Extension Visibility Issue in Business Central

Posted on by NR-13080357-0

I have three companies in the business central production environment. I have been assigned to add some additional features in Company 1. I have made an extension for Company 1. The changes caused by the extension made for Company 1 must not be seen in either Company 2 or Company 3.

However, when I upload the extension file, the changes made in Company 1 show up in Company 2 and Company 3.

Can anyone help me make the extension I made visible only in Company One and not in the other two companies? I am a newbie, so please guide me through this if possible.

(For Example, the extension I have created will create two new fields in the sales order page, which is necessary for company 1 but not needed for company 2 and company 3, so I don't want the two fields created using the extension for company 1 to show up in company 2 and company 3)

Hi

What our colleagues have said about the impact on all companies is correct. Why Extension Installation Applies to All Companies in the Same Database in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
You could also use the following link to set some business rules for one company or another.

Please try using the code provided below. Remember to change the company name based on the name in your production account.

{

layout

{

addafter(General)

{

group("Lease")

{

ShowCaption = false;

Visible = isVisible;

field("Lease Status"; Rec."Lease Status")

{

ApplicationArea = All;

Caption = 'Lease Status';

}

field("Lease Amount"; Rec."Lease Amount")

{

ApplicationArea = All;

Caption = 'Lease Amount';

}

}

}

}

trigger OnOpenPage()

begin

if companyInformation.Get() then

case companyinformation.Name of

'CRONUS IN': //Company 1 name

isVisible := true;

'My Company'://Company 2 name

You can add a boolean in ex: company information page and add the condition in all the code changes to execute the code only if that boolean is enabled.

Hello, You cannot set an extension for a specific company . Its per database.
We can use the DataPerCompany property in a table to specify that the data will only be visible within a specific company. However, this property applies solely to the table itself.
