ISV solution for maintenance [AX 2012]

Today I will talk about something I am passionate about and have been working on for the last 2 years. This is Daxeam.

The name Daxeam is a mash up of two words. DAX  for Dynamics AX and EAM for Enterprise asset management.

It is a maintenance solution built from the ground up on AX 2012. Which means we took full advantage of new tools and right way of developing.

It is Certified for Dynamics AX. You can find more detail on pinpoint and the Daxeam website.

Daxeam revolves around:

  • asset and keeping track of assets. Cost, meters, structures etc
  • work orders – budgeting hours and items. Capturing feedback. Workflow.
  • forecasting, scheduling and planning – Preventative maintenance. Detailed scheduling with capacity.
  • warranty and permits – triggers for warranties
  • …

Why am I writing this today you may ask? I am planning on blogging a little bit every week about Daxeam and the development methodology we used to build it (SCRUM).

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.

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: ...
