Base Application · Microsoft.Finance.GeneralLedger.Ledger · BC23-30 · [source at ea08af5e](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/blob/ea08af5ef2d6a9b5c5af4a029288abbe2c883220/src/Layers/W1/BaseApp/Finance/GeneralLedger/Ledger/DateCompressGeneralLedger.Report.al) · facts from BC29

## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Caption | Date Compress General Ledger |
| Permissions | TableData "G/L Entry" = rimd, TableData "G/L Register" = rimd, TableData "G/L Transaction" = rimd, TableData "Date Compr. Register" = rimd, TableData "G/L Entry - VAT Entry Link" = rimd, TableData "Dimension Set ID Filter Line" = rimd, TableData "G/L - Item Ledger Relation" = rimd |

## Events published

- `OnBeforeInitRegisters(var GLEntry: Record "G/L Entry")` (integration): Integration event raised before initializing registers during G/L entry date compression.
- `OnGLEntryOnAfterGetRecordOnBeforeInitNewEntry(var GLEntry2: Record "G/L Entry"; var GLEntry: Record "G/L Entry")` (integration): Integration event raised during G/L entry processing before initializing a new entry.
- `OnSummarizeEntryOnBeforeGLEntryDelete(var NewGLEntry: Record "G/L Entry"; GLEntry: Record "G/L Entry")` (integration): Integration event raised before deleting a G/L entry during the summarization process.
- `OnAfterInitNewEntry(var NewGLEntry: Record "G/L Entry")` (integration)

## Procedures

- `ComprCollectedEntries()`: Compresses collected dimension buffer entries into summarized G/L entries.
- `InitNewEntry(var NewGLEntry: Record "G/L Entry")`: Initializes a new G/L entry record for date compression with default values.
- `InitializeRequest(StartingDate: Date; EndingDate: Date; PeriodLength: Option; Description: Text[100]; NewDateComprRetainFields: Record "Date Compr. Retain Fields"; RetainDimensionText: Text[250]; DoUseDataArchive: Boolean)`: Initializes date compression parameters for programmatic execution.
- `SetSkipAnalysisViewUpdateCheck()` (internal)

Plus 9 local procedures.

## Triggers

OnPreReport, OnPostReport

## 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 411 "Dimension Buffer Management"](../codeunit/411.md) (4 calls: `ComprCollectedEntries → DeleteAllDimEntryNo`, `ComprCollectedEntries → FindFirstDimEntryNo`, `ComprCollectedEntries → NextDimEntryNo`, …)
- [Codeunit 408 "DimensionManagement"](../codeunit/408.md) (2 calls: `InsertNewEntry → CopyDimBufToDimSetEntry`, `InsertNewEntry → GetDimensionSetID`)
- [Codeunit 600 "Data Archive"](../codeunit/600.md) (2 calls: `InitializeParameter → DataArchiveProviderExists`, `SummarizeEntry → SaveRecord`)
- [Codeunit 9040 "Date Compression"](../codeunit/9040.md) (2 calls: `InitializeParameter → CalcMaxEndDate`, `OnPreReport → VerifyDateCompressionDates`)

## Recent changes

- 2026-07-25 [#9455 Update permissions for G/L Transaction table](../../changes/bcapps/9455.md) (main, BC30, fix)

## 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: "report", object_name: "Date Compress General Ledger")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
