## Events published

- `OnBeforeCheckRoundingError(var ErrorMessage: Boolean)` (integration): Integration event raised before validating rounding error configuration. Enables custom error message handling and validation logic for rounding tolerances.
- `OnAfterIsPostingAllowed(GeneralLedgerSetup: Record "General Ledger Setup"; PostingDate: Date; var Result: Boolean)` (integration): Integration event raised after determining if posting is allowed for a given date. Enables custom posting date validation logic and period override capabilities.
- `OnBeforeFirstAllowedPostingDate(GeneralLedgerSetup: Record "General Ledger Setup"; var AllowedPostingDate: Date; var IsHandled: Boolean)` (integration): Integration event raised before calculating the first allowed posting date. Enables custom logic for determining earliest allowable posting date based on setup and user permissions.
- `OnAfterUpdateDimValueGlobalDimNo(ShortCutDimNo: Integer; OldDimensionCode: Code[20]; NewDimensionCode: Code[20])` (integration): Integration event raised after updating global dimension assignments for dimension values. Enables custom processing and validation when global dimensions are reconfigured.
- `OnBeforeValidateAdditionalReportingCurrency(var AdditionalReportingCurrency: Code[10]; xRecAdditionalReportingCurrency: Code[10]; var IsHandled: Boolean)` (integration): Integration event raised before validating the Additional Reporting Currency field. Enables custom validation logic and the ability to bypass the standard adjustment and analysis view processing.
