Updating field when new records saved.

Hi,
I was wondering if there are any suggestions on updating a picklist field when a new record is saved (as field updates only work for modified records).
We recently created a custom Probability % field that is tied to both the Sales Stage and another custom picklist field called "Business Type" (has two options - New or Existing). The Probability % field is updated based on a simple workflow that says if Sales Stage = x and Business Type = y, then Probability % = z.
For example, if the Sales Stage is = to "Validation" and the Business Type is = to "New", the Prob. % will be 5. If the Sales Stage is = to "Validation" and the Business Type is = to "Existing", the Prob. % will be 10... (just so you get the idea).
Since the workflow is tied to modified records, the new records keep missing the Probability % field.
Any suggestions on how we can get those newly created records have an updated Prob. % field would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, Min.
1) I've thought about the post default value, but the problem we encounter is that the user might not create an Opportunity in the very first sales stage- is there a way to place a default in the Prob. % field depending on the sales stage the record is created with?
2) I thought fields could only be updated when modified records saved - it isn't an option with the "new record is saved". Is there a workaround? I'm still quite new at this, so any help on how I can create a workaround would be great!
Thanks again.

No "before new record saved" trigger event in workflow definition ?

Hello,
I have following problem: I have to make a simple integration, where products have information about available quantity of given product . Assume we have field - it is called "Available amount" and it tells how many products are on stock. Now suppose we have created an opportunity, and we want to add Opportunity Product Revenue - we're selecting product and then quantity. I want to make OCOD to display message and prevent from adding opportunity product revenue, when its quantity is greater than "Available amount" field which is present in associated product record. I've created small C# application and used workflows to create Integration events. It works - but not exaclty how I want it - when I add a new record the workflow generates integration event - but I'd like to generate integration event before a record is created, also I'd like to show a notification from OCOD. But for "revenue" we do not have a trigger event called for example : "before new record saved" - we have only "when new record saved" and "before modified record saved".

Hi,
From your requirement, it seems you, want some kind of check. Did you try puting this validation on field level, i guess you would need to join fields and compare in field validation. So, whenever user creates a new record this validation kicks and user is notified of the error.

How to undo update of checkbox after triggering when-new-record-instance

Hi,
I am using eBusiness Forms Personalization in 11.5.10 to alter the Receipts form in Purchasing. I want to prevent users checking the rcv_transaction checkbox if the destination is "Multiple" and, instead, click the "+" sign to explode the multiple record into it's many component records.
I can do this by invoking the when-new-record-instance trigger to make the "multiple" record fields unalterable and issue a warning message when the user selects such records. However, my problem is that - if the user clicks the checkbox as the first field in a "multiple" record, then this updates the checkbox to "Yes" BEFORE the trigger fires, which then locks the record for update.
What I need is a solution that either sets the checkbox to unalterable for "multiple" records BEFORE the user clicks into such records, OR a method of undoing the update of the checkbox after the record has been selected (I cannot do this by simply setting it to "No" by the trigger as this is still technically an update and locks the record).
Cheers
Graham

Hi Navnit,
Yes you are right, but it can work even we not plase quotation mark in it. But Yes I forget to place semi colon so now it is
IF :System.Cursor_Record = 1 THEN
   :Block.Col1 := '02:00';
ElsIF :System.Cursor_Record = 2 THEN
   :Block.Col1 := '07:00';
   ------and so on
END IF;Danish

How to discover which field was clicked in when-new-record-instance

Suppose: a multi-record block. The user is positioned on an existing record on field A
Action: user clicks on empty (new) record on field B
Question: how can I discoverer that the user clicked on field B in the when-new-record-instance? Already tried :system.current_item and :system.trigger_item. They both contain 'field A'.
Edited by: user473811 on 26-aug-2010 4:56

That should work. What version of forms are you running?
I tested it out on Forms 9.0.4 just to make sure and :system.current_field, :system.current_item, :system.cursor_field, and :system.cursor_item all bring back field B when I run the form in debug mode. Is there logic in your when-new-record-instance trigger that is taking you back to field A before you look at the :system variables?
I would run the form in debug mode if I was you and break on the first thing in the WNRI trigger and just step through it looking at those system variables so you can see what it happening, but it should work unless you have some bugged up version of forms or are doing a go_item in the trigger back to field A.

How to detect when new record is created?

How can I detect when new record is created in PA30? For example, a newly create record for infotype 6 (address).
Can I get the information in PCL4?

Hi Irene,
the field PAnnnn-AEDTM, nnnn is the infotype number, will give you the date when the record was last changed.
Not sure if you can precisely get the date when the infotype was created. I dont feel the need to read cluster form the same.

Hai,
The NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE Trigger will work only when the cursor moves to that record.
write in the POST-QUERY Trigger of the block.

Commit_form creating issue with When-New-Record-Instance trigger

Hello friends,
I am using Oracle forms 6i . I have a multi-data block. I have written commit_form in when-new-record-instance of the data block. When I launch the form on my instance the form does not open.
But when I comment out this code, the form opens on the instance. What could be the exact problem?
Also is there any condition that I can specify if the whole data block is null when I open the form?

Hi...
In When-New-Record-Instance, check if the block status is NEW. If Not, then just apply COMMIT_FORM;
try this code in your trigger
IF :SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS = 'CHANGED'
THEN
COMMIT_FORM;
END IF;
Should work for you.
Thanks....

When new record instance not firing on Purchase Order form

I query a purchase order and click on the shipment lines button. There are 2 shipment lines in this example. I am using CUSTOM.pll to inject some specific code to restrict the cancel functionality. One line I want to restrict the cancel functionality and the other line I don't want to restrict. The problem arises when I click between the two rows on the Org or Ship to fields. No event or trigger gets fired that I can see; hence, the CUSTOM.pll code does not get injected and the user will be able to cancel both lines. Any ideas? Thank you for your time,
-Kevin

What does that mean? In the middle of creating a record?
But how come system allows me to go to the 2nd tab when it goes to the last record and doesnt allow me to go the 2nd tab when i create in middle of the record
Seems that there is some difference in the data of the two records, maybe one record passing validation and the other one not.Validations are same, both the scenario it just creates a new record.

Moving to specific field in new record with mouse

Hi,
Is there any way of navigating directly to a field (by clicking on it with the mouse) on a new record in a block? The default behavior appears to be to focus on the first field(?)
Thanks in advance,
Nik

The order in the object navigator is ok.
You can check also these properties:
keep cursor position, insert allowed and update allowed.
If an item has insert allowes set to NO, then I think you could not move on it during creation of new record.
Hope it helps you,
Fabrizio

How to populate automatically in a when-new-record-instance trigger?

I have a form which displays around ten rows with about 5 columns. Whenever i will create a new record, i would like to place an initial value on the first column of every record. How do I do this? If I place the value in the properties of the item, it would be replicated on all the rows. What I want is to put a different value for each row created. But the problem is there is only one item property that i can put a value on (displayed 10 times). How do i put different initial values for each record created without creating new items for each record. is this possible? Thanks a lot

Hi Navnit,

Event triggered in Maintainence view when new record are inserted

Hi Expert,
There is requirement , whenever i inserted a New Record through INSERT Command i.e. ABAP Statement NOT through Maintainence Generator, it should trigger a Event in maintainence Table for that table.
How to achieve this?
Regards,
Kapil.

It depends on your database and SQL tools available on your systems. You will be required to create a trigger in databaser server. (Should look like CREATE TRIGGER ... FOR <table> AFTER INSERT EXECUTE ...
Contact your database administrator, that is not an Abap subject at first. (The DB administator may be able to call abap then)

Raymond
