Change Data State on Transaction Without Step

[Former Member]

Here's my scenario...I want to be able to put a flag or some other indicator on each transaction object indicating whether or not it's ready for transmit.  Essentially the user is going to complete a collection of transactions and then hit a button to "complete" them and transmit them.  If they do a transmit before they hit the "complete" button then it will not submit the transactions.  Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

There is flag @NeedsXmit that you can use also in case of Work Manager you can refer how "isEdited" field is used on Work Order or Notification objects. If you are using Inventory Manager then check the Order (PO).

Basically you will not have a Backend step on the Transaction but you will update the isEdited Field. You create another Transaction with backend step (For Ex: WorkOrderPost or NotificationPost) which is triggered on Transmit Action based on an execution rule that check if the flag = X
