What are Codeunits in Business Central?
Share knowledge. Learn from experts. Build together.
Question
Codeunits in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are AL objects used to contain reusable business logic and procedural code. Unlike pages or tables, codeunits generally do not provide a user interface. They are commonly used to encapsulate complex business operations, integration logic, calculations, validations, and event-handling logic.
Codeunits can work with tables, records, APIs, reports, and other Business Central objects. They also play an important role in event-driven development through event subscribers, allowing developers to extend standard Business Central functionality without modifying Microsoft's base application.
Answers

Codeunits can process calculations, validations, integrations, background tasks and business operations, making them one of the most important development components in Business Central.
