The recording of my last webcast for Areopa Academy is available on their YouTube channel . Again, sorry for the initial GotoMeeting problem and sorry for my error during the first demo (function deployed on the wrong subscription) In-depth explanations for some topics will follow soon.

I have a potential client who wants to see how BC handles Part Cores* in their system. The company manufactures and distributes diesel parts and it is common in the industry for a Core to be returned for cash. Therefore they have Cores in AR and Cores in AP. These are separate accounts that decrease the total value of the parent receivable and payable accounts. Are there options native to BC to take care of this, is there a good third party application that can handle this, or both for me to look into? I am working in their current system and it doesn't handle cores very well. If they choose to go with BC I would like it to be an upgrade to their current system, but I haven't been able to find anywhere that discusses functionality with Cores. Does anyone know what the best practices or different options for taking care of this in BC, or Nav are? *Example of how cores work. If you need to by a new part for your car you can go to Napa and by the part on your receipt/invoice you will see a line for a core refund. This core is a refund you can get if you bring back the old part. This is done for parts that are considered recyclable, or rebuild-able for future sale. If you have further questions about what this is and how it works I got great results explaining it by googling "types of parts that you can get a core refund"

Wow! Today I really had the Wow experience with Business Central. And I really mean Wow, not WoW. But first things first. We are going live with one our hosted customer, running on subscription license, but OnPrem installation hosted in Azure (no Czech online BC available yet, wrong timing). Because some changes were developed as PerTenantApp (PTA), I wanted to extend the license with the custom object range as usual. But there were no tables or pages sold to the subscription license, thus only the "build in" IDs possible to use - 50000..50009 and 50000..50099. But because we decided to assign ID ranges to the PTA centrally across all customers to prevent possible conflicts in future, the used ID Range was different. Preparing the release, I hit the limitation that you cannot reassign the "default" objects included in the license (in world of Apps, this is really outdated limitation going against the apps, but this is another story). Result of this was decision that the PTA must be moved to the ID range 50000..50099. Ok, no problem to do that in AL. Change the ID Range in app.json, go through the objects, remove ID, let VSCode suggest new one. Fix some small things like LookupPageID and DrilldownPageID and I am done. Because the app was installed only on our QA database, I expected that I will force the synchronization after the CI/CD pipeline will fail. Commit, push, wait. No error from the pipeline is comming... Ok, what is wrong... Checking the pipeline... Successfull? There must be something wrong... Opening the QA database... Opening page from the App... Table have data... Ok, it will be the old App installed still... Ctrl+Alt+F1 Table 50000, Page 50000... WOW!!!!! REALLY SURPRISED! Yes, it is true. The IDs of the objects means in AL nearly nothing. If it is possible, AL is working with the names, not IDs. It means you can renumber the objects and it have no impact to the schema. No breaking change! Of course, you can have some side effects when you are using somewhere the IDs in data or in wrongly designed dirty code. But publishing and installing and upgrading have no problems with that! If future proves me wrong, no problem. But if this is really true (have not tested it through all possible things), than it is hidden gem. Welcome in the world of AL! Great! Guys, really, time to get rid of the IDs from your al file names ;-)

Just do small clarification about " it is common in the industry for a Core to be returned for cash. " - how they handle this Core? I think the "sell core" is 1 item and "refund core" is another, right? And to receive "sell core" for "refund core" we need to do "some transformation" => it is very easy - we have 2 items which we must to handle =>we have standard Inventory setup and, possible, production procedure (or written BOM|item "reclassification procedure" - it depends on what Customer do physically for this process).

Hi guys, Is there any way such that we can align the contents inside a field(Numeric) to its left.

We have restored NAV 2015 SQL database in google cloud. I created another instance and setup the server server address into the Database Server but can't connect even if it is already running. Is there a guide where we can access NAV database to the google cloud? Thank you in advance

Open the report designer > Select the field > Under alignment > TextAlign -> Left

Sorry, Such guide does not exist.

