AngelaIp,

Thank you for this, that was what I was missing. If I make it back to Europe I will definitely get you a tasty beverage. 🙂

I looked for it in the SQL category, but didn't see it.

AngelIp,

Thank you for the reply. I didn't create a new method, I am trying to add to the existing methods. In the PE_ChangeItemTransition method, I copied anything that referenced Simple ECO and changed it to my ItemType (sm_DEMO_NDR) and the same for Simple ECO Affected Item (sm_DEMO_NDR_Affected_Item). The LifeCycle for sm_DEMO_NDR is the same as the Simple ECO. Not sure what I am missing with this. Thanks again for the help.

Hi Nathan,

Try to inforce a "newError" error message to see if your Method reacts at all. I assume your customized Methods is not called.

In the standard Aras CM processes, the Method "PE_update_has_change_pending" is also called inside (!) other Methods. E.g. by "PE_OnChangeItemReleased". Take a look at the existing Lifecycles of Simple ECO or similar. You will notice that there are a lot of Methods called by LifeCycle transitions. Some of them are used to set the change pending flags, release date and other stuff.

Not sure if you even have to modify transition handlers, but for change pending the lifecycle transistion Methods should already do the trick.
