Lets have a look at creating a form. This is probably a little more exciting than the previous posts. As this is totally new to AX7.

Right click and Add > New

Select the Form object from the AX7 Artifacts

Initially it will show the pattern as unspecified. This is something we should always set if we expect our form to work across platforms (browsers). Otherwise we can set it to custom and it is free form. Which is a bit messy and unsupported.

Right click the Design and apply a pattern.

Once you have applied a pattern the bottom part of the form will show you the expected pattern. Now it is a matter of filling it up with the required control types.

Lets right click New > control we want to add.

Once you have added all your required controls.

Drag the table from the AOT to the Data Sources node. It should look something like this.

Now you can preview by clicking the tab.

Build your VS project. There should be no errors.

If you want to debug and run in a browser. Make sure to set the object as your Start Object.

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.

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.

Dynamics 365 Invoice Capture Feature

Microsoft recently released the new Invoice Capture for Dynamics 365 Finance. I ran through installing and configuring it.  From that experience, below is my brain dump and hopefully it can help with things that are not so obvious. Three type of invoice captures There are three invoice type paths that can be captured. These drive the screen layout and what kind of information is mandatory. PO invoice Header-only Cost invoice When an invoice comes in, you can select one of the three invoice types. Below are the three screen layouts and differences. PO invoice – Invoices of this type are associated with purchase orders. The purchase order details must be determined on each invoice line. Both the header and the lines must be reviewed in Invoice capture. This will create a pending vendor invoice. Header-only – Invoices of this type are associated with purchase orders. The purchase order field on the invoice header is a mandatory field. If the Automatically create invoice lines featur...
