Before you can work with the app, you must ensure that the Activate Application Area field has been activated in the Data Migration Tool Setup.
With this setup, all of the functions listed below are actually activated in Business Central.
Automatically create item tracking lines in item journal
This function is intended to facilitate the data transfer of stock levels with and without item tracking. The Item Journal is extended to include the Serial No. Data Migration and Lot No. Data Migration extended. In addition, the new function Prepare Item Journal is available. When calling the action, existing reservation entries for the lines of the journal are first deleted. It then creates reservation entries for item tracking based on the field values. In addition, the "Phys. Inventory" field is set so that Phys. Inventory Ledger Entries are created on posting.
Deleting table data with and without table triggers
The Configuration Worksheet is extended with the following new actions:
Select All
Deselect all
Delete selected tables
By executing the actions select all and deselect all tables can be marked for deletion. The marking can also be done manually by selecting the field Select table for deletion. The contents of the tables can then be deleted by calling the Delete selected tables function. Before deleting, it is selected whether the table triggers are to be executed.
Copy configuration worksheets between databases and companies
The content of configuration worksheets can be migrated between companies and databases via the new functions Import configuration and Export configuration. In the background, the contents of the associated tables are copied to individual tables and a configuration package is created from these tables. After the configuration package has been imported into the target client, the settings can be loaded using the Import configuration action.
Disable validation of primary key fields in configuration packages
Validation of primary key fields in configuration packages can be disabled by enabling the setup. This allows, for example, routing lines to be imported while the routing header is certified.
Deleting Companies in Batch with the "Company Administration" Page
The Company Administration page allows you to manage and delete multiple companies in your Business Central environment in a single batch process.
This functionality is particularly useful in development or test environments, where temporary or duplicate companies are often created during extension testing or data migration.
On this page, you can select one or more companies and delete them simultaneously. The deletion process removes the selected companies entirely from the database, including all related application data. As a result, the overall database size is reduced, system performance is improved, and publishing or synchronizing extensions becomes significantly faster.
