Hi, Expert.
I have a basic question.
In BPC MS, is Script Logic the only way to implement business calculation?
As I know that we can implement BADIs in BPC NW, is there any thing like BADIs can be implemented in BPC MS to perform complex business calculations?
Thanks,
Eddy
Hi eddy,
In BPC MS for complex business calculations if Script Logic (the standard syntax) did not meet your needs you could write your own stored procedure in T-SQL to achive your desired result and call that to execute whatever you needed.
