## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Caption | Quality Inspection Generation Rule |
| DataClassification | CustomerContent |
| LookupPageId | Qlty. Inspection Gen. Rules |
| DrillDownPageId | Qlty. Inspection Gen. Rules |
| Permissions | tabledata "Qlty. Management Setup" = r, tabledata "Qlty. Inspection Template Hdr." = r |

## 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 | Entry No. | Integer | — |  |
| 2 | Sort Order | Integer | Specifies the order to look for matches. The smallest value will get looked at first. |  |
| 3 | Intent | Enum "Qlty. Gen. Rule Intent" | Specifies the intent of this rule. This is used for categorization and to help control the editability of various trigger fields. | enum [Enum 20460 "Qlty. Gen. Rule Intent"](../enum/20460.md) |
| 4 | Schedule Group | Code[20] | Specifies a group which allows a schedule to refer to multiple inspection generation rules. |  |

| 12 | Source Table No. | Integer | Specifies the table for this rule. For example for receiving to a Purchase Line, you would use table 39. For production typically 5409 for Production Order Routing Line. | TableRelation AllObjWithCaption."Object ID" where("Object Type" = const(Table), "Object ID" = field("Table ID Filter")) |
| 13 | Condition Filter | Text[2048] | Specifies the criteria for defining when to use this template. For example, if you wanted to only use a template for a certain item then you would define that item here. |  |
| 14 | Description | Text[100] | Specifies an explanation of this rule. |  |
| 15 | Table Caption | Text[250] | Specifies the table for this rule. For example for receiving to a Purchase Line, you would use table 39. For production typically 5409 for Production Order Routing Line. | FlowField: lookup(AllObjWithCaption."Object Caption" where("Object Type" = const(Table), "Object ID" = field("Source Table No."))); not editable |
| 18 | Table ID Filter | Integer | — | FlowFilter |
| 19 | Item Filter | Text[2048] | Specifies the item specific criteria for defining when to use this template. |  |
| 20 | Item Attribute Filter | Text[2048] | Specifies the item attribute specific criteria for defining when to use this template. |  |
| 21 | Activation Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Gen. Rule Act. Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule is active for manually created inspections only, automatically created inspections only, both, or disabled entirely. | enum [Enum 20459 "Qlty. Gen. Rule Act. Trigger"](../enum/20459.md) |
| 22 | Warehouse Receipt Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Whse. Receipt Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule should be used to automatically create inspections based on a Warehouse Receipt Trigger. | enum [Enum 20450 "Qlty. Whse. Receipt Trigger"](../enum/20450.md) |
| 23 | Purchase Order Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Purchase Order Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule should be used to automatically create inspections based on a purchase receive trigger. | enum [Enum 20452 "Qlty. Purchase Order Trigger"](../enum/20452.md) |
| 24 | Sales Return Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Sales Return Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule should be used to automatically create inspections based on a sales return receive trigger. | enum [Enum 20453 "Qlty. Sales Return Trigger"](../enum/20453.md) |
| 25 | Transfer Order Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Transfer Order Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule should be used to automatically create inspections based on a transfer receive trigger. | enum [Enum 20454 "Qlty. Transfer Order Trigger"](../enum/20454.md) |
| 26 | Production Order Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Production Order Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule should be used to automatically create inspections based on a Production Order Trigger. | enum [Enum 20406 "Qlty. Production Order Trigger"](../enum/20406.md) |
| 27 | Assembly Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Assembly Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule should be used to automatically create inspections based on an assembly trigger. | enum [Enum 20457 "Qlty. Assembly Trigger"](../enum/20457.md) |
| 28 | Warehouse Movement Trigger | Enum "Qlty. Warehouse Trigger" | Specifies whether the generation rule should be used to automatically create inspections based on a warehouse movement trigger. | enum [Enum 20438 "Qlty. Warehouse Trigger"](../enum/20438.md) |

## Keys

- Key1: Entry No. (clustered)
- Key2: Sort Order
- Key3: Sort Order, Intent
- Key4: Template Code, Source Table No., Sort Order
- Key5: Source Table No.
- Key6: Activation Trigger, Sort Order
- Key7: Template Code, Schedule Group, Description

## Procedures

- `SetEntryNo()` (internal): Assigns the next entry number when the generation rule has no entry number.
- `UpdateSortOrder()` (internal): Assigns a sort order after the current highest value when the sort order is zero or one.
- `HandleOnAssistEditSourceTable()` (internal): Looks up a source table from configured tables and validates the selected table number.
- `AssistEditConditionTableFilter(): Boolean`: Provides the ability to assist edit a condition filter.
- `AssistEditConditionItemFilter(): Boolean`: Provides the ability to assist edit an item filter.
- `AssistEditConditionAttributeFilter()`: Provides the ability to assist edit an attribute filter.
- `GetTemplateCodeFromRecordOrFilter(OnlyFilters: Boolean): Code[20]`: Gets the template code from either the selected record, or the filter.
- `SetIntentAndDefaultTriggerValuesFromSetup()` (internal): Sets the default automatic inspection creation triggers for generation rules based on the values set in Quality Management Setup
- `TryInferGenerationRuleIntent(var QltyGenRuleIntent: Enum "Qlty. Gen. Rule Intent"; var QltyCertainty: Enum "Qlty. Certainty")` (internal): Attempts to infer the generation rule intent and certainty without propagating inference errors.
- `InferGenerationRuleIntent(var QltyGenRuleIntent: Enum "Qlty. Gen. Rule Intent"; var QltyCertainty: Enum "Qlty. Certainty")`: Gets the intent of the generation rule if it can be determined

Plus 9 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 20403 "Qlty. Filter Helpers"](../codeunit/20403.md) (9 calls: `AssistEditConditionAttributeFilter → BuildItemAttributeFilter2048`, `AssistEditConditionItemFilter → BuildFilter`, `AssistEditConditionTableFilter → BuildFilter`, …)
- [Codeunit 20405 "Qlty. Inspec. Gen. Rule Mgmt."](../codeunit/20405.md) (1 call: `HandleOnAssistEditSourceTable → GetFilterForAvailableConfigurations`)

## 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: "Qlty. Inspection Gen. Rule")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
