A Session-Scoped Bulk Import Switch

A Session-Scoped Bulk Import Switch

Every night your app imports thousands of legacy orders, and every single line pays for an expensive amount validation that only matters for hand-typed entries. The import routine wants to switch that validation off for the duration of the run — but the switch and the validator live in different objects, the import reaches them through different code paths, and somewhere in between a cleanup routine calls ClearAll. You need one flag the whole session agrees on: flipped anywhere, seen everywhere, and immune to ClearAll.

Requirements

Create a codeunit named "Bulk Import Mode" with three public procedures:

procedure Activate()
procedure Deactivate()
procedure IsActive(): Boolean

1. The mode is one shared state for the whole session: after any code calls Activate(), IsActive() returns true from every variable of "Bulk Import Mode" — including variables declared in other objects — until someone calls Deactivate().
2. Deactivate() is the only off switch: after it, IsActive() returns false everywhere in the session.
