AutoRun Action not firing on status change

@bvoelsch 

Here’s some items to consider while you troubleshoot based on the information you've shared:

1. Correct Definition: Ensure the action meant to print the custom report is defined as a PXAutoAction if you expect it to be auto-run. If it's defined as a PXAction, it will not support the auto-run feature directly.

2. Action Addition and Update: You must first add the action to the workflow and then update it to be an auto-run action. This involves adding the action under the appropriate state and then updating it with IsAutoAction() .

3. Graph Extension: Verify that the graph extension is correctly associated with the SOOrder entry graph that contains the workflow being modified.

4. State Identifier: Make sure you are updating the correct state. In your case, if you're looking to trigger the report when the order status changes to 'Open', you need to ensure you're targeting the correct state that represents the 'Open' status in the SO Extended Workflow.

5. Condition Logic: If your auto-run condition is set to always true (IsAutoAction(conditions.TrueCondition)), the action should run every time the state is entered. If there is a specific condition (IsAutoAction(conditions.MyCondition)), double-check that this condition is properly evaluated to true when expected.

6. No Conflicts: Check for any other workflow customizations or extensions that might be affecting the same workflow state or action.

7. Exception Handling: Ensure that the code within your custom action is robust and handles any exceptions so they don't prevent the action from completing.

8. Debugging with Trace: Use trace statements effectively to debug the issue. Make sure these statements are placed in a way that they will execute, to confirm whether the action is being triggered or not.

Here’s a nice workflow blog that discusses this scenario with some examples on Auto-Run Actions:

Hope this helps!

@bvoelsch  Possible to share the customization to investigate from our end?

Here is the export of the customization project 

@jamesh I have run through the steps you outlined.  Can you explain steps 2 and 5 more, I believe the both relate to the workflow blog that you added.  I am am still really early on in learning how to create customizations in acumatica.

@Naveen Boga Did you get a chance to look at the customization to see if where we should make updates

Hi @bvoelsch were you able to find a solution? Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your solution with the community @bvoelsch!
