If you want to control the SysOperationExecutionMode and/or the server method to be executed via the MenuItem in a SysOperation construct, you can control this via the properties of the MenuItem.

Scenario: Without own controller

The following two MenuItems show how to set the properties for them:

This MenuItem calls the runService() method of a service class and sets the SysOperationExecutionMode to Synchronous:

If you want to make sure that a function implemented via the SysOperation-framework is always executed via batch processing, you can set the SysOperationExecutionMode to ScheduledBatch (e.g. via the MenuItem of the controller - see here).

If this is a function that requires a user dialog, however, the problem is that the "Batch" tab is displayed by default and, for example, the "Batch" check box is not activated there.

Of course you can activate this checkbox by including a call to parmBatchExecute() in the UIBuilder:

public void build()
{
    super();

    this.controller().batchInfo().parmBatchExecute(this.controller().parmExecutionMode() == SysOperationExecutionMode::ScheduledBatch);
}

The following job shows how to create and post a free text invoice by code.

static void createAndPostFreeTextInvoice(Args _args)
{
    CustInvoiceTable custInvoiceTable;
    CustInvoiceLine custInvoiceLine;
    DimensionDefault dimensionDefault; 
    LedgerDimensionAccount ledgerDimensionAccount;     
    CustPostInvoice custPostInvoice;
    
    try
    {
        ttsBegin;        
        
        // Create header
        custInvoiceTable.clear();
        custInvoiceTable.initValue();
        custInvoiceTable.OrderAccount = "US-004";
        custInvoiceTable.modifiedField(
            fieldNum(CustInvoiceTable, OrderAccount));
        custInvoiceTable.insert();
        
        // Create line
        custInvoiceLine.clear();
        custInvoiceLine.initValue();
        custInvoiceLine.ParentRecId = custInvoiceTable.RecId;
        custInvoiceLine.initFromCustInvoiceTable(custInvoiceTable);
        custInvoiceLine.Description = "Test";
        custInvoiceLine.Quantity = 10;
        custInvoiceLine.modifiedField(
            fieldNum(CustInvoiceLine, Quantity));
        custInvoiceLine.UnitPrice = 200;
        custInvoiceLine.modifiedField(
            fieldNum(CustInvoiceLine, UnitPrice));
        
        ledgerDimensionAccount = 
        DimensionDefaultingService::serviceCreateLedgerDimension(
            DimensionStorage::getDefaultAccountForMainAccountNum(
                "110110"), 
                dimensionDefault); 
        
        custInvoiceLine.LedgerDimension = ledgerDimensionAccount;
        custInvoiceLine.modifiedField(
            fieldNum(CustInvoiceLine, LedgerDimension));
        custInvoiceLine.insert();
        
        // Post
        custPostInvoice = new CustPostInvoice(custInvoiceTable);
        custPostInvoice.run();
        
        ttsCommit;
    }
    catch
    {
        throw error(error::wrongUseOfFunction(funcName()));
    }
}

This is what a free text invoice looks like:
