Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 - How to Use Trigger Events - Part 2

Hi All,

Let's start it from where we left in Last Post.

Recap - "We Created A Custom Table & Page, Linked that to Standard Item Page. Then we Created a Custom Codeunit, Created a Function in Codeunit which Subscribe the OnBeforeDelete Event of Item Table and Called Custom Code in the Subscriber Function."

If you are missing the Story, Refer Table of Index.

In this article we will try to bring the Value of Last Revision for Item When Item Get Selected in Sales Line Using Trigger Event Subscription.

JUST TO CLARIFY - "Some people are getting confused on the new approach of customization using Events. They Feel that everything will be 100% out of standard Code. It's not True. Field Addition and Event Definition are still need to be done on Base Objects."

So let's Continue. Create a Field "Latest Revision No." in Sales Line Table and in Sales Order Subform Page.



Now We Need to Fill Revision No., Whenever there is a New Sales Line of Type Item is Added or Modified. Let's see how we used to do this till date.



Let's See how we Should We Do it Now - 

1. Create a New Function (CustomerAfterItemValidate) in Custom Codeunit 60000 Say MyCustomer Event Subscribers.
 > Navigate to Properties of Function and set as below -
   > Event - Subscriber
   > EventPublisherObject - Table 37
   > EventFunction - OnAfterValidateEvent (Say Yes to Confirmation Window).
   > EventPublisherElement - No.



2. Let's Add Same Code but as its a Different Object we need to Add some more conditions on the Event Subscriber as shown Below -



3. So That's it, we can test the Process with a Simple Example as shown below the Demo Steps -

Select a Item in Sales Order having Revisions Filled In Like 1000 & Latest Revision No. Should be Filled in Automatically as shown Below.


So With This Demo I hope we understand How to Use Trigger Based Events.

I Know a Common Question that most of you will have is  "Hey Saurav, What about the Code that I Write in the Mid of The Say OnValidate Trigger of the Field in any table. I am sure we cannot right it on Before or After. How we handle those?"

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions. After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.
