Your trigger has probably not compiled propperly and is therefore invalid. You can verify this with:

SELECT object_name, status FROM user_objects   WHERE object_name = 'BEF_ROW_UPDT_TS' AND object_type = 'TRIGGER';

If the status is reported as being 'INVALID' then you must check your trigger source code (perhaps some of the table columns are misspelled?). If you compile your trigger from within SQL*Plus, then after compilation execute the following to show errors:

SHOW ERRORS TRIGGER bef_row_updt_ts
