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?

Many thanks, in advance!

Menu item button should be fine, as you can launch the menu item for creating a journal using parameters rather than code then.

The trick is putting logic in the row onactivate event to enable/disable the button appropriately. Make sure the button is set Autodeclaration = true, and Enabled = no.  Then you can refer to it in the onactivate event of the grid, and do a test on the record selected’s status. If true, set to Enabled=yes, else no.

Marina,

   In order to change the state of the button in that example you want to use this method of the listpage interaction class: ClassesPurchTableListPageInteractionsetButtonEnabled.  You can see some of the other methods inside this which actually run logic.   You can use normal form methods on other forms to accomplish the same.

    You want to use menu items for your custom stuff.
