Internal procedure only used in current object

Declaring a procedure as internal signals that other objects within the same extension can call it. When no other object actually does, the extra visibility serves no purpose — it exposes the procedure to the rest of the extension and makes it harder to refactor or remove without first checking all dependents. Change the procedure to local to match its actual usage scope.

Example

codeunit 50100 "Sales Validator"
{
    procedure ValidateAndPost()
    begin
        CheckAmounts();
    end;

    internal procedure CheckAmounts() // Internal procedure only used in current object [LC0053]
    begin
    end;
}

Change the procedure to local:

codeunit 50100 "Sales Validator"
{
    procedure ValidateAndPost()
    begin
        CheckAmounts();
    end;

    local procedure CheckAmounts()
    begin
    end;
}

Exception

When internalsVisibleTo is configured in app.json, internal procedures become accessible to the listed apps. The rule does not trigger for any procedure in the extension when this property has entries. See LC0052 for details.
