Adding event handling in Packing Shipments app

Minor additional development is (probably) required to process the user input on the packing bench

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"ngr Packing Helper", 'OnPackBenchInput', '', true, true)]
local procedure OnPackBenchInput(ConsignDoc: Record "ngr Consignment Doc";
    Allowed: List of [Enum "ngr Bench Action"];
    var Handled: Boolean;
    var Input: Text)
begin
// "Allowed" = list of valid actions, e.g.: if (Allowed.Contains("ngr Bench Action"::"/SaleDoc")) then ... 
// "Handled" = set to true if you are changing the "Input". 
// "Input" = the original input from the user, which your code could now change, e.g.: if you can find 
//           a document associated with the input then change this to be the found document number. 
end;

Adding special delivery instructions in Metapack Essential

Minor additional development is required to extract the instructions text(s) for each specified order/shipment within the following event subscriber function.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"mpk Essentials Setup", 'OnGetSpecialInstructions', '', false, false)]
local procedure OnGetSpecialInstruct(WhseShipDoc: Code[20]; SourceTable: Integer; Subtype: Integer; SourceNum: Code[20];
    var Instruct1: Text;
    var Instruct2: Text)
begin
// Populate the Instruct1 and Instruct2 texts from the specified warehouse shipment / order (line) document. 
end;
