Different ways to check the current legal entity in x++

There are various ways in x++ to check the current company in X++ (Ax2012 / D365FO).

1. Using SysCountryRegionCode::isLegalEntityInCountryRegion

Simplest built-in method.

Example:

#ISOCountryRegionCodes
if (SysCountryRegionCode::isLegalEntityInCountryRegion(#isoUS))
{
    info("Current legal entity is in the United States.");
}

Pros: Direct, readable, uses enum. No Hard-coding of the legal entity

Cons: Limited to predefined SysCountryRegionCode macro values.

2. Using CompanyInfo::current()

Retrieves the CompanyInfo recordId for the current DataAreaId.

Example:

CompanyInfo companyInfo = CompanyInfo::current();
if (companyInfo.CountryRegionId == 'US')
{
    info("Legal entity is US");
}

This method is provided for callers which need the record ID of a legal entity but do not need any other fields.

Pros: Flexible, can check against any country code string.

Cons: Requires explicit string comparison.

3. Querying CompanyInfo Table

Direct query using curext() (current company ID).

Example:

CompanyInfo companyInfo;
select firstOnly companyInfo
    where companyInfo.DataArea == curext();

if (companyInfo.CountryRegionId == 'GB')
{
    info("Legal entity is UK.");
}

Pros: Useful if you need additional metadata (name, address, etc.).

Cons: Slightly heavier than CompanyInfo::current().
