Before
Missing or inconsistent data is discovered only at the next stage of document handling.
After
The interface checks data against defined rules and flags required information.
The right information and action where the user works
Comarch ERP XL interface customization and extensions
For companies operating in Poland, we extend Comarch ERP XL windows and features with additional reports, data validation, reminders, editing restrictions, and buttons that launch processes. The user takes the right action in the context of the document, while the system enforces the rules required for subsequent handling.
Challenge and outcome
Users should not have to look outside the document for the rule
A standard ERP window stores data and provides system functions, but a company process sometimes requires an additional check, report, or connection to another application. When a user checks requirements in a manual, transfers data manually, and launches another tool separately, the number of steps and the risk of missing information both increase.
Before
The user leaves the document, opens another tool, and searches again for the required data.
After
An additional button transfers data to an application, opens a program, or takes the user to the correct form.
Before
Editing rights do not reflect the user responsibilities defined by the internal process.
After
Restrictions limit selected actions, while the extension logs operations on specified objects.
What we implement
Extensions for Comarch ERP XL windows and features
We build additional solutions for an operating Comarch ERP XL system. We define the scope based on the object, data, users, and the process that begins or continues in a given window.
Additional reports
We give the user a report related to the area being handled. The information needed for a decision remains available in the user’s work environment.
Data validation
The extension compares entered information with defined rules. Validation takes place where the user creates or changes data.
Missing-data reminders
The user is notified about missing data before the document reaches a stage where that omission would stop further handling.
Editing restrictions
We restrict editing for selected users or all users. Rules block an action that should not be performed on a given object.
Buttons and actions
We add actions that launch an automated process, transfer data to another application, or open an external program.
User action log
The extension records user actions on selected objects so the handling history can be reviewed.
How it works
From a business rule to an action in the ERP window
Customization does not begin by adding another field or button. We first determine what the user does with the document, what information is needed, and what should happen after the action.
01
Workspace
We identify the window, object, and task where the additional need arises.
02
Data and rule
We describe the input data, validation condition, and omission that should stop the action.
03
Permission and action
We establish who performs the operation and whether the interface launches a process, report, or application.
04
Next steps
We pass data to the next step and record the user’s action on the specified object.
05
Testing
We test valid data, omissions, restrictions, and action execution for the appropriate users.
Processes and external applications
One ERP button launches the entire next step
The additional action runs in the context of the selected object and the data available in Comarch ERP XL. The user does not prepare a separate set of information for the next application or search for the same document again.
The button launches an automated process, transfers data to another solution, opens an external program, or takes the user to the appropriate ERP form. If the subsequent flow has several stages, we connect the interface extension to a Comarch ERP XL process.
One user action
- Launch an automated process for the current object.
- Transfer data to another application.
- Open an external program.
- Go to the correct form in ERP XL.
- Record the action on the selected object.
Who it is for
When the company’s workflow goes beyond the standard screen
Interface extensions are designed for organizations that want to keep Comarch ERP XL as the primary workspace while enforcing their own rules and reducing the need to switch between tools.
Multiple data-quality rules
A document must contain specific information before the user takes the next action.
Different responsibilities
Selected users edit an object, while others use the data without permission to make specified changes.
Work across several applications
ERP data is passed onward, and an external program opens without manually rebuilding the context.
Operational oversight
The company records actions performed by users on selected ERP XL objects.

Frequently asked questions about ERP XL interface extensions
What does Comarch ERP XL interface customization involve?
It includes additional windows, reports, buttons, actions, data-validation rules, reminders, and restrictions that Astrafox builds around Comarch ERP XL. The extensions align work in the system with the company’s rules and responsibilities.
Can data be validated as it is entered into ERP XL?
Yes. The extension checks entered data against defined rules and flags missing information. The scope of validation depends on the specific object, data, and subsequent process flow.
Can selected users be prevented from editing specific data?
Yes. We implement editing restrictions for selected users or all users. The rule specifies the object or action covered by the restriction and who retains editing rights.
What can an additional button in Comarch ERP XL launch?
An additional button launches an automated process, transfers data to another application, opens an external program, or takes the user to the correct form in the system.
Does the extension log user actions?
Yes. Astrafox extensions log user actions on selected objects. We define the recorded operations based on the process and the information needed to monitor it.
