Feeder Logic

You will use a Feeder logic when you need to:

• Feed/supply objects to process in another logic/process.

  • Commonly used in the rebate allocation process.

Logic API

• Logic Nature: default

  • Logic Type: Calculation/Pricing

• Execution Types:

  • Input Generation - to define the input fields.

  • Standard - to find out which objects we want to process and emit those objects.

• Information provided to the logic:

• In Standard mode:

  • input[] - Values entered by the user in configuration of the process (e.g., usually the feeder inputs values entered on allocation calculation Data Load configuration page).

  • api.currentItem() - The context, in which it runs (likely the Data Load process definition).

• Expected logic execution outcome:

  • From Input Generation mode:

    • Input field definitions

  • From Standard mode execution:

    • Emit the objects to be processed by the process, which is using this Feeder. You can use several methods to achieve that, for example:

      • api.emitRebateRecords()

Code Sample

• DL_BonusOnSales_Feeder - Example of logic emitting the objects - in this case Rebate Records.

• DL_BonusOnSales_RebateAllocation - Example of logic, which is consuming/using the objects (Rebate Records) emitted by the Feeder logic.
