MSDYN365BC - Customer Requirement for AL Development Blog Series.

Hi Readers,

As promised in the last article we will start building our first extension using VS Code and AL Programming Language.

This is the first article in this series where we will take the example of a customer requirement and going forward we will develop that using VS Code as our first Extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. I am considering this example as this capture all object types and also include base object changes.


Customer Requirement - 

1. Customer Requires to track Source of Sales. 
2. The Design that customer requires, a table where they can list down the Code and Description of Source of Sales. They should be able to disable any Source of Sales.
3. They should be able to key in those details in that table using a page. 
4. The user should be able to select the Source of sales in Sales documents and its a mandatory field to key in before posting a sales document.
5. Source of sales should be available in Item Ledger Entries & posted sales doc. for analysis.
6. Customer may ask for a report based on Source of Sales.
