Switch Companies in AL And Append to a Table

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ArshiaSistan 4
I am trying to create a table in my AL code and BC which displays the entire inventory of one of my companies, it shows various records regarding each inventory item. However, I have multiple companies and want to display the inventory of all the companies.
 
In the code I am able to switch companies and able to display what company I am on, but I am unsure on how to append new items to the existing table which belongs to the other companies. So far, the inventory only displays all the products from Company 1, however I need to append all the items in Company 2's inventory and show it all in one table.

    ApplicationArea = All;
    Caption = 'Remaining Item Quantity';
    PageType = List;

    DataCaptionFields = /Entry No./;
    UsageCategory = History;

    InsertAllowed = false;

                field(/Entity/; CompanyName)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    ToolTip = 'Specifies the Company/Entity in which the item belongs to.';

                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;

        if Company.Get() then
            Message('Current Company /%1/', Company.Name);
        Company.ChangeCompany('Company 2');
        //Add extra records.....
        //Switch Again
        Rec.ChangeCompany('Company 1');
        if Company.Get() then
            Message('Switched To/%1/', Company.Name);
