Avoid Extension data Copying on Copy Company

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mohsin Abbas 525

Hi

When I create copy of a company, it copies my extension's data to the new company. Can this be controlled/avoided? 

Thanks in advance.

    The copy of a company copies all data, so also the extension's one. There's no way to avoid this.

    Is there any way to modify this functionality in AL? I just want to clear some tables of my extension.

    Why not create a codeunit and clear the data you need in the company you need?

    Yeah that's a possible option but can we extend the 'Comapnies' page and call that codeunit on 'Copy Company' action?

    I don't have now a D365BC sandbox to check if report 357 (Copy Company) has events exposed to subscribe.

    If yes, you can subscribe to the event fired after the copy and then start your custom code for deleting data.

    Otherwise, you can create your custom Copy Company function and disable the standard one. The standard Copy Company report is just a simple report that asks for a new company name and does the following:

    COPYCOMPANY(Name,NewCompanyName);

    After that code, you can start your record deletion.
