Codeunit::"CRM Setup Defaults" fields doesn't exist in current context

Posted on by Gelatina 35

Hi,

I'm having a hard time following the 'Customizing an Integration with Microsoft Dataverse' guide on the Docs website and I'm currently on the step where you gotta use the Codeunit CRM Setup Defaults (ID 5334) to subscribe on the OnAddEntityTableMapping event in order to enable deep linking between coupled Business Central records and Microsoft Dataverse records.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"CRM Setup Defaults", 'OnAddEntityTableMapping', '', true, true)]
    local procedure HandleOnAddEntityTableMapping(var TempNameValueBuffer: Record "Name/Value Buffer" temporary)
    var
        CRMSetupDefaults: Codeunit "CRM Setup Defaults";
    begin
        CRMSetupDefaults.AddEntityTableMapping('Order Type', DATABASE::"LGX SNV Order Type", TempNameValueBuffer);
        CRMSetupDefaults.AddEntityTableMapping('Order Type', DATABASE::"CRM new_ordertype", TempNameValueBuffer);
    end;

But when I try to use the procedure for adding the entity, it gets highlited in red stating that the codeunit does not contains a definition for the procedure I'm trying to use.

'Codeunit "CRM Setup Defaults"' does not contain a definition for 'AddEntityTableMapping'AL(AL0132)

Quick Fix... (Ctrl+.)

Is there any way to fix this? I just checked the codeunit and the procedure is there. I'm wondering if it could be something permission-related.

I would really appreciate any help with this. Thanks

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    dynamicsuser.net/.../developerss

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.

    I don't see that function in the codeunit either, which version of BC are using ? OnPrem or Saas?

    I'm using Saas, but I am actually able to see the procedure in the codeunit, nonetheless it is being marked as if the codeunit doesn't exist in the current context.

    Doesn't matter if I import it on an event subscriber, on a variable on a page, however I try to use it is being marked regardless of it's existance.

    I checked with current version and I could not see that function. Maybe the symbols you have are old and referencing the new version.

    Hi there,

    I has this problem as well (I'm on the latest BC v18.3).

    Add this code to your codeunit:
        local procedure AddEntityTableMapping(CRMEntityTypeName: Text; TableID: Integer; var TempNameValueBuffer: Record "Name/Value Buffer" temporary)

        //Replicates the same local procedure in Codeunit "CRM Setup Defaults"
        begin
            //OnBeforeAddEntityTableMapping(CRMEntityTypeName, TableID, TempNameValueBuffer); //Note, if you subscribe to this you'll need to cater for this as well.
            TempNameValueBuffer.Init();
            TempNameValueBuffer.ID := TempNameValueBuffer.Count + 1;
            TempNameValueBuffer.Name := CopyStr(CRMEntityTypeName, 1, MaxStrLen(TempNameValueBuffer.Name));
            TempNameValueBuffer.Value := Format(TableID);
            TempNameValueBuffer.Insert();
        end;
    and replace:
     CRMSetupDefaults.AddEntityTableMapping('Order Type', DATABASE::"LGX SNV Order Type", TempNameValueBuffer);
    CRMSetupDefaults.AddEntityTableMapping('Order Type', DATABASE::"CRM new_ordertype", TempNameValueBuffer);
    with:
     AddEntityTableMapping('Order Type', DATABASE::"LGX SNV Order Type", TempNameValueBuffer);
    AddEntityTableMapping('Order Type', DATABASE::"CRM new_ordertype", TempNameValueBuffer);
