Sequence of Validation, action,determination

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I want to know what is the sequence of triggering validation, action, determination if am changing something on FO portal??

If have created customized  determination and action then how those will trigger??

Dear Debi,

To my knowledge, there is no such standard sequnce defined because they will be executed based on the underlying code and based on the various properties that you have defined for each element at BOPF level.

However ideally Validations are executed and then Actions/Determination is executed depending on what you have done at the UI level.

Actions are associated with Buttons on UI level.

Determinations are used to create/modify/update the node level data

Hope my reply has given you enough understanding.

Let me know if you have any specific scenario.

Thanks,

Hello Bharat,

Thanks for your comment. Will you please explain any scenario, and how it work?

2nd of this question is, if we create any customizing determination/action/validation.and we have to implement it so that our customizing part will trigger.what we have to do? I am aware of how to create them, in for determination there is a provision of preceder and succer determination name we have to put.But I want to know how to find out that position??

Thanks In advance Bharat.

Dear Debi,

There is a clear separation between usage and when to create Action, Determination and Validation.

To answer your question about predecessor and successor, SAP recommends to create only one determination per node except ROOT node. If your requirement demands to have more than one determination on the same node, then you can apply this concept of pre / successor concept.

Validation - This is executed whenever you are performing some modify/update/delete functions on particular node. Modify/update/delete functions are achieved using Determination. In short, whenever a determination of particular node is called then corresponding validations gets executed before database commit from BOPF buffer.

Let me know if you still have any confusion.

Thanks,

Bharath.
