You want to create an action associated with a business object which will immediately execute a set of business rules and provide feedback on the outcome.

Business rules can be executed using the workflow and the results are displayed on a workflow task. The change notice workflow, for example, executes the Changeable Pre-Release rule set for the Audit Change Notice task and again prior to releasing the resulting objects on the change notice. Users working on or reviewing Change Tasks may want to get feedback before the Change Notice Audit task runs, to verify that there are no conflicts before completing the task.

This best practice provides steps to define a new action on the Change Notice details page to execute a set of business rules and display the results. In order to configure business rules see Customizing Business Rules.
