Can anyone help me create a trigger on the attachment for Orders?

We want to be able to validate Orders (Purchase Orders) created by our users by attaching the PO form in the Order record. However, we can configure a rule or build process to require attachment on Orders. We really need your help. I've read online and most said we can do this using APEX Triggers. I am unsure how to write triggers in Salesforce. Please help.

Hi Tala, 

Salesforce deos not support attachment as a lookup field. So as per your requirement, we can not do this via trigger.

Your solution could be by creating a custom VF page for creating Purchase order, from where user will first enter purchase order information and then user will add attachments as many as want and then will save purchase order by clicking save button. On that page you can validate that user must add at least one attachment in order to save an order. 


Anyway If you have any custom object as an order attachment then you can write trigger as below.

I assume purchase order object api name is Purchase_Order__c and there is a field on PO for attachment which api name is PO_attachment__c.
 
Setup > Create > Object


then click on purchase order object name, on the trigger related list, click on create trigger button and write trigger as below.
 
trigger POTrigger on Purchase_Order__c(before insert){
    for(Purchase_Order__c po : trigger.new){
if(po.PO_attachment__c == null){
PO_attachment__c.addError('You must select PO attachment. ');
}
}
}

Let me know If you have any confusion.

Best,
