Question:

I need help with X++ in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. I want to execute custom code after a customer record is successfully saved, whether it is a new customer creation or an update to an existing customer.

For example, I have a custom method called RunTest() and I want it to be triggered automatically when the user enters customer information and clicks Save, but only after the record has been successfully written to the database.

I need the correct code, and I would appreciate it if you could provide me with an example. Thank you all.

How do you define "the record has been successfully written to the database"? That the INSERT statement was executed in database? That the out-most transaction has been comitted? Or somehow else?
It'll help if you explain your business scenario, so we understand the context of your question.

The usual approach is extending insert() and update() method (or handling the corresponding events). This happens inside a transaction, but if the transaction gets rolled back, both the customer changes and changes done by your code will be rolled back together. It's not a suitable solution in all cases, though. For example, if you want to call send a notification to external system, doing that inside a transaction would be wrong for several reasons.
