@JesperSchulz

I have resolved build errors in CZ, DK and NL environments. Turns out there is a unique G/L account for the cash account in CZ, DK and NL which caused FA journal lines to be out of balance. I had to retrieve the corresponding account in these localised apps.

I also made adjustments to resolve ID conflicts with new objects after merging latest changes from main.

The screenshot below is from BC container platform: CZ 28.0.44120.0

JesperSchulz · 2026-01-08T14:24:18Z

@JesperSchulz Thanks, it should be fixed now. I corrected the namespace usage.

Hello @tuan-nguyen-fenwick

Do you have enough information in the previous message to fix the build error?
Let me know if I can help.

tuan-nguyen-fenwick · 2026-01-22T04:06:23Z

@JesperSchulz @attilatoury I've resolved the FA journal posting error in DK.

BC docker version: DK Business Central 28.0 (Platform 28.0.44791.0 + Application 28.0.44914.0)

JesperSchulz · 2026-01-28T10:13:59Z

Giving this another go!

attilatoury · 2026-01-29T08:08:46Z

@tuan-nguyen-fenwick The build succeeded but I am adding a few comments from our internal code review

attilatoury · 2026-01-29T08:10:52Z

.../ContosoCoffeeDemoDataset/app/DemoData/FixedAsset/1.Setup Data/CreateFAGLAccount.Codeunit.al

+    var
+        CreateGLAccount: Codeunit "Create G/L Account";
+    begin
+        OnBeforeGetCashAccountForFixedAssetAcquisition(GLAccountNo);


Those individual events will soon make the codebase difficult to maintain, to see how we localize GL accounts, see the coding patterns in this file (under the section GL Account):
https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/main/Apps/W1/ContosoCoffeeDemoDataset/app/Coding-Patterns.md

Thank you, I've restructured and changed to using more generic event OnBeforeInsertEvent for CZ, NL and DK instead of relying on a custom event.

attilatoury · 2026-01-29T08:11:47Z

...ContosoCoffeeDemoDataset/app/DemoData/FixedAsset/3.Transactions/CreateFAJnlLines.Codeunit.al

+        Codeunit.Run(Codeunit::"Post FA Jnl. Lines");
+    end;
+
+    procedure InsertFAGenJournalLine(JournalTemplateName: Code[10]; JournalBatchName: Code[10]; LineNo: Integer; AccountNo: Code[20]; PostingDate: Date; FAPostingType: Enum "Gen. Journal Line FA Posting Type"; DocumentNo: Code[20]; Description: Text[100]; BalAccountType: Enum "Gen. Journal Account Type"; BalAccountNo: Code[20]; Amount: Decimal)


This type of function should be in the helper codeunit

I've moved it to Contoso Fixed Assets helper codeunit

attilatoury · 2026-01-29T08:14:19Z

...ContosoCoffeeDemoDataset/app/DemoData/FixedAsset/3.Transactions/CreateFAJnlLines.Codeunit.al

+        InsertFAGenJournalLine(FAJournalTemplateName, FAJournalBatchName, 60000, CreateFixedAsset.FA000070(), ContosoUtilities.AdjustDate(19010101D), Enum::"Gen. Journal Line FA Posting Type"::"Acquisition Cost", AssetAcquisitionLbl, AcquisitionLbl, Enum::"Gen. Journal Account Type"::"G/L Account", BalanceAccountNo, 1500);
+        InsertFAGenJournalLine(FAJournalTemplateName, FAJournalBatchName, 70000, CreateFixedAsset.FA000080(), ContosoUtilities.AdjustDate(19010101D), Enum::"Gen. Journal Line FA Posting Type"::"Acquisition Cost", AssetAcquisitionLbl, AcquisitionLbl, Enum::"Gen. Journal Account Type"::"G/L Account", BalanceAccountNo, 11000);
+        InsertFAGenJournalLine(FAJournalTemplateName, FAJournalBatchName, 80000, CreateFixedAsset.FA000090(), ContosoUtilities.AdjustDate(19010101D), Enum::"Gen.

+        Codeunit.Run(Codeunit::"Post FA Jnl. Lines");


The posting of documents is usually done in a codeunit under the folder 4.Historical

See https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/main/Apps/W1/ContosoCoffeeDemoDataset/app/README.md#2-demo-data-layers

@attilatoury I have moved these under Historical folder.

+
+    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Gen. Journal Line", OnBeforeInsertEvent, '', false, false)]
+    local procedure OnBeforeInsertGenJournalLineDK(var Rec: Record "Gen. Journal Line")


This subscribes to an event from a BaseApp table and will be executed too many times without being used.
Also, we really want to limit the use of events in these demo data app in general.

If the goal is to use the value from the DK GL account instead of the one from W1, this is what the localization of GL Account is already guaranteeing us: https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/main/Apps/DK/ContosoCoffeeDemoDatasetDK/app/DemoData/Finance/1.Setup%20Data/CreateGLAccDK.Codeunit.al

That means that all the inserts done in W1 using W1's GL accounts will actually be using DK's GL accounts (if they have been overwritten in the codeunit linked above).

For specific scenarios where the W1 GL account cannot be localized (e.g. the account only exists in the localization), then one option is to find the data that was inserted in W1, and either delete it and insert it with the localization's values, or modify it.

Hopefully the Contoso Coffee Demo Dataset apps (W1 and all the localizations) provide extensive examples on how to do it.

Note that this also applies to other localized files where this pattern is used.
