Table Structure in Business Central: When creating entities such as "non-conformity" entities in Business Central, you use document tables to represent entities that have a header and line structure. In this case, the non-conformity entity has:

A header with common information (Non-conformity Number, Date, Vendor No., etc.).

One or more lines representing the detailed information for each non-conforming item.

Document Table Usage:

Document Table: A document table is the correct table type for scenarios where you have a header (with general information like vendor details) and lines (with detailed, item-specific information).

Document tables are typically used for entities such as Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, or any other transactional data where you have both header and line information.

Supplemental Table (Option C):

Supplemental tables are usually used to add supplementary information to existing data in Business Central. In this case, we need to store detailed line information, which is a core part of the entity rather than supplementary data, so a supplemental table would not be appropriate here.

Document History Table (Option A):

Document history tables are used to track changes and historical data for entities but are not suitable for the main introduction of the entity and its lines. This option is also not appropriate.

field(3; "Receipt No."; Code[20])

{

DataClassification = CustomerContent;

TableRelation = "Purch. Rcpt. Header"."No." where ("Buy-from Vendor No." = field("Vendor No."));

}

Field Declaration:

The field(3; "Receipt No."; Code[20]) part defines the field in the table with ID 3 and type Code with a length of 20. This field will hold the receipt number.

DataClassification:

CustomerContent is selected for the DataClassification property, which categorizes the data for privacy and compliance management. This aligns with Business Central's recommendations for handling sensitive data in customer-related tables.

TableRelation Property:

The TableRelation property links the "Receipt No." field to another table, which in this case is the "Purch. Rcpt. Header" table. This ensures that only valid receipt numbers from the Purchase Receipt Header table can be selected or entered in this field.

Relation Filter:

The filter condition is applied using the where clause. It ensures that the Receipt No. is only from the Purchase Receipt Header records where the "Buy-from Vendor No." matches the "Vendor No." of the current record.

The condition field("Vendor No.") is selected from the drop-down as shown in the image. This links the vendor information in the non-conformity table to the receipt in the Purchase Receipt Header table.

By linking the "Vendor No." fields, you ensure that only receipt numbers from the correct vendor are available, which improves data consistency and reduces errors during data entry.

References to AL Language:

The TableRelation property is frequently used to create references between tables in Business Central. In this case, the correct relationship between the "Purch. Rcpt. Header" and the Non-conformity table is established using the TableRelation and filter.
