## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Access | Internal |

## Procedures

- `SelectBestMatchingItems(SearchQuery: Text; MessageContent: Text; CandidateArray: JsonArray; var MatchingItemFilter: Text; var AlternativeItemFilter: Text; var MatchingItemVariants: Dictionary of [Text, List of [Code[10]]]; var AlternativeItemVariants: Dictionary of [Text, List of [Code[10]]]): Boolean` (internal): Evaluates item candidates using AOAI to select matching and alternative item variants.

Plus 8 local procedures.

## 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: "SOA Item Selector")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
