How write a simple dialog for input In D365 Finance and Operations X++

September 1, 2024 by alirazazaidi

What a difference between RunBase and RunBaseBatch.

RunBase is used to create dialog. While runBaseBatch can be used to set dialog box as batch job.

Today I have a simple tip. that help you to create a input box to get values. this class will create a dialog box. You can use this to replace your runable class logic.

class RequestCopyJob extends RunBase
{
DialogField fieldInvoice;
DialogField fieldName;

// Variables to store user input

CustomerInvoiceId _InvoiceId;

// pack() and unpack() methods are used to load the last value from user
// for our simple example we are not going to use them.
public container pack()
{
return conNull();
}

public boolean unpack(container packedClass)
{
return true;
}

public Object dialog()
{
Dialog dialog = super();

// Set a title for dialog
dialog.caption( ‘Simple Dialog’);

// Add a new field to Dialog
fieldInvoice = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(DSACustomerInvoiceId), ‘Invoice’);

return dialog;
}

public boolean getFromDialog()
{
_InvoiceId = fieldInvoice.value();
return super();
}

public void run()
{
// Set Dialog field value to find CustTable

EInvoiceServiceRequests _EInvoiceServiceRequest;

select forupdate * from _EInvoiceServiceRequest where _EInvoiceServiceRequest.CustomerInvoiceId ==_InvoiceId;
ttsbegin;
_EInvoiceServiceRequest.ResponseStatus = ServiceStatus::SUCCESS;
_EInvoiceServiceRequest.update();
ttscommit;

}

public static void main(Args _args)
{
RequestCopyJob Job = new RequestCopyJob();
// Prompt the dialog, if user clicks in OK it returns true
if (Job.prompt())
{
Job.run();
}
}

}

Relation between PurchLine and PurchReqline Tables in Dynamics AX 2012 R3.

November 9, 2017 by alirazazaidi

In one of SSRS Report requirement, client wants to see Purchase order quantity, Invoice Quantity against items purchase requisition Quantity.

Instead of writing a query on ItemId and InventdimId, I found out of the box function In PurchReqLine table. This method return the reference of Purchline. With reference of Purchline, I can get Purchase order Number and get Item Invoiced quantity.

PurchLine       purchLine;

PurchReqLine reqline;

 

_purchLine = reqline.purchLine();

The relationship between Purchline and PurchReqline is RecId, Purchline contains the Reference RecId of PurchReqline.

PurchLine       purchLine;

 

if (this.PurchId && this.LineRefId)

{

select firstonly purchLine

where purchLine.PurchId           == this.PurchId    &&

purchLine.PurchReqLineRefId == this.LineRefId  &&

!purchLine.IsDeleted;

}

Select on InventSum vs InventOnHand Class Dynamics Ax 2012 R3.

August 22, 2017 by alirazazaidi

Today I face the very strange behavior of X++ code.

We develop customization. We generate transfer and issuance through X++.

Logic was very simple,If stock is available then transfer / Issuance or Adjustment journal create otherwise generate error message, We took this decision based of query on Inventsum. It works fine in most of cases but In one case when stock is zero it fails. We create Movement Journal to generate stock in that Item variant. The select query always return Zero stock in posted quantity. Even I get the recid in debug mode and placed in table explorer, Quantity is available in table explore.

This case occurs when got Zero stock in Inventsum table and we try to increase stock by movement journal, other wise select on InventSum works fine.

The query will be very similar

Select * from InventSum where Inventsum.ItemId == line.ItemId && inventSum.invetdimId == line.fromInventiDimId;

This will not work. Even Db synch, Inc Cil, Cache clear done, even Restart the Test server AOS.

I have to switch code from select query to Class InventOnhand. Very similar to following.

