ACU.OBJECTDEFINITION

Overview

Use the ACU.OBJECTDEFINITION function to check for definitions of Acumatica DAC objects.
It returns the IDs, data types, and optionality of the specified object and its description, as well as related objects and their navigation properties.

It can be helpful when constructing queries with the ACU.QUERY function.

Use the ACU.EXPANDOBJECTRANGE function to retrieve the list of DAC objects.

Related object names (if available) and their navigation properties are listed at the bottom of the list returned by the function.

For example, to retrieve available fields for the related object BatchByBatchNbr, visible in the image above, use its navigation property PX.Objects.GL.Batch as follows:

=ACU.OBJECTDEFINITION(,"PX.Objects.GL.Batch")
