Hi guys,

step 1 : As usually used in number sequence procedure.

<new EDT>

1. number sequence class in Existing module and Table new method.

2. load all module in D365Fo

3. Number sequence generated then Form method and DS create, delete, update finished it.

step 2:

1. number sequence class in Existing module.

2. Number sequence generated

3. Table initValue i wrote a small code

Ex: this.RequestNumber = numberSeq::NewnumGet(numberseqreference::FindReference(extendedTypeNum(EDT, true)).Num();

Now, my question i followed in second step2 i don't write any form level method but it is working fine but it does it have any impact elsewhere?

also which one is better to use step 1 or step 2?

i tried in much less effort for the number sequence.

Regards,

WayToAx

Yes, initValue() aren't called automatically from any places except of forms. It can be called manually from code, but it doesn't have to.

That NumberSeqFormHandler exists and the documentation tells you to use it is not a coincidence, therefore that's the preferred way. You can see that it does things at places which your second techniques ignore, such as on delete. For example, you can create a record (which assigns a number) and then delete it before writing it to the database, therefore the number wasn't effectively used and the number sequence framework it notified about it.
