EAMakeCreationDateAlwaysBefore

This document was generated using Claude.ai

Overview

Adjusts document creation dates to ensure they always occur before a specified hour by synchronizing with value date and subtracting random milliseconds.

When This Action Runs

Document date enforcement for DocumentFile entities requiring creation time constraints within business hour limitations.

How It Works

  1. Validates document value date and synchronizes creation date with it
  2. Compares creation hour with specified maximum hour
  3. Subtracts random milliseconds backward until time is before specified hour
  4. Protects start-of-day boundary to prevent invalid times
  5. Updates creation date maintaining consistency with value date

Parameters

Parameter 1: Hour (Required) - Maximum hour (0-23) before which creation time must occur (default: 12 if empty)

Database Tables Affected

  • DocumentFile Creation Date - Updates creation date field with adjusted time aligned to value date
  • Document Date Fields - Synchronizes related date fields for consistency
  • Self-Contained Operation - Changes isolated to target document only

Important Warnings

⚠️ Document Timing Integrity

  • Original creation time is permanently modified
  • May affect time-based document sequences
  • Changed creation times may have audit implications

⚠️ Requirements

  • Only works with DocumentFile entities
  • Requires valid value date on the document
  • Hour parameter must be valid (0-23)

⚠️ Business Impact

  • May impact workflows dependent on precise creation timing
  • May affect calculations dependent on creation time
  • May affect integration with systems expecting original times
