Edit After Save Event in Merciglobal Cloud ERP

Overview

The Edit After Save event (_edit_aftersave) is a customizable event hook in Merciglobal Cloud ERP. It is triggered after a new record is successfully inserted into the database. This event is particularly beneficial for executing additional operations post-record creation, such as logging, sending notifications, or initiating workflows.

⚠️ Note: Events are applicable only for form tables.

Function Signature

Add the custom logic in the /libfuncs.php file.

function _edit_aftersave($nNewMasterID = 0) {
    // Your custom logic here
}

📌 Note: Replace tablename with the specific table you are targeting.

Parameters:

  • \$nNewMasterID (int): The unique identifier of the newly inserted record.

  • Automatically passed by the system upon record creation.

  • Useful for retrieving or manipulating the data after editing and saving.

Use Cases

Here are practical applications for this event:

  • 🔔 Send confirmation emails after editing a record.
  • 🧾 Auto-generate reference codes or custom identifiers.
  • 🧮 Perform backend calculations or update associated tables.
  • 🗃️ Create audit trail logs for traceability.
  • 📊 Launch background processes or automation tasks.

Example Implementation

Below is an example illustrating how to use this event to log a new record ID:

function trn_salesinvoice_edit_aftersave($nNewMasterID = 0) {
    // Example: Log to a file or database
    error_log("Record inserted with ID: $nNewMasterID");
}

Tips for Developers

  • ✅ Validate $nNewMasterID before using it in any database operations.
  • ⚙️ Avoid heavy processing within the event function—consider asynchronous jobs or queues.
  • 🧩 Modularize your code: Use service/helper classes for complex logic.
