Operation could not completed parameter is incorrect D365 for finance and operations.

by

Aahaaaa, just started development, one table, some edts and a form, as I tried to compile , I found the Error

” Operation could not completed parameter is incorrect”.

Machine generated alternative text: Microsoft Visual Studio The operation could not be completed. The parameter is incorrect. OK x

Interestingly, the old trick, run visual studio as administrator still works here.

So I saved the project and run the Visual studio by right click on visual studio Icon and select the run at Administrator.

Customer / Vendor ledger Dimension D365 for finance and operations X++

by

 

In D365 for finance things are little bit change and much more organized. In Dynamics Ax 2012, which consider as classic AX. We get ledger dimension  with DimensionStorage class

 

ledgerDim = DimensionStorage::getDynamicAccount(

‘US-001’,

LedgerJournalACType::Cust);//Account

offsetLedgerDim = DimensionStorage::getDynamicAccount(

‘USMF OPER’,

LedgerJournalACType::Bank);//OffsetAccount

 

 

 

 

In D365 this Microsoft provide LedgerDynamicAccountHelper. Code snippet is here

 

 

 

 

 

 

ledgerDim = LedgerDynamicAccountHelper:

:getDynamicAccountFromAccountNumber(‘US-1001’,

LedgerJournalACType::Cust);

 

offsetLedgerDim = LedgerDynamicAccountHelper:

:getDynamicAccountFromAccountNumber(

‘USMF OPER’,

LedgerJournalACType::Bank);

Item Group is not specified Dynamics Ax 2012

by

Until and unless you have not good grip on functional side, you are unable to deliver customization. This idea constantly grow in mind and now started to grow as fear,

What if the functional consultant is not available or not provide good testing. And your piece of Code breaks in Production.  In ERP things goes beyond unit testing, We need extensive scenario based testing. In ERP development is easy, but covering all possible scenarios is tough, you have to grow functionally.

 

So I started to explore functional side by my own. And small issue starts to popup and now I started to document as I faced them 1 by 1 during learning process.

 

So I got very small issues. When I tried to use a newly created item in purchase line.

Item Group is not specified for item.

 

 

 

It took me almost 10-15 minutes where is the Item group in Release product detail form.

 

I found it in Manage Costs fast tab.

Process Busy Indicator D365 for finance and operations

by

Hi All, today I have small tip, During development, I have to process a lot of records. During this , I need Busy screen process indicator.

 

I used following code snippet to create progress busy indicator.

 

For this I have to do following changes in my Class method (Business logic).

  1. Convert required method to Static
  2. Parameter is changed to Container and then required parameter extract from container inside the method.

 

 

So my required method become something like

 

 

Class myProcess

{

 

 

Public static void RunmyProcess(Container _C)

{

Str _Value = conpeek(_C,1);

 

 

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

class RunBtnProcess

{

/// <summary>

///

/// </summary>

public void clicked()

{

 

container _Xyz=[TableName.FieldValue];

super();

SysOperationSandbox::callStaticMethod(classNum(myProcess),
staticMethodStr(myProcess,RunmyProcess),_Xyz, 
'Ledger Record in process', 'Operation completed');

 

 

}

 

}
