Add table to a default description in D365 FO

 

Purpose:

The purpose of this post is to demonstrate how can we extend default descriptions by adding a new table to the default description definition.

Application:

Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations

Prerequisites:

• Understanding of how default descriptions work

Business requirement:

Use customer free text invoice line description field in the definition of Customer – tax invoice, customer default description.

Out of the box only two tables are available to select, CustInvoiceTable and CustInvoiceJour. The requirement is to add CustInvoiceLine.

Solution:

It can be achieved by developing an extension class of TransactionTextContextCust class.
