    Hi Vimal, can you use a custom table or a hang-off table to store the necessary fields and use a unique index on that table? In the case of a custom table for example - before creating the customer order, attempt to add an entry to the custom table with the ship to customer and customer PO number.

    Hi,

    We tried putting unique DB index on the two fields in yfs_order_header but index creation failed. We found this documentation which says unique index creation is not allowed on standard tables. Please suggest options.

    Hi Vimal,

    Thank you for submitting your idea. For the requirement of checking for duplicate orders, we would suggest using a unique DB index - in your case you could add one on ship to customer and customer PO number, which would prevent duplicates from being created.

    If you need to be able to override this, you could include another field in the index that the user can modify on the order to to allow it to pass the unique constraint.

    I hope this suggestion helps you find a workable solution to meet your requirement.
