Make document attachment required on journal
Hi Everyone,
Our business team would like to make it mandatory to attach a document to every journal entry. I know this can be done via a confirmation rule. However, one of our business partners ...
As far as I know that does not exist. If you try the same question in ChatGPT it talks about a setting called 'Pre-Save Validation Rule' which definitely does not exist (but sounds like a great idea). The AI models do not understand OneStream so anything they say has to treated with caution. The only way you will be able to do this is to use an EventHandler. SaveDataEventHandler is probably your best bet - you can intercept the Save event and check that there is an attachment for journals. It will have an impact on performance though as this will run every time a user saves any data anywhere in the application. You will have to look at how to drop out of the BR as soon as possible if it's not a journal being saved.
