Statement Contact Can Link to Billing Group During Account Creation (SFDCDEV-160)

This feature allows users to control the Suppress flag used by Aria for Salesforce to avoid callouts to Aria. Aria for Salesforce uses a Suppress flag in Apex code to suppress contact update callouts to Aria when updating contacts on billing group, payment methods and accounts internally. Previously, a custom client application trying to update a contact when creating a billing group or payment method using Aria for Salesforce did not see the contact update going to Aria. This was because the connector suppresses the contact callout during internal updates. To address this issue, this feature exposes the Suppress flag to client applications so they can control the Suppress flag in their customizations. This allows their application to leverage the Aria for Salesforce callouts to Aria during overlapping updates.

The following customization information allows you to link contacts to a billing group or payment method outside Aria for Salesforce, during creation of billing groups and payment methods by Aria for Salesforce.

The ASF3.AriaGlobalOperationResource class has the following static method to set the Suppress flag to true or false.

  • setSuppressAccountUpdateCallout(boolean)
  • setSuppressStatementContactUpdateCallout(boolean)
  • setSuppressBillingContactUpdateCallout(boolean)
  • setSuppressGetAcctDetailsCallout(boolean)
  • setSuppressGetAcctPlansCallout(boolean)
  • setSuppressAcctSuppFieldsCallout(boolean)

For the statement contact update callout, use the setSuppressStatementContactUpdateCallout(boolean) method as shown in the following example:

  1. Create a class to ensure that the trigger does not execute recursively or use any existing class to prevent it.
public Class checkRecursive
{ public static boolean isFirstRun = true; }

 

  1. Create a trigger based on the following example trigger:
trigger TestStatementCon on ASF3_Aria_Billing_Group_c (after insert, after update) {
String actId;
if(checkRecursive.isFirstRun == false )
{ return; }
checkRecursive.isFirstRun = false;
for (ASF3_Aria_Billing_Group_c abg : Trigger.new)
{ actId = abg.ASF3__Account__c; }
List<Account> ac = [select ASF3__Aria_Account_Contact__c from Account where id =: actId];
ASF3_Aria_Billing_Group_c abg = Trigger.New[0];
ASF3_Aria_Billing_Groupc billingGrp = new ASF3Aria_Billing_Group_c (id=abg.Id);
billingGrp.ASF3_Statement_Contactc = ac[0].ASF3Aria_Account_Contact_c;
ASF3.AriaGlobalOperationResource.setSuppressStatementContactUpdateCallout(false);
update billingGrp;
ASF3.AriaGlobalOperationResource.setSuppressStatementContactUpdateCallout(true);
}
