How to copy financial dimension form one object to other. Dynamics 365 For finance and operations

by

Hi all, In some cases we can need to copy  financial dimension from one object to  other for example Customer to Sales order or Vendor to purchase order.

In Ax 2012  it little easy. But in D365 For finance and operations, it is little bit tricky.

 

I did this with following code snippet.  With the help of out of box. LedgerDimensonDefaultFacade class i used the merge default dimension method and passed same table dimension in form and to dimension.

Result is interesting.

 

 

 salestable.DefaultDimension= LedgerDimensionDefaultFacade::serviceMergeDefaultDimensions(CustTable.DefaultDimension,CustTable.DefaultDimension);

Could not find FileLocations.xml in the package On-premises deployment failed Dynamics 365 for finance and operations

by

Today I faced this issue, While deployment of package on-premises deployment. Deployment failed, even rollback failed. log files shows following message

“Could not find FileLocations.xml in the package”

 

But event log files on orch 2 has very different story. It says

Task OrchestrationService.DeployModulesRunnerTask,OrchestrationService failed for command id 2b462374-eda7-41e5-88d5-da2fe3de9202

System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. —> System.TimeoutException: Operation timed out. —> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80071BFF at System.Fabric.Interop.NativeClient.IFabricApplicationManagementClient10.EndProvisionApplicationType3(IFabricAsyncOperationContext context) at

 

But both these error was misleading. Deployment successful, after stopping the antivirus.

 

 

 

Calling menu name in Extensions Dynamics 365 for finance and operations

by

In Ax 2012 we get menu name with element.Args().CallMenu name, using  taking decision on menu name.

 

But same logic we need to apply in Extension. But in D365 For finance and operations we did not overlay. Following code snippet helps me to implement similar logic in Extension.

 

 

[ExtensionOf(formStr(CustTable))]

final class IaLogisticsContactInfoGrid_Extension

{

 

 

/// <summary>

///

/// </summary>

/// <param name=”sender”></param>

/// <param name=”e”></param>

[FormEventHandler(formStr(LogisticsContactInfoGrid), FormEventType::Initialized)]

public static void LogisticsContactInfoGrid_OnInitialized(xFormRun sender, FormEventArgs e)

{

 

FormRun formRun = sender;

 

;

 

info(formRun.args().menuItemName());

}

 

}

Journal name . does not support journal type Daily X++ Dynamics 2012 r3

by

Hi did one customization, where I create Ledger Journal using X++ code. It was working perfectly fine with Ledger General Ledger entries. But threw error  on creating Ledger for AR,PR Payment.

 

I created ledger with following code snippet.  But it works only for Ledger for of Type Daily

 

AxLedgerJournalTable    header  = new AxLedgerJournalTable();
AxLedgerJournalTrans    trans   = new AxLedgerJournalTrans();

container               offsetDim;
LedgerJournalNameId     ledgerJournalNameId = “payment”;

header.parmJournalName(ledgerJournalNameId);
header.parmJournalType(LedgerJournalType::CustPayment);
header.save();

I replaced the above code with following snippet it works perfectly fine, rest of the code is works fine

LedgerJournalName ledgerJournalName;
LedgerJournalTable ledgerJournalTable;
LedgerJournalTrans ledgerJournalTrans;

select firstonly ledgerJournalName
where ledgerJournalName.JournalName == parameters.LedgerJournalNameId &&
ledgerJournalName.JournalType == LedgerJournalType::CustPayment;
if(!ledgerJournalName.RecId)
throw error(“@CAM184”);
if(ledgerJournalName)
{
ledgerJournalTable.JournalName = ledgerJournalName.JournalName;
ledgerJournalTable.Name = ledgerJournalName.Name;
ledgerJournalTable.insert();
}

In keyword While select statement X++ Dynamics 365 for finance and operations

by

Hi  Today I found very interesting post here , where we can use “In” keyword for While select or Select statement.

in will be enum based.

SalesTable  salesTable;
container   con = [SalesType::Sales, SalesType::ReturnItem, SalesType::Subscription];
while select * from salesTable
where salesTable.SalesType in con
{
Info(salesTable.SalesId);
}

Customer Financial Dimensions copy to Ledger Trans Financial dimension. Dynamics ax 2012 R3

by

Does experience count, As ERP consultant, There are always new challenge. With 7 years core Dynamics Customization Experience, Still found new things to learn. Experience told you how to hide your fear of unknown and possibility.

Today very small tip. Which i resolve with experience. We usually create Ledger General With X++ code. The code is available in many webs sites. But today I need to copy financial dimension of Customer/ Vendor/Bank/ Assets to Ledger Journal trans. I found  function in AxdDimensionUtil Class provide the functionality.

The code snippet is as follow. The ledger Journal trans have to two default dimension, one for account and second for offset account.

Suppose we are copy financial dimension form customer account to customer.

trans.parmAccountType(LedgerJournalACType::Cust);
custTable =CustTable::find(_account);
conDim= AxdDimensionUtil::getDimensionAttributeValueSetValue(custTable.DefaultDimension);
trans.parmDefaultDimension(

AxdDimensionUtil::getDimensionAttributeValueSetId(conDim)

);

 

Paging in Query X++ Dynamics 365 for finance and operations

by

For paging in X++ Query. There are three steps required. Rest of Query Code is same.

We have to set following things in Query data source

  • Set Sort field in Query data Source.
  • Paging position property of QueryRun is set to true.
  • Add page range with starting position and number of records in QueryRun

Here is code snippet

 

  QueryBuildRange qbr,qbrStartDate,qbrEndDate;
QueryBuildDataSource qbd;
IAPageSize EnumPageSize;

QueryRun        qr;

Query           query = new Query();

Int pageSize = 2;

 

qbd = query.addDataSource(TableNum(ProjPlanVersion));
qbd.addOrderByField(fieldNum(ProjPlanVersion,HierarchyId));

qr = new QueryRun(query);

qr.enablePositionPaging(true);
            CurrentPageNumber =1;
            startingposition = CurrentPageNumber * pagesize;
            qr.addPageRange(startingposition, totalRows);
while(qr.next())

 

{

 

Info (“”);

}

Cannot stop DynamicsAxBatch service on computer Dynamics 365 for finance and operations

by

I still like the Idea shared by “Gary Vaynerchuk ” Post ” Document dont create” So I document what I face today and resolved.

 

Today I am facing Project compilation Error in Visual studio output pane, I am struggling to understand Table control, so I can meet the development of my next assignment.  Error was

 

 

 

Severity        Code        Description        Project        File        Line        Suppression State

Error                One or more errors occurred. —> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot stop DynamicsAxBatch service on computer ‘.’. —> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service cannot accept control messages at this time

— End of inner exception stack trace —

at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Stop()

 

When I open Services, I found that DynamicsAXBatch services is in stopping mode and stuck.

 

So I killed the service process with CMD command. “taskkill /f /pid [pid number]”

 

The message already shows the service name. ” DynamicsAXBatch” You can copy it from Service detail dialog.

 

So Open CMD with run as administrator and run the following command and get  pid

 

sc queryex DynamicsAxBatch

 

Now I have IP.

 

And kill the Process Id

 

taskkill /f /pid 5352

 

Now I start the service again.

Project is successfully complied.
