When building BOD extentions, we find that even the standard (item) BOD is not always triggered when a field in the item master (tcibd001) changes. Thus we will have to cause the BOD to be triggered in a table extension.

What I do now is, I build a table extension in tcibd001 in which I implement:
Declaration section with keep.fldn fields for every field (fldn = fieldname) I want to see the changes in that will result in triggering a BOD. Then in the
Functions section I write two functions:
keep.some() to store the current values and
some.change() to compare the current values with the stored values (returns true if one of the stored fields did change)
Before Save call the keep.some function
After Save if some.change() then call.bod.triggering.function()


Is there a more user friendly way, with say a session where I can check the fields that should trigger a BOD on change?
