This article is part of the Source Codes in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and of the larger ongoing In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Administration), how do I… series and of the wider In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how do I… series which I am posting as I familiarise myself with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
A source code in Business Central indicates where an entry was created, allowing you to see if an entry came from a journal, purchase invoice, sales order and so on. Each posting type in the system has a specific source code which is assigned when the entry is created.
Over the next few articles, I’ll cover how to create and maintain source codes in the system, but also why and how you can use alternative source codes.
