How to publish your own Event in Business Central using AL Code?

Hi,

Publishing your own event means in a scenario where you are not able to find standard events , you can also define your event and publish it for use.

For Example:

In Job Journal Line page you have no event in posting date field.

Lets understand this exercise :

Step 1 :

Create a new Code unit and type teventint

Type your procedure Name and Parameters inside the procedure.

codeunit 50101 JobJournalLinePublisher
{
trigger OnRun()
begin

end;

[IntegrationEvent(true, true)]
procedure OnAfterValidatePostinDateinJobJournalLine(VAR JobJournalLine: Record "Job Journal Line"; var PostDate: Date);
begin

end;

var
myInt: Integer;
}

Step 2.  Define the place where you want to call this Publisher Event.

For me I need it on Page Job Journal Line After validation of No. Field.

pageextension 50100 MyExtension extends "Job Journal"
{
layout
{
// Add changes to page layout here
modify("No.")
{
trigger OnBeforeValidate();
var
Publisher: Codeunit 50101;
begin
Publisher.OnAfterValidatePostinDateinJobJournalLine(Rec, Rec."Posting Date");
end;
}

}

actions
{
// Add changes to page actions here
}

var
myInt: Integer;
}

Screen for reference:

Step 3. Define the Procedure defination and Subscribe.

codeunit 50102 JobJournalLineSubscribers
{
EventSubscriberInstance = StaticAutomatic;

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::JobJournalLinePublisher, 'OnAfterValidatePostinDateinJobJournalLine', '', true, true)]
procedure OnAfterValidatePostinDateinJobJournalLine(VAR JobJournalLine: Record "Job Journal Line"; var PostDate: Date);
begin
JobJournalLine.VALIDATE(Description, JobJournalLine.Description + ' ' + FORMAT(PostDate));
end;
}

Screenshot for reference:

I hope with this reference you can define your own publisher event in business central.
