[Global procedure] Codeunit 7500 "Item Attribute Management".InsertItemAttributeValueMapping

[fridrichovsky]

Why do you need this change?

Please do procedure InsertItemAttributeValueMapping as global. We need use this procedure in our extensions. Similar procedure DeleteItemAttributeValueMapping is as global. So we can delete records now, but we can't create them.

Describe the request

//local procedure InsertItemAttributeValueMapping(Item: Record Item; var TempItemAttributeValueToInsert: Record "Item Attribute Value" temporary)
procedure InsertItemAttributeValueMapping(Item: Record Item; var TempItemAttributeValueToInsert: Record "Item Attribute Value" temporary)

Internal work item: AB#625686

Hi @fridrichovsky,

Thanks for submitting this extensibility request. To help us process it efficiently, please update the issue to include the required information.

📚 Extensibility Guidelines

Missing Information:

• Meaningful Justification: The current justification "We need use this procedure in our extensions" is too generic. Please provide:

  • What specific functionality you need to implement in your extension that requires calling InsertItemAttributeValueMapping
  • Technical intent or business scenario (e.g., "need to insert custom attribute mappings during sales order processing" or "need to map attributes when importing items from external system")
  • Why code duplication is not feasible - Explain why duplicating this logic in your extension is not a viable alternative

  Example of good justification: "We need to programmatically create item attribute value mappings during our automated item import process from an external ERP system. The import creates items and needs to assign attribute values based on external data. Currently, we can only delete mappings using the public DeleteItemAttributeValueMapping procedure, but cannot create new mappings without duplicating the entire InsertItemAttributeValueMapping logic in our extension, which contains complex validation and relationship management that would be error-prone to replicate."

Please update the issue with the missing details. We'll automatically re-analyze once updated.

Current code:

local procedure InsertItemAttributeValueMapping(Item: Record Item; var TempItemAttributeValueToInsert: Record "Item Attribute Value" temporary)

Proposed change:

procedure InsertItemAttributeValueMapping(Item: Record Item; var TempItemAttributeValueToInsert: Record "Item Attribute Value" temporary)
