For this chapter, you will need an AL development sandbox. You can use one that you created previously in this book, but make sure to remove any existing applications that you may have published to it.
If you need help, you can always refer to the Setting up your development sandbox recipe in Chapter 1, Let’s Get the Basics Out of the Way, for information on how to set all of this up.
For the recipes in this chapter, we'll be working with a new AL project. Here's an overview of its functionality:

- New transactions can be created manually in the worksheet, or by using the Copy Transaction routine to copy from existing open or posted transaction entries:
Code samples and scripts are available on GitHub. Some of the recipes in this chapter build on previous recipes. You can download the completed recipe code from https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Business-Central-Cookbook.
You will need to download ch6/ch6-start.zip from the aforementioned GitHub repository in order to perform the recipes in this chapter.
