## Properties

| DataClassification | CustomerContent |

## Fields

Explanation: the field's ToolTip in the code; without one, the ToolTip of a page control bound to the field (marked via the page); without that, its Caption (marked caption) when that differs from the name.

| No. | Name | Type | Explanation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Code | Code[10] | Specifies a code which identifies this standard purchase code. | NotBlank |
| 2 | Description | Text[100] | Specifies a description of the standard purchase code. |  |

- [Page 175 "Standard Purchase Code Card"](../page/175.md) (source table)
- [Page 177 "Standard Purchase Codes"](../page/177.md) (source table)

## 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 27 "Confirm Management"](../codeunit/27.md) (1 call: `OnDelete → GetResponseOrDefault`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC24, BC28

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: "table", object_name: "Standard Purchase Code")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
