Dear team,

I explored the things and what I understood about table events

In an AX 2012 insert method override, any code written before the super() call is executed on-inserting while any code written after the super() call is executed on-inserted.

So, here in D365FO, MS introduced many events in Table level. So, On-Inserting and On-Inserted is one of them.

My understanding --

For example -- if I used On-Inserting in table events, it actually called the table insert method and before super it executed the On -inserting code and after super it will executed On-Inserted code. The super activity id happening internally.

Am I correct?

Table -- Events -- OnInserting, OnInserted

Hi,

Your understanding is mostly on point, but there’s a subtle distinction worth clarifying.

In Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, the OnInserting and OnInserted table events are indeed designed to mirror the behavior of pre- and post-super() logic in AX 2012's insert() method override. However, these events are not tied to the super() call in the same way as in AX 2012. Instead, they are triggered by the framework itself during the insert operation:

OnInserting is raised before the actual insert operation takes place.
OnInserted is raised after the insert has been completed.
So while it’s conceptually similar to the AX 2012 pattern, the execution of these events is handled by the framework and not directly influenced by a developer’s placement of super() in custom code. The super() call is internal and not exposed in the same way.

For further reference, you might find the official documentation on Table Event Handlers in D365FO helpful.

Please verify if this explanation aligns with your expectations and let me know if it was useful.

Thanks and best regards,

Daniele
