## Properties

| Property | Value |

## Events published

- `OnBeforeGetFileName(var GenJournalLine: Record "Gen. Journal Line"; var TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob"; DataExchDefCode: Code[20]; var FileName: Text)` (integration): Allows customization of file selection process for payroll imports.

## Procedures

- `SelectAndImportPayrollDataToGL(var GenJournalLine: Record "Gen. Journal Line"; DataExchDefCode: Code[20])`: Prompts user to select a payroll file and imports it to General Journal lines.

Plus 5 local procedures.

## Triggers

OnRun

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 1201 "Process Data Exch."](../codeunit/1201.md) (1 call: `MapDataToGenJournalLine → ProcessAllLinesColumnMapping`)
- [Codeunit 4100 "Temp Blob"](../codeunit/4100.md) (1 call: `CreateDataExch → CreateInStream`)
- [Codeunit 419 "File Management"](../codeunit/419.md) (1 call: `GetFileName → BLOBImportWithFilter`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: none

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). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. 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: "Import Payroll Transaction")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
