Add Field which is mandatory for posting

Posted on by 15

I want to add a field in a sales order that is mandatory when posting it. It should only be allow to post if the field is not empty. Solutions like ShowMandatory or NotBlank are not an option.
I think I need a CodeUnit for that - or is there another way?

    Testfield is the correct function to use if you want to check if an field is empty.

    You can try this....

    IF Rec."field Name"=' ' THEN// Single Quotation Marks without space.

     ERROR('Enter  value for the field ');

    else

    ...

      //code when the field is not empty.

    ;

    Add the above code in trigger OnAction of Post button.

    Hope this helps.

    You need a codeunit to subscribe to the event OnBeforePostSalesDoc of Codeunit 80 Sales-Post

    add your condition to check whether the field is filled or not and throw error if not.
