An object of the [DE localization](../../localizations/de.md), not part of W1.

## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Access | Public |

## Events published

- `OnSetEDocumentService(NewEDocumentService: Record "E-Document Service")` (internal)
- `OnHasContext(var Result: Boolean)` (internal)
- `OnGetEDocumentService(var EDocumentService: Record "E-Document Service")` (internal)

## Event subscriptions

- SubOnSetEDocumentService subscribes to Codeunit "ZUGFeRD Export Context" OnSetEDocumentService
- SubOnHasContext subscribes to Codeunit "ZUGFeRD Export Context" OnHasContext
- SubOnGetEDocumentService subscribes to Codeunit "ZUGFeRD Export Context" OnGetEDocumentService

## Procedures

- `Start()`: Binds this instance as the active ZUGFeRD export context for the current call stack and resets any captured service. Pair with .
- `Stop()`: Unbinds this instance from the current session's subscriber chain and clears the captured service so later operations in the same session do not see a stale value.
- `SetEDocumentService(NewEDocumentService: Record "E-Document Service")`: Publishes the triggering E-Document Service to the active bound context instance. Only meaningful between and ; when no instance is bound the publish has no observable effect.
- `HasContext(): Boolean`: Returns whether an instance is bound on the active session and call stack AND a non-blank E-Document Service was pushed into it. Report extensions gate their service read on this, so a plain print, a context that was started but never set, and a blank push all leave the legacy FindLast lookup in "Ex...
- `GetEDocumentService(var EDocumentService: Record "E-Document Service")`: Returns the E-Document Service pushed by the format via on the active bound instance, or a blank record when no context is bound.

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "ZUGFeRD Export Context")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.

A DE country object, not part of W1: the default corpus does not have it; `bcatlas_list_countries` shows which countries the atlas has.
