Edit After Save Event in Merciglobal Cloud ERP

Overview

The Edit After Save event (<tablename>_edit_aftersave) is a customizable event hook in Merciglobal Cloud ERP that is triggered after a new record is successfully inserted into the database.

This event is particularly useful when you want to perform additional operations after a record has been created — such as logging, sending notifications, or triggering workflows.

Attention: The events are available only for the **form tables**.

Function Signature

Write in /libfuncs.php 

function <tablename>_edit_aftersave($nNewMasterID = 0) {
    // Your custom logic here
}
Note: Replace tablename with your desired tablename

Parameter:

  • $nNewMasterID (int): The unique ID of the newly inserted record.
  • This is automatically passed by the system when the record is created.
  • It allows you to fetch or manipulate the data after it is being edited and saved.

Use Cases

Here are a few practical examples of how this event can be used:

  • 🔔 Send a confirmation email to the user after editing a record.
  • 🧾 Generate a reference code or custom ID based on the record ID.
  • 🧮 Trigger calculations or update related tables.
  • 🗃️ Log the creation into an audit trail for future traceability.
  • 📊 Initiate a background job or process automation.

Example

Here's a simple example to log the new record ID: 

function trn_salesinvoice_edit_aftersave($nNewMasterID = 0) {
    // Log to file or database
}

Tips for Developers

  • Always validate the $nNewMasterID before using it in queries.
  • Avoid long-running tasks directly inside the event — consider queuing or async operations.
  • Maintain modular logic: delegate complex operations to service/helper classes.