InventOnHand inventOnhand

InventDim InventDim;

InventDimParm inventDimParm;

inventDimParm.initFormInventDim(_Line.FromInventDimId);

inventOnHand = InventOnhand::newParameters(_line.Itemid,_line.FromInventDimId,inventDimParm);

If (inventOnHand.availPhysical() > _line.RequestedQty)

{

Info( ” Quantity Avalible “);

}

Else

{

Info (” Not available “);

}

Its works perfectly fine. I think InventonHand class is better the do direct query on Inventsum table.

Serial Number in Report Group SSRS Dynamics Ax 2012 R3.

July 3, 2017 by alirazazaidi

Today I have small tip. Let me share a scenario. Suppose you have to display Customer group as report level group and customer at detail level who did purchased products from your organization in given period of time.

Serial number on detail level can be achieved by RowNumber(“Scope Name”)

But serial number shown on Group level is tricky because RowNumber not works there. For example in above mention scenario, Client wants serial number on Customer Group instead of Customer at detail level.

I used following single line SSRS expression helps me to achieve this.

=Runningvalue(Fields!FieldName.Value,countdistinct,”Dataset1″)

Enum value to Table Insertion Dynamics Ax 2012 R3, D365 for operations

June 23, 2017 by alirazazaidi

Let me share you a small tip, During customization We extend out of box Enum for classification. Later client requirement is extensive usage of new Values for classification. For adding new values in enum results dependency on technical person . So we did customization and provide form and custom table so he can create number of values as he want. But now next challenge was, copy enum values and labels in Custom table, So He can use these value instead create again. I used following code snippet to copy data from Enum and insert into Custom table. Hopes this helps.

EnumId   enumId   = enumNum(LedgerPostingType);

DictEnum dictEnum = new DictEnum(enumId);

int      _NoOfValueInEnum = dictEnum.values();

int      counter;

CustomTable  _header;

delete_from _header;

for(counter = 0; counter < _NoOfValueInEnum; counter ++)

{

_header.ReportHeaderCode = dictEnum.index2Label(counter);

_header.Description = dictEnum.index2Label(counter);

_header.SortOrder=0;

_header.EnumValue = dictEnum.index2Value(counter);

_header.insert();

 

}

Custom lookup in reference group Dynamics Ax 2012

January 30, 2016 by alirazazaidi

Here is little tip regarding look up.
A few days ago, I have to take join with employee with my custom table. if you check that The primary key of HCMWORKER IS RecId.
So I have to create worker relation based on primary key i.e recid.\

But when I drop the foreign key on form Grid. It creates reference group. And surprising this create out of the box lookup with similar to same based on alternative key.

Now there is query appears that we have to filter it the workers of certain cariteria. for example you can certain designation or not terminate. now I face question how to add custom lookup in Reference group. Now there is no lookup function and same time if exists it will not work.
After searching I found referenceLookup method at data source field instead of grid text field. So Overwrite the method and similar code snippet creates the similar to out of the box lookup. You can extend it according to need.

public Common lookupReference(FormReferenceControl _formReferenceControl)
{

HcmWorker HcmWorker;
Query query = new Query();
QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDataSource;
QueryBuildRange queryBuildRange;

SysReferenceTableLookup sysTableLookup = SysReferenceTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(HcmWorker), _formReferenceControl, true);
;
sysTableLookup.addLookupField(fieldNum(HcmWorker, PersonnelNumber));
sysTableLookup.addLookupField(fieldNum(HcmWorker, Person));

queryBuildDataSource = query.addDataSource(tableNum(HcmWorker));

return sysTableLookup.performFormLookup();

}

Fatal exception performing AXRDCE transformation step. Dynamics Ax 2012 R3

December 2, 2014 by alirazazaidi

During development of SSRS report I got follow error,

“Fatal exception performing AXRDCE transformation step. The report cannot be rendered. Please contact your system administrator.”

and report stop working, It working perfectly write a few hours ago. The old trick works for me.

Comment all the code in processReport method of RDP class, by adding /* and */ at end.
Generate Incremental CIL.
Run the report. (Which will result in empty report).
Remove the /* at start of method and */.
Generate Incremental CIL.
Run the report, it works fine.
