Redesign "Invt. Posting Buffer" similar to "Invoice Posting Buffer"

[grygoryshchakr]

Why do you need this change?

We need to extend grouping implemented in table 48 "Invt. Posting Buffer" by adding "Business Unit Code" field.

Describe the request

Redesign "Invt. Posting Buffer" to have "Group ID" field as primary key:

    field(1; "Group ID"; Text[1000])
    {
        Caption = 'Primary Key';
        DataClassification = SystemMetadata;
    }

and BuildPrimaryKey procedure

procedure BuildPrimaryKey()
var
    GroupID: Text;
begin
    GroupID := ... ;

    OnBuildPrimaryKey(GroupID, Rec);

    "Group ID" := CopyStr(GroupID, 1, MaxStrLen("Group ID"));

    OnAfterBuildPrimaryKey(Rec);
end;

PS. Code is taken from table 55 "Invoice Posting Buffer"
Internal work item: AB#627048

Hi Roman Grygoryshchak (@grygoryshchakr),

Thanks for submitting this extensibility request. To help us process it efficiently, please update the issue to include the required information.

📚 Extensibility Guidelines

Missing Information:

• meaningful_justification: The request lacks meaningful justification. While you mention needing to extend grouping by adding 'Business Unit Code' field, the description doesn't explain WHY this grouping is needed or what business problem it solves. Please provide: (1) A specific business scenario or technical intent that requires Business Unit Code in the grouping logic, (2) The current technical limitation or problem this change addresses, (3) What functionality or capability this enables for your extension. For example, explain whether this is needed for multi-company reporting, legal compliance, financial consolidation, or another specific use case.

Please update the issue with the missing details. We'll automatically re-analyze once updated.

Hi,

We have an extension that allows multiple legal entities to operate within a single BC company, using the standard Business Units functionality.

For this to work correctly, every financial transaction (G/L Entry) must be tagged with the appropriate Business Unit. This ensures the general ledger accurately reflects activity per legal entity.

We extended the Invoice Posting Buffer with a Business Unit Code field. Amounts are now correctly aggregated by Business Unit before posting, so each resulting G/L Entry carries the right BU.

We need to apply the same logic to the Inventory Posting Buffer (Invt. Posting Buffer) - amounts must be aggregated by Business Unit before posting to ensure inventory-related G/L Entries are also correctly tagged.

Regards, Roman.
