BACKGROUND

The SOC program works inside the Pro Sales Order Module. When an line item is entered on a sales order that requires configuration, the SOC screen is called. This is accomplished by adding a series of "hooks" into the Pro sales order code.

Hooks are invisible to the sales order code. They simply call a SOC function if that program is present and then return control to the Pro program.

ADDING THE HOOKS TO PRO

The WorkShop HTML manual explains the preparation and installation procedures for the SOC. Instructions for installing the hooks however are dependent on the version of Pro being used. Those instruction can be downloaded from the TIW web site.

The instructions are in a text file and explain where and how to add the hooks. The actual hooks can be simply copied from the text file and pasted into the appropriate places in the Pro code. If you are uncomfortable adding the hooks, you can arrange with TIW to do it for you - no charge!