Hi All, I was looking to add an extra field to the Aged Accounts Receivables report for Business Central, exported the excel but my design in excel says this is only a read only report. Is there a way to add an extra field in this report? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, H

We have custom fields that get a 50000 range number and appear in the middle of the Object Designer. However, in the SQL tables for all companies that were created before the custom field, the field is appended at the bottom, thus making Unions between before and after companies difficult. Has anyone encountered this and have a recommended solution?

ScottSchuler , could you imagine how this "solution" should look like? what do you want to change, the base hardcoded sorting rule for SQL or NAV?

I suppose either or. The solution going forward would be that all new companies created would match the older companies in SQL. Whether that's changing the existing companies in SQL or changing the sort in Object Designer. I suspect changing the SQL would be the fastest but I'm not sure about rights.

Do you have a possibility do change somehow sorting in SQL (I think it is in SSMS)?

I tried in a test copy to do it by going to design and reordering the column name. The error I get is: "Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can't be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created." Admittedly I'm not a SQL guru and typically would steer clear of any hard changes to the tables.

Hello, To prevent customer table locks from recurring each time an integration reads OData from Business Central, I created an API Query Extension in AL. Everything resolves in VSCode without a problem; however, I get the following exception when I attempt to upload my extension to the sandbox: The supplied field number "55217" cannot be found in the Customer Table. I opened a customer record and verified that field 55217 exists within the table and page extension: Field 55217 on the Customer Table is a Text[50] flow field that correlates to a Text[50] field on the Salespeople/Purchasers extended table/page. I attempted to enlist the aid of Microsoft Support to identify why, despite resolving without a problem in VSCode, the Extension installation keeps failing. The moment they saw that this related to an extension, I was told they would not render support and to post this on the support (Case 119103124004346). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. In addition to understanding why this query fails to recognize field 55217, I am also curious about why API Queries are used over Normal Queries for the sake of integrations.

Not quite sure why it makes union queries more difficult? Just copy the query that's already in your union query then change the table name, it doesn't matter what order the fields are in then. It's arguably quicker anyway? I presume it's just sorted by the SQL field id in Sys.fields. when NAV adds the field in a new company it works through the fields in NAV field ID order and adds them so they appear in the "correct" order. Adding it to an existing table it has no choice but to stick it at the end. Just a guess though, would be interesting to know for sure! Not recommended but if your don't want to change it the "you are not permitted to save changes" error you're getting is just an SSMS option, just go "tools > options > query designer > allow schema changes that require drop and create" (or something along those lines). If its a large table though it may take a while to apply.

Dears, I am able to work with the Record Deletion Tool in Business Central created by OlisterR it works prefect on the sand box but in the production giving a permission error like that, I used a super user. You do not have the following permissions on TableData 21: Delete. To view details about your permissions, see the Effective Permissions page. To report a problem, refer to the following server session ID: '5476'. please help.

Dears, I am using Business central cloud W1 version and I setup the Data Exchange Definition & General ledger setup. but the action Import payroll file does not appear in the General journal. Is it related to version or what? Thanks for help.

That is because in Production the licensfile that executes the code - is not a partner-license-file hence no. write permission to tables with the name "* Entry"

The issue has been identified! The field, SWC-SV SP SF Owner ID , resolved correctly in BC, but it is a flow field; so, it doesn't get stored anywhere in SQL. Instead of pointing to a flow field, the following allows me to link the corresponding Salesforce Owner ID: dataitem(Salesperson_Purchaser; "Salesperson/Purchaser") { DataItemLink = Code = Customer."Salesperson Code"; column(salesforceOwnerID; "SWC-SV SalesForce Owner ID") { } } A word of caution-- beware the Normal Query validation. During my initial troubleshooting, I found that the Normal Query resolved without a problem, but the API query crashed whenever I tried to install the extension. That was only half true. VSCode and Extension installation succeeded, but the corresponding Query would crash BC every time I tried to search for it under Web Services. Worse yet, the Customer page would crash due to the mismatched reference to the flow field. I couldn't even get into tenant telemetry until the extension was uninstalled. Microsoft should apply the same extension installation validation on the Normal Query as the API Query; so, others don't make my same mistake I would have liked to get an error in VSCode before I attempted to compile/deploy to sandbox.
