Customization based on Company

pradeepgudipudi

Hi everyone,

Imagine a database having two companies A and B of different busines application in NAV. I just wrote some code in an object for company A and if i execute the same object for company B the code written for company A should not execute for company B. Is there any possibility in NAV..??

Regards

Sure, but it of course requires extra coding. Basically every modification you do is controlled by a check box in some setup form. When the checkbox is true for a company the code is executed, when it's false it isn't.

CASE COMPANYNAME OF
  "Cronus"://code;
  "Alfa"://code;
END;

Because that won't blow up horribly if you rename your company. ](*,) And what happens if you add a new company? Going to go change every object again?

You should never hard code things like that.

True...

Add parameter fields to the Company Information table.

DenSter, Matt,

my abstraction is so weak and i can not visualize clearly your suggestion.

is it like adding a checkbox in Company table:

AllowCustomization : [ ]

then starting every block of code lines with something like:

if companyinformation.allowcustomization then begin ...

if it's true, i'm not sure this will work.
but, i may wrong in understanding your points. Can you please describe further?

The question was to make a certain piece of functionality only available in certain companies. The easiest way to do this is to provide a way to turn the functionality on based on certain setup information. Wheter that is a checkbox or a field that can be used to enter information, that all depends on the design of the solution.

The consensus was that hard coding company names was NOT the right way.
