First thing is that there shouldn’t be any provision to create the record in the parameters form. The record in the Parameters should be by default and it can be updated as per the functionality required

So when creating the new company in the Axapta, the parameters form should have the default values.

To have the default values in the parameters we need to have the following code in the table  level of find() of PayrollParameters tables .

static PayrollParameters find(boolean _forupdate = false)

{

    PayrollParameters  parameter;

    if (_forupdate)

    parameter.selectForUpdate(_forupdate);

    select firstonly parameter

        index Key

        where parameter.Key == 0;

    if (!parameter && !parameter.isTmp())

    {

        Company::createParameter(parameter);

        NumberSeqReference::construct(PayrollParameters::numberSeqModule()).load();

    }

    return parameter;

}
