Change posted customer/vendor due dates through the entry-edit workflow
Description
A posted customer or vendor due date is supported editable operational data, but it is also represented by Initial Entry Due Date on related detailed ledger entries. Validating Due Date and calling Modify(true) on the main entry does not perform all synchronization done by "Cust. Entry-Edit" or "Vend. Entry-Edit". The main entry and due-date-based analysis can otherwise disagree.
Best Practice
Fetch the existing entry, validate the proposed Due Date, and pass the changed record to the corresponding entry-edit codeunit, as the standard ledger pages do. Field validation enforces entry-state rules; the editor persists the supported change and synchronizes related detailed entries. Preserve both steps rather than treating table triggers as equivalent to the edit workflow.
This is a due-date synchronization rule, not a prohibition on all operational edits after posting. Exclude temporary buffers, extension-only fields, supported editor internals, and code that demonstrably performs the equivalent synchronization under the supported workflow. Check the actual table/routine instead of assuming every *Entry-Edit accepts the same fields.
See sample: change-ledger-due-dates-through-entry-edit.good.al.
Anti Pattern
Change Due Date on an existing non-temporary Cust. Ledger Entry or Vendor Ledger Entry and persist it with Modify, Modify(true), or ModifyAll without the edit workflow or equivalent related-entry update. A preceding Validate("Due Date", ...) is not sufficient evidence of synchronization.
