PL/SQL validation routine can be called to replace the default "submit" function on a timesheet. When a timesheet is submitted, if the timesheet does not meet the criteria of the validation routine, a customer defined message will appear as a pop up dialog and the timesheet will not change status.

!Function Definition
The function must be defined in the data base as a PL/SQL function.
The message will be text and will need to be a predefined hardcoded value built into the MESSAGE_TEXT field.
!Function Definition (PL/SQL)

** If you are going to have many conditions that will require validation, you may find it advantageous to create a package with your customer prefix, and then include all the different validation routines as seperate functions within that package. This keeps all your work together in one place.

Once the function and system message has been established, all the functions that will use the routine must be set up. There are two steps required on each function in which the routine is to be called

2) On the Form Layout tab, add the PTS.ACT_VALIDATE_SUBMIT_TIME_SHEET_NO_DLG to the form. If the form is "Pre-Loaded" use object security to remove the default PTS.ACT_SUBMIT_TIME_SHEET option (If custom, the PTS.ACT_SUBMIT_TIME_SHEET can be delete from the form).

[More User Formula Examples|USER_FORMULA_EXAMPLES]
This function can be tested with the following select statements:
* {{SELECT ACME_PADAYS(12345) FROM DUAL;}} where 12345 is the ID of an employee's EMPLOYMENT record ([IEEI])
* {{SELECT ACME_PADAYS(ID) FROM P2K_HR_EMPLOYMENTS WHERE ...}}etc. will take the ID straight from the table.
!!Table Definition (IMCD)
Once we have the function defined and working, we can extend the table (in our example [P2K_HR_EMPLOYMENTS]) to include this User Formula Column. This is done in the [IMCD] screen by adding a new column with the following fields filled in:
;[Sequence]:It is recommended that you start your sequencing at 9000 and work down, so as to not collide with provided sequence numbers
;[Column Name|COLUMN_NAME]:The name you wish to refer to this column in screen design. It is recommended that you start your column name with the same identifier as your function, so as to preclude confusion with provided values. (i.e. ACME_xxxx)
;[Prompt|FIELD_PROMPT]:This is optional, but recommended. Any prompt you provide here will be used in screen layouts, but can always be overridden at each usage.
;[Column Usage|COLUMN_USAGE]: __Must be User Formula__
;[Data Type|DATA_TYPE]: Must be the same type that the function returns (Number, Date, Varchar2)
;[Domain Name|DOMAIN]: __Must be of the type indicated by the function return__ ([DATE] for date fields; [VARCHARnn] for character fields (e.g. VARCHAR30); [NUMBERn] for whole number fields; [AMTnn]Vn for numeric fields with decimals, must be one of the standard set.
;[Length|VALUE_LENGTH]: Optional, but recommended
;[Format|VALUE_FORMAT]: Optional, but may be used for date or number variables
;[User Formula (Defaulted From)|DEFAULT_FROM]: __Must contain the name of the PL/SQL Function__
%%information
Note that once the field has been added to the table, you will not see this new field right away as this information is key to the application and thus will only be picked up on an instance restart.
Restart the application instance.

!!Screen Definition (IMFD)
Now that we have a field on the table that will return to us the value we wish, we can add this field to any form that has access to the ID referred to in the function / table definition. This is performed on the [IMFD] screen's form layout tab.
It is important to note that any such fields added, must be added with:
;[Item Type|ITEM_TYPE]:''Display Only'' so end users are not given the impression that they can update this value on the screen indicated.
;[Item Usage|FORM_ITEM_USAGE]: ''User Defined'' so it is not overlaid by a subsequent release.
