In Sage X3, there are certain requirements when you need to call a pop-up screen and even in standard X3, we have a lot of examples where a lot of pop-up screens open up on certain actions like before creation or modification or after tapping through certain fields and all. For e.g., we have a certain screen of lot modifications which opens up on Miscellaneous receipt screen after entering a complete line depending on the product’s stock entries, also there are a couple of screens like stock issues etc. which opens up on sales delivery, purchase receipts and all. So, these pop-up screens always play an important role where extra detailed information can be saved which can be helpful to determine a complete status of a particular line or data.
So, if we have some requirements where a screen needs to be called after certain actions of creation, modification or after some fields then we can call a particular customized screen designed by us through code.
So in this blog we are going to see how we can have an action based screen through code where a code can be placed in any specific action of creation or modification or deletion to put some restriction or validation before the same action.
Steps to be followed :
In sage X3, we need to create an action based screen and window then we can call the same screen through code.
We need to navigate to All -> Development -> Script dictionary -> Screen and need to create a new customized screen of our use and requirements. Kindly refer below screenshot for the same.
Then we need to create a window which holds that screen so navigate to All -> Development -> Script dictionary -> Window and create a new window which has that screen. Kindly refer below screenshot for the same.
Then after creating a new window, we need to create a new action which holds that window and by that a screen which can be opened through code. Navigate to All -> Development -> Script dictionary -> Action and create a new action for the same. Kindly refer below screenshot for the same.
Then we need to write a code which can be called as per our requirements of specific actions like creation, modifications, etc. Kindly refer below snippet of code for the same.
By using the above code, we can call or open an action-based screen on any specific action.
