NAV - Print & E-Mail PDF

This has been blogged and discussed on forums many times before but I thought I would write one about Amyuni. I have been using it for a number of years and IMHO is a very good product. This also works on vista and x64.

Here is how to use it – I won't go into detail with all the variables etc:
//PDFConverter – Automation - 'Common Driver Interface Control'.CDIntfEx
IF ISCLEAR(PDFConverter) THEN
  CREATE(PDFConverter);

// PrinterNameText on default install is 'Amyuni PDF Converter'
PDFConverter.DriverInit(PrinterNameText);
PDFConverter.Lock(PrinterNameText);

//You must enable the printer with the correct licensee and activation code.
//If this is different to the installation – you will get an error.
PDFConverter.EnablePrinter(LicenseeText,ActivationCodeText);
PDFConverter.FileNameOptions(3);
PDFConverter.DefaultDirectory(TEMPORARYPATH);
PDFConverter.SetDefaultPrinter;
PDFConverter.DefaultFileName(TempFileName);

REPORT.RUNMODAL(REPORT::"Sales – Invoice",FALSE,TRUE,SalesInvHeader);

PDFConverter.FileNameOptions(0);
PDFConverter.RestoreDefaultPrinter;

//Codeunit 397 - Mail
IF Mail.NewMessage(SendTo,'',EmailSubject,EmailBody,TempFileName,TRUE) THEN;
ERASE(TempFileName);
Most common issue people have with this is. The activation code doesn't match what has been installed or a different version is used.

List of possible error codes are available here:

Other option to try:

PDF Creator http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18331&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=pdf+converter+navision+ara3n&start=45

Bullzip http://mibuso.com/blogs/ara3n/2008/08/01/save-nav-reports-to-pdf/

Note: This is one of many options. Amyuni is not free but I believe well worth it.

AX - How to use Map and MapEnumerator

Similar to Set class, Map class allows you to associate one value (the key) with another value. Both the key and value can be any valid X++ type, including objects. The types of the key and the value are specified in the declaration of the map. The way in which maps are implemented means that access to the values is very fast. Below is a sample code that sets and retrieves values from a map. static void checkItemNameAliasDuplicate(Args _args) { inventTable inventTable; Map map; MapEnumerator mapEnumerator; NameAlias nameAlias; int counter = 0; ; map = new Map(Types::String, Types::Integer); //store into map while select inventTable { nameAlias = inventTable.NameAlias; if (!map.exists(nameAlias)) { map.insert(nameAlias, 1); } else { map.insert(nameAlias, map.lookup(nameAlias) + 1); } } //retrieve fro

AX - How to use Set and SetEnumerator

The Set class is used for the storage and retrieval of data from a collection in which the values of the elements contained are unique and serve as the key values according to which the data is automatically ordered. You can create a set of primitive data types or complex data types such as a Class, Record or Container. Below is sample of a set of records. static void _Set(Args _args) {     CustTable       custTable;     Set             set = new Set(Types::Record);     SetEnumerator   setEnumerator;     ;     while select custTable     {         if (custTable && !set.in(custTable))         {             set.add(custTable);         }     }     if (!set.empty())     {         setEnumerator = set.getEnumerator();         setEnumerator.reset();         while (setEnumerator.moveNext())         {             custTable = setEnumerator.current();             info(strfmt("Customer: %1",custTable.AccountNum));         }     } } Common mistake when creating a set of recIds

Approve Workflow via email using template placeholders #Dyn365FO

Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations has placeholders which can be inserted into the instructions. Normally you would want this to show up in the email that is sent. One of the most useful ones is the URL link to the exact record that you are approving. In the workflow configurations use the placeholder and build up your message. Towards the end it has workflow specific ones. The URL token is %Workflow.Link to web% . For the technical people the token is replaced in this class WorkflowDocumentField. This is what I inserted into my email template. <BODY> subject: %subject% <BR> message: %message% <BR> company: %company% <BR> for: %for% <BR> </BODY> Should look like this. The final result looks like this. If you debug these are the place holders that are put together.
