I get the error
FRM-40654:Record has been updated by another user. Re-query to see change
when I have someone else modified a field in a table after I have the data populated on the form. Now that we have multiple kinds of applications (other than Oracle forms, we have Web and Mobile devices) accessing data and possibly modifying something on the same record, this error is more frequent.

Please note:
- I DO NOT HAVE LOCKING ISSUE. All transactions are complete with Commit.
- I do not want to Requery. Because I do not want the changes by another user overwrite my changes. I being the one doing final "Submit Order", should have the last say on what data to be saved.

Basically all I want to do is whichever user clicks the "Submit Order" button, saves whatever is there on his form, irrespective of any changes already made by someone else to some field on the record. The person doing submit should not get this error. Forms should simply commit the changes and mark as "SUBMITTED" in the status field (which it does when no errors).

It appears that all your applications should SELECT FOR UPDATE. The way it is now, you can't guarantee that records you retrieve in a form won't / can't be changed by someone else in the meantime.

Select for Update does happen when user clicks on "Submit Order" button. There are scores of steps involved and exclusively locks the record and its children records. But we can not afford to lock the record if someone just brings up the record for viewing.

It is true that we do not have a way to stop another user from modifying the record. But since out of about 10,000 orders submitted per day, we get about 4 issues of such inconsistencies. So very rarely it happens that another user (usually in the same store) has opened up the Order to modify. Now that we know the issue, all we want to easily handle is, whoever is doing "Submit Order" has the last say. Once order is "Submitted" status, we are good in handling the further changes.

That behaviour can't be overridden by itself as far as I'm aware, it's an integral part of forms default save processing.
Only option I can think of is to base the block on a stored procedure, that way you'll have complete control.
