API Name | Description |
ampi__Activity_After_Update | This flow assesses if fields ampi__Actual_End_Date__c or ampi__Actual_Start_Date__c were updated on an ampi__Activity__c record and populates the ampi__xx_Start_Date__c and ampi__xx_End_Date__c fields on the related ampi__Assignment__c record. |
ampi__Populate_Assignment_Date_Fields | This flow determines if values for ampi__xx_Start_Date__c and ampi__xx_End_Date__c are populated upon ampi__Assignment__c record creation. If not, they are populated via the flow and values from the related ampi__Activity__c record's field values for ampi__Actual_Start_Date__c and ampi__Actual_End_Date__c are copied onto the ampi__Assignment__c fields. |
ampi__Update_Date_Fields | This subflow is used in both the ampi__Populate_Assignment_Date_Fields and ampi__Activity_After_Update Flows to commit new ampi__xx_Start_Date__c and ampi__xx_End_Date__c date field values to the database. |
ampi__Update_Position_Cost_Fields | This subflow is used in both the ampi__Position_Trigger and Role_Trigger_Cost_Fields_Update Flows to commit new ampi__xx_Time_Unit_For_Costing__c and ampi__xx_Unit_Cost__c cost field values to the database. |
ampi__Populate_Position_Cost_Fields | The Flow triggers after record creation on ampi__Position__c and determines if ampi__xx_Time_Unit_For_Costing__c or ampi__xx_Unit_Cost__c are null and copies the values from the related ampi__Role__c record. |
ampi__Role_Trigger_Cost_Fields_Update | This flow determines if the ampi__xx_Default_Unit_Cost__c or ampi__xx_Default_Time_Unit_For_Costing__c fields were updated on an ampi__Role__c record and launches the ampi__Update_Position_Cost_Fields subflow. |
ampi__Good_Service_Trigger_Cost_Field_Update | This flow is triggered on update of an ampi__Good_Service__c record and determines if the ampi__xx_Expected_Cost__c field value was changed. If this field is updated, if a related ampi__Procurement_Requirement__c record exists with the ampi__xx__Planned_Unit_Cost__c field null, this flow copies the value into the ampi__xx_Expected_Cost__c field. |
ampi__Populate_Procurement_Requirement_Cost_Field_Trigger | This Flow updates the ampi__xx__Planned_Unit_Cost__c field on a new ampi__Procurement_Requirement__c record if the field is null and the ampi__Good_Service__c lookup field has been populated. |
ampi__Update_Procurement_Requirement_Field | This flow updates the ampi__xx__Planned_Unit_Cost__c field on ampi__Procurement_Requirement__c. |
