Compile AOT Visual Studio Project changes the Report [AX 2012]

This is something to be aware of. If you compile the AOT visual studio projects node (AOT > Visual Studio Projects > Dynamics AX Model Projects), it modifies the SSRS report in the current layer you are in. This doesn’t happen if you do a full AOT compile. I picked it up because I wanted to compile my Shared project which contained the visual studio project node in it.

When you do an AOT compare nothing comes up but if you export it out to xpo. Then do a text compare, it looks like it has modified the DataSourceID element.

I have raised this with Microsoft and they have come back with this is a design feature (it is working as expected). So, keep in mind next time when including reports in your visual studio project. If you are not going to modify a report. Then don’t include it as part of your visual studio project.

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.

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())     {    ...

Purchase requisition – Price

The price fields on the purchase requisition are non-editable for catalogue items. It is expected that a trade agreement be created. The price fields are only editable for these conditions: Form is opened view AP -> Periodic -> Purchase Requisition -> All purchase requisition, or Line type is “Non-catalogue item”, or User is task owner. Ie. The task is assigned to the user. In other words he/she maybe the purchaser that gets the price. User is approval owner. Ie. The approval is assigned to the user. In other words he/she maybe the manager that approves the final requisition. For catalogue items on the purchase requisition line can only select between the vendor directly associated with the item and the cheapest vendor as found through the purchase price trade agreements. If another vendor is requested the vendor can be blanked and the user can enter a “Proposed vendor” in the proposed vendor field on the general tab page for the purchase requisition line.   NOTE: ...
