cancel workflow when quantity payment block is cleared outsid e the workflow

[Torsten Schnorpfeil]

I checked the event trace and there was never a event raised when I cleared
the quantity block.
I there anything missing in my configuration?
Do I have to link the event w/ a workflow before it gets raised?
 
However, thanks for your reply!
 
Regards,
Torsten
