## Events published

- `OnAfterInitVATReportArchive(var VATReportArchive: Record "VAT Report Archive"; var Rec: Record "VAT Report Archive")` (integration)
- `OnAfterNoSubmissionMessageAvailableError(var VATReportArchive: Record "VAT Report Archive"; var Rec: Record "VAT Report Archive"; VATReportTypeValue: Option; VATReportNoValue: Code[20])` (integration)
- `OnAfterNoResponseMessageAvailableError(var VATReportArchive: Record "VAT Report Archive"; var Rec: Record "VAT Report Archive"; VATReportTypeValue: Option; VATReportNoValue: Code[20])` (integration)

## Procedures

- `ArchiveSubmissionMessage(VATReportTypeValue: Option; VATReportNoValue: Code[20]; TempBlobSubmissionMessage: Codeunit "Temp Blob"): Boolean`: Archives the submission message for a VAT report with compression and user tracking. Creates new archive record with submission details and compressed message data.
- `ArchiveResponseMessage(VATReportTypeValue: Option; VATReportNoValue: Code[20]; TempBlobResponseMessage: Codeunit "Temp Blob"): Boolean`: Archives the response message received from tax authorities for an existing VAT report submission. Updates existing archive record with response data and timestamp.
- `DownloadSubmissionMessage(VATReportTypeValue: Option; VATReportNoValue: Code[20])`: Downloads the archived submission message as a compressed ZIP file. Includes document attachments if available, otherwise downloads BLOB data.
- `DownloadResponseMessage(VATReportTypeValue: Option; VATReportNoValue: Code[20])`: Downloads the archived response message as a compressed ZIP file. Includes document attachments if available, otherwise downloads BLOB data.
- `SetSubmissionMessageBLOBFromBlob(TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob")`: Sets the submission message BLOB field from a Temp Blob codeunit. Transfers BLOB data using RecordRef for field manipulation.
- `SetResponseMessageBLOBFromBlob(TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob")`: Sets the response message BLOB field from a Temp Blob codeunit. Transfers BLOB data using RecordRef for field manipulation.

## 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: "VAT Report Archive")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
