I have an issue with a custom event in the Customer Order screen in IFS APPS10.

“Order Category” is a Custom Field on that screen. I want to:

Check that “Order Type” contains “INT” and if it has “INT” check that “Order Category” is not empty and prevent the Order being saved if it is empty.

But when I set the custom Event to check what is in “Order Category” it tells me there is no value (because it hasn’t been saved yet). It displays the Order Type but does not have a value for Order Category.

I get the Order Category by joining the rowkey of the Order Category table (CUSTOMER_ORDER_CFT) on the Objkey of the Order Type table (CUSTOMER_ORDER). 

How do I get the event to delay until it has saved the Order Category ? Would a Deffered Call do it?
