Inserting data in a table when the save button is pressed

Question

Hello all,
I have a form displaying all fields in a table. it contains an adjustment column which is null by default and also an adjustment flag which is set to NO by default
Now when the form is executed the user is able to add a value in that adjustment column and this value is stored in another table order_adjustment. Entries should be made in the adjustment table only when there is a change in the adjustment column and only for that value that was modified
create table order_adjustement
  adjustment_id number,
  oe_line_id number,
  adjustment_cnt number,
  created_by varchar2(100),
  created_date date,
  modified_by varchar2(100),
  modified_date date
)i have created a procedure in my form to insert my adjustment value
PROCEDURE p_adjustment IS
BEGIN
  insert into order_adjustement
    adjustment_id     ,
    oe_line_id        ,
    adjustment_cnt    ,
    created_by        ,
    created_date     
  values
    order_adjustment_seq.nextval,
    :oe_lines.oe_line_id,
    :oe_lines.adjusted_cnt,
    user,
    sysdate
END;i have used the trigger when new item instance on that adjustment field but the problem is that its not saving the value i am passing through it the first time but if i modify those same values then those values are recorded in the table.

for eg
for order 1 initially its adjustment_cnt is null
if i insert 1 then save, it saves the null value but if i change the 1 to 10 then it records 1, if i change the 10 to 20, it records 10.If you are calling that procedure in PRE-UPDATE then it should not happen like this. It should insert always the recent updated value.
It seems as if it keeps those values in a buffer.No nothing called buffer while updating and saving records in forms. Because you are using the field like :my_field_name so it should always give the current value which is in the item.
i have tried calling that trigger at block level but still doesnt workWhat did you try? And in which trigger did you try?
