How to Enable Extensions for Custom BODs in Infor LN

VinayakShetty · 2025-06-01T08:26:37+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I’m working on enabling extensions for custom BODs in LN, and according to the developer guide, the BOD must include a UserArea to support extensibility.

Could anyone clarify:

How exactly should the UserArea be added?
Should it be defined as a separate element within the BOD schema?
Are there any best practices or examples for properly structuring this?

Any guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The UserArea is prepared and added by Infor. If so, the BOD extension modeler will recognize the UserArea automatically.

Hello Charthoo,

Thank you for the response.

Do you happen to know how to add a UserArea in the case of a custom BOD (i.e., one that is not a standard Infor BOD)?

Custom BODs don't really need extensions. Extensions is basically for extending standard BODs with additional fields.

Since custom BODs as associated with fields as required, logics as required, the need for extension is next to nothing.
