Link Item Help

Question

Hello Experts,
I am very new to OA Framework. I have the following requirement. User selects some parameters like Org Code, Buyer etc and clocks Go button. The page displays item information in a table. I need to display the item number as a link. If user clicks on the item the link should open standard Item form for that particular item. I could make the item number a link and on the navigation property of the link item I gave the standard function code of Item form (INV_INVIDITM_ORG) as the destination function. By doing this, I could open the applications but prompted to select the org code. I understood that I need to pass some parameters. Can somebody please help me? How can I pass the parameters and also how can I set the org from OA fwk page to avoid prompting of or code LOV?
Please help!
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Trevor -
I would think the easiest thing to do is expose the items "edit item link" with an associated function.
In the Item type properties, on the Function tab, you can call a PL/SQL procedure. Most item attributes are readily available to pass. You can simply pick ITEM_ID from the poplist to pass as an argument to your procedure.
Then it is just a matter of ensuring you check the "Display Procedure Results with Item" checkbox, and finally make sure the region properties are set to have "Associated Functions" attributes listed as one of the "Displayed Attributes".
Hope this helps,
