    It specifies whether the class will be run on the user's client or on the AOS machine. For instance, if you need your class to be executed as batch job, you must set the "run on" property to "server".

    Hi Sri,

    Lets talk about two tiers; Client and Server. Since we have Client tier (AX Client) and Server tier (AOS), so if we want to execute our method on client then we can set the method modifier to ‘client’ and if we want to execute the method on server than we can set the modifier to ‘server’.

    In case we don't set any modifier to the method, it will be run based on the ‘RunOn’ property of the class. If the RunOn property of the class is set to ‘Called From’ then method can either be executed on client or server.

    A very good explanation is given here mafsarkhan.blogspot.com.au/.../runon-property-in-axapta.html

    In continuation of my previous response, it also depends on your requirements that which property you need to set. For example; in batch jobs and importing data from excel your class must run on server.

    There are also few more limitations of each modifier which comes with your implementation of requirements.
