Acumatica Action Buttons for the Writeback
When writing back data to Acumatica, you can add action buttons to your workbook to trigger specific Acumatica operations directly from the sheet. These buttons work alongside the Writeback Wizard and let you perform actions like creating or releasing records in Acumatica without leaving Nectari.
The button is added through the Action Button Wizard in the Analysis tab. You need to configure the Writeback Wizard before adding action buttons.
