Business Activity Queries (BAQ)

Craft powerful queries with a clear design process that guides teams through table selection, relationships, and filters. This layout helps you build powerful data extractions quickly, ensuring everyone can compile meaningful insights from your ERP without steep learning curves.

Combine related tables seamlessly using auto-detected relationships or manual joins. Unify data from multiple sources in a single view, preserving context for cross-functional analysis. This streamlined approach cuts complexity and speeds up how you uncover deeper insights.

Use one BAQ as an input for another, merging multi-level queries into a centralized repository. Chain data sets for refined insights, minimizing repeated work. This layered structure amplifies reporting flexibility, letting you extend or adapt queries to evolving business needs.

Create custom fields by integrating advanced functions, operators, and BAQ constants. Automate data labels—like “Overdue” or “Priority”—without external coding. This in-tool logic empowers you to transform raw figures into meaningful metrics, enhancing everyday decision-making.

Choose from grids, charts, or dashboards to see query results from different angles. Tailor each view’s layout and filters for targeted analysis, speeding data-driven decisions. This flexibility supports diverse teams, helping them build relevant searches for specific goals.

Check live results immediately after adjusting a query, ensuring accuracy on the spot. Spot potential issues or oversights early and eliminate guesswork before finalizing. This proactive validation promotes trustworthy information in both strategic and day-to-day operations.

Transform query outputs into editable fields for direct changes. Revise key details on the fly through BAQ grids or embedded views, bypassing traditional back-and-forth steps. By cutting manual updates, teams respond faster to shifting needs and maintain consistent data.

Access over 800 predefined queries built on deep manufacturing industry knowledge. These queries cover essential ERP processes and can be adjusted to fit specific needs. This foundation accelerates setup, reduces query development time, and helps teams quickly extract relevant operational data.

BAQs provide structured data views that integrate seamlessly into custom Application Studio configurations. Users can embed query-driven insights directly into tailored screens, fields, and workflows, ensuring that configurations reflect accurate, real-time business data without requiring complex coding.

BAQs improve search accuracy by defining indexed fields, calculated values, and filtered data sets. Users can refine search results by tailoring BAQs to match specific business needs, enabling quick retrieval of critical ERP records and ensuring information aligns with operational priorities.

BAQs simplify Cloud SDK development by structuring data retrieval within user-defined fields and extensions. Developers can use BAQs to expose key ERP data via automatically generated REST endpoints, ensuring that integrations and custom applications access the most relevant and organized information.

BAQs support BPM automation by delivering structured data for decision-making within workflow rules. Queries filter and retrieve relevant records, allowing BPMs to trigger actions based on real-time conditions, enforce business logic, and streamline process automation across departments.

BAQs refine the data made available through REST APIs, creating structured views that external applications can query without direct database interactions. This approach optimizes system performance, simplifies integrations, and ensures external tools retrieve only necessary and validated ERP data.

BAQs enhance Epicor Functions by acting as standardized data sources for internal and external calls. These queries structure the data feeding functions, enabling consistent logic execution and reducing redundancy when integrating with applications, third-party tools, or custom automation workflows.
