MVG & Dynamic Picklist

The document discusses the differences between Pick Applet and MVG Applet in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Pick Applet is used for one-to-one or many-to-one relationships and involves joining tables, while MVG Applet is used for one-to-many or many-to-many relationships and involves linking records. It is difficult to determine which to use based solely on screens and fields, and the relationship between the entities should be considered. Dynamic PickLists pull single values from other business components using joins, whereas MVG Applets manage related child records using multi-value links and allow for more complex queries across components. PickLists are for single value fields and MVG Applets are

Pick Applet & MVG Applet ======================== I understand that the Pick Applet is for when the relation

is M:1 or 1:1 as we u se Join in it whereas MVG Applet is used when the relation is M:M or 1:M as we u se Link in it. But how do we decide looking at screens & fields in the Applet to be configured whether to configure the fields using MVG or pick applet. Differences between Dynamic PickList (DP) & MVG 1.Usage: DP is used to draw/pick a value for a field in Originating BC from any BC whereas MVGs is an alternative to a detail view for managing parent and rela ted child records. It allows complex queries that span multiple BCs which would have not been possible when displaying parent child in a detail view. (Example: In case of DP: Originating BC=Opportunity S_OPTY, Pick BC=Account. For MVG:Parent=Account, Child= Business Address MVG, Territory MVG, Account Team MVG) For Example: MVG=> Account BO instance can have multiple Business Addresses as c hild say BA1 (primary), BA2, BA3. The business requires that only the primary ad dress be associated with the Account. 2.DP is associated with a Single Value Field (SVF) whereas MVG is used for Multi Value Fields (MVFs). Multi Value Field is a field in the parent C that referenc es a field in the Child BC (not a column in a table). 3.Based on: DP pulls information from a BC with the help of JOINS whereas MVG uses multi-value links (MVLs). 4.Relationship: DP is used to implement 1:1 or M:1 whereas MVG is used for 1:M or M:M
