Customization Overview

Please completely review this important document prior to making any changes to the Integral Accounting Enterprise System!

Many customers ask how to preserve their custom changes to the Integral Accounting Enterprise system when we release new versions of the software. The solution to this problem is very simple, all of your custom changes to the program can be kept in a separate directories in the project files. The Integral Accounting Enterprise Application is designed as a Dot Net Solution, with all of the features being implemented as sub-projects to the main solutions. 

Each of the Enterprise layers is implemented as a project in the main enterprise solution. The Web Service layer project is called EnterpriseWS, The ASP Dot Net Presentation Layer project is called EnterpriseASP, and the VB Dot Net presentation layer project is called EnterpriseVB.

For each of these projects, there is a directory for each of the main accounting functions. You can add your own directories to these projects, with their own name and code, and all of your code will persist no matter how we change our system. 

When you define your custom code as a sub-directory to our main project, and we issue a new release,  you can simply "re-attach" the files in your directory to the project, and all of your modifications made within that sub-directory will be preserved completely, and only minor modifications will be required to re-integrate your custom code back into the enterprise project.
