This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.

The thirteenth of the new functionality in the Development section is Get smarter method signature recommendations in IntelliSense.

One of the most common uses of IntelliSense when authoring code is getting parameter help on methods. IntelliSense is a great help, but not when showing options that don’t apply. Until now in AL, when there were multiple method overloads, the user would have to switch between them to get help matching the chosen overload. In this release, IntelliSense will be smarter and actually prioritize the first valid overload.

Feature Details

The AL Language extension will now reorder and prioritize relevant overloads when the developer starts typing a method invocation. If the typed expression corresponds to a valid overload, it will always be the first recommendation and the correct active parameter will be highlighted. The rest of the recommendations will be sorted in the order of relevance based on the provided parameters.

The twelfth of the new functionality in the Development section is Get IntelliSense for adding variables in Visual Studio Code AL debugger console.

Usually when debugging code, the developer wants to see variable contents by adding it in the debug console window. To help raise discoverability and make it easier to add variables, the debugger console window now support IntelliSense.

Feature Details

The console supports IntelliSense for object types and members that can be evaluated in the context of the debugger: fields, locals, globals, and member symbols that are not methods on a data type.

Microsoft still don’t allow evaluations of methods in the console.

The debugger watch window is not supported for now, due to lack of integration points with Visual Studio Code.

With a location enabled for requiring receive, we can now the receipt of goods to the warehouse.

There are two methods for using warehouse receipts:

1. Push, which is where a warehouse receipt is created for a single purchase (or other document bringing stock in, such as a sales return) order from the Create Whse. Receipt action on the Purchase Order card.
2. Pull, which is where a warehouse receipt is created from the Warehouse receipts page. This would typically be used when a shipment from a supplier has come in with goods from multiple orders.

In this post, I will be stepping through the second of the above methods, but you end up in the same window when you use the action mentioned in the first.

To create a warehouse receipt, search for Warehouse Receipts and click the New button.

Tab from the No. field and select the location for which goods are being received. Set the Posting Date and enter the Vendor Posting Number:
