## Events published

- `OnAfterPrepareSales(var DeferralPostingBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer"; SalesLine: Record "Sales Line")` (integration): Integration event raised after preparing deferral posting buffer for sales line processing. Enables custom field updates or additional processing after sales line preparation.
- `OnAfterPreparePurch(var DeferralPostingBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer"; PurchaseLine: Record "Purchase Line")` (integration): Integration event raised after preparing deferral posting buffer for purchase line processing. Enables custom field updates or additional processing after purchase line preparation.
- `OnUpdateOnAfterSetFilters(var DeferralPostingBufferRec: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer"; DeferralPostBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer")` (integration): Integration event raised after setting filters on deferral posting buffer during update operation. Enables custom filter modification or additional processing on filtered records.
- `OnUpdateOnBeforeDeferralPostBufferInsert(var ToDeferralPostingBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer"; FromDeferralPostingBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer")` (integration): Integration event raised before inserting deferral posting buffer record during update operation. Enables custom field updates or validation before buffer record insertion.
- `OnAfterPrepareRemainderPurchase(var DeferralPostingBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer"; PurchaseLine: Record "Purchase Line")` (integration): Integration event raised after preparing remainder deferral posting buffer for purchase processing. Enables custom processing of remainder amounts for purchase transactions.
- `OnAfterPrepareRemainderSales(var DeferralPostingBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer"; SalesLine: Record "Sales Line")` (integration): Integration event raised after preparing remainder deferral posting buffer for sales processing. Enables custom processing of remainder amounts for sales transactions.

## Procedures

- `PrepareSales(SalesLine: Record "Sales Line"; DocumentNo: Code[20])`: Prepares the deferral posting buffer for sales line posting. Initializes buffer fields with sales line dimensions and tax information.
- `ReverseAmounts()`: Reverses the signs of all amount fields in the posting buffer. Used for credit transactions and corrections.
- `PreparePurch(PurchLine: Record "Purchase Line"; DocumentNo: Code[20])`: Prepares the deferral posting buffer for purchase line posting. Initializes buffer fields with purchase line dimensions and tax information.
- `PrepareRemainderSales(SalesLine: Record "Sales Line"; NewAmountLCY: Decimal; NewAmount: Decimal; GLAccount: Code[20]; DeferralAccount: Code[20]; DeferralLineNo: Integer)`: Prepares the deferral posting buffer for remainder sales amounts. Handles partial deferrals where only part of the line amount is deferred.
- `PrepareRemainderPurchase(PurchaseLine: Record "Purchase Line"; NewAmountLCY: Decimal; NewAmount: Decimal; GLAccount: Code[20]; DeferralAccount: Code[20]; DeferralLineNo: Integer)`: Prepares the deferral posting buffer for remainder purchase amounts. Handles partial deferrals where only part of the line amount is deferred.
- `PrepareInitialAmounts(AmountLCY: Decimal; AmountACY: decimal; RemainAmtToDefer: Decimal; RemainAmtToDeferACY: Decimal; GLAccount: Code[20]; DeferralAccount: Code[20])`: Prepares initial amounts for deferral posting buffer. Overload method without discount parameters.
- `PrepareInitialAmounts(AmountLCY: Decimal; AmountACY: decimal; RemainAmtToDefer: Decimal; RemainAmtToDeferACY: Decimal; GLAccount: Code[20]; DeferralAccount: Code[20]; DiscountAmount: Decimal; DiscountAmountACY: Decimal)`: Prepares initial amounts for deferral posting buffer including discount handling. Extended version with discount amount parameters.
- `InitFromDeferralLine(DeferralLine: Record "Deferral Line")`: Initializes the posting buffer from a deferral line record. Copies amounts, dates, and description from the deferral line.
- `Update(DeferralPostBuffer: Record "Deferral Posting Buffer")`: Updates an existing deferral posting buffer record with values from another buffer. Accumulates amounts if a matching record exists, otherwise creates a new record.
- `GetLastEntryNo(): Integer`: Gets the last entry number used in the deferral posting buffer table. Used for assigning sequential entry numbers to new buffer records.

Plus 2 local procedures.

## 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 703 "Find Record Management"](../codeunit/703.md) (1 call: `GetLastEntryNo → GetLastEntryIntFieldValue`)

## 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: "table", object_name: "Deferral Posting Buffer")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
