Posted on by MarinaAX 730

Hi All,

Could you please advise where and how to enable the following functionality:

  1. "Create Journal" (#1) Button should become active only when both following conditions are met:
    1. Purchase order should be selected (#3).
    2. The selected purchase order must have "Open order" status (#4).

  2. If both of the above mentioned conditions are not met then the "Create Journal" button should be disabled like "Intercompany Picking List" (#2)
  3. What type of button, should the "Create Journal" (#1) Button be:
    1. Command Button?
    2. Menu Item Button?

    Command buttons are used for standard action such as creating records and closing the form, but here you need custom logic, therefore a command button isn't a feasible choice. You could use a normal button and run some logic on click, but a menu item button is usually a better solution.

    You want to re-evaluate the condition when you switch to another order, therefore you should do it from active() method of PurchTable datasource.
