Global setups

Hello,

There are several setup gets in the posting routines (sales, purchase or journal ect.) I want to get (using GET function) a setup (Sales & Receivables, General Ledger Setup ect.) table once, put it in a global cache (single instance codeunit) and access this cache whenever that setup is required.

Does anybody have such a working experience?

    IMHO not worth the effort. The data is already in the cache after the first GET and isn't that big after all. But if you really need it for some reason, here is something to read.

    @AK, thanks for your reply.

    We have several subscriber methods listening posting routines. We had to check entry values (and sometime modify) with some setup values in those subscribers so we have to get the same setup table (defined locally) everytime the subscriber method is hit. Will it make any difference to define the local setup tables as global ones?

    I'm no expert on how the cache works exactly, but I would assume that it makes no difference if a record is used as a local or as a global variable, otherwise a cache would be rather pointless.
    What problem are you trying to solve exactly?
