Production Definition Wizard - Implementation

[stevengrossGOB]

What & why

This PR introduces the Production Definition Wizard, a guided multi-step wizard for defining and configuring the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Routing of manufactured items.

This pull request introduces enhancements to the Manufacturing module, focusing on better support for the Production Definition Wizard, improved handling of temporary records in production tables, and new configuration options for production order creation. The changes add new fields and UI controls for wizard customization, expand event publishers for extensibility, and ensure that temporary records are handled safely in business logic.

Key changes include:

Production Definition Wizard Enhancements:

• Added new configuration fields to ManufacturingSetup.Table.al and corresponding UI groups to ManufacturingSetup.Page.al to control the visibility and behavior of wizard steps, default values, and user overrides in the Production Definition Wizard. These include options for BOM/routing step display, component preview, always saving modified versions, UI selection overrides, and default values for work center, component item, and flushing method.

• Added a new field UseProductDefinitionWizard to the CreateOrderFromSales.Page.al page, including logic to control its editability and tooltip, allowing users to opt into the wizard during order creation. [1] [2]

Temporary Record Handling Improvements:

• Updated multiple procedures in Prod. Order Component and Prod. Order Routing Line tables to check for temporary records using IsTemporary(), exiting early to prevent unintended processing or database access. This improves stability when working with in-memory (temporary) records. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Extensibility and Event Publisher Updates:

• Expanded several integration events to include new parameters (such as IsHandled and ProdOrderLine) for greater flexibility in extensions. Added new event publishers like OnBeforeGetProdOrderNeeds and OnBeforeGetProdOrderLine to allow external code to influence or override logic in key procedures. [1] [2] [3]

Miscellaneous:

• Added missing using directives for new dependencies related to the wizard and work center modules. [1] [2]
• Minor merge artifact cleanup in ManufacturingSetup.Page.al.

These changes collectively improve the configurability, safety, and extensibility of the manufacturing order creation and management processes.

How I validated this

• I read the full diff and it contains only changes I intended.
• I built the affected app(s) locally with no new analyzer warnings.
• I ran the change in Business Central and confirmed it behaves as expected.
• I added or updated tests for the new behavior, or explained below why none are needed.

What I tested and the outcome (required — be specific: scenarios, commands, screenshots for UI changes)

• 10 new test codeunits covering BOM/Routing selection, source initialization, save targets, variants, versions, item structure, sales planning flow, and configuration.
• 3 library codeunits + 2 page extensions for test support.
• Ran wizard from Item and Sales Order Planning Page

Risk & compatibility

• Make Standard code for production order creation and related tables work with temporary records - standard code with unsupported procedures have been guarded with if IsTemporary() then exit; pattern
