I have an app called "Chemical Equipment" and two custom objects customer and invoices. I want to write a trigger on customer object, when ever the customer status in the customer object is active a invoice should be generated. Here is the code:

public class Cus_Inv_Exmp1 {
    public static void callMe(List<APEX_Customer__c> customers )
    {  
        List<APEX_Invoice__c> InvoiceList=new List<APEX_Invoice__c>();
        for(APEX_Customer__c objCust:customers)
        {   
            if(objCust.APEX_Customer_Status__c=='Active')
            {
                APEX_Invoice__c objInvoice=new APEX_Invoice__c();
                objInvoice.APEX_Status__c='Active';
                objInvoice.APEX_Description__c='Recored created through trigger';
                objInvoice.APEX_Customer__c=objCust.id;
                InvoiceList.add(objInvoice);
                
            }
            
        }
      Insert  InvoiceList;//DML
    }
}


Callout for Trigger :

trigger Cus_Inv_Exmp1 on APEX_Customer__c (after update)
{

     Cus_Inv_Exmp1.callMe(Trigger.new);   
}

The error is in this line  
objInvoice.APEX_Status__c='Active';

Please check do you have the picklist value added on this field APEX_Status__c

My Question is I am not able to execute the code. Could you please check where I am going wrong folks!!!!!! Thanks

can you confirm that the status of the customer record is getting updated to "Active"? You can add the debug statement also.

Hey! I am not even able to Update to active also, it directly throws an error.

Go to your Invoice object and check on this field APEX_Status__c do you have the picklist value 'Active'. Please check the spelling too.
kavya mareedukavya mareedu
You are correct, I don't have that picklist value. I changed it and it worked. How did you figured it out??? From the error message?? If you have figured from error message then how should I do that?? Please guide me!!!!! Thanks a lot :)

Cool!
If you see in the error message it clearly says that the bad value for the picklist, which means either the picklist value is missing or a spelling mistake. 
Happy to help!
