The “Item reference” in Dynamics 365 Electronic Reporting models has been an elusive concept for me for quite a long time. A reference creates a kind of a cross-link between the ER model parts, but what for? Now I think I have figured out some important use cases: Re-use structures and
Introduction It has been 5 years since I first described how to import credit card statements into Dynamics AX2012 Expense management module with zero customizations and zero middleware. The technology has changed a lot, the transport is now not through the AIF but the [unattended] bulk upload of packages aka Recurring
Following up the 1st part of this blog series, let’s elaborate on the standard model of subcontracting promoted by Microsofthttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/supply-chain/production-control/manage-subcontract-work-production Option 2: Subcontracting via Production order The semi-finished product (here: M0070) has a BOM of its own. It includes all materials but also a service item (M0070_SC) for the value added
Introduction A typical real-world scenario for subcontracting in discrete manufacturing looks like this: the local production needs a part at one of the steps which is procured from a 3rd party. This supplier aka subcontractor is provided with some materials for free (“free issue materials”) to perform the work. The free
In Dynamics AX2012 there used to be a development tool to quickly count the number of records in all DAX tables: Ctrl-Shift-W, then Tools / Number of records: This can be an interesting figure for data migration, measurement of the transaction volume, performance evaluation etc. A similar inquiry in Dynamics 365
This is kind of a recurring question: people have illusions about the Item requirements sales order type in Dynamics 365 for Finance and SCM. First of all, in connection with a Fixed-fee project in D365 you may only open an Item requirement sales order. In one of the D365 versions they
In the course of a Dynamics 365 for Finance / SCM (aka Operations aka Dynamics AX) implementation the sales department often asks for a quick sales order totals display, right in the sales order grid. A mature consultant instantly refuses with an argument a ‘display column’ is heavy on the database,
On the first attempt to connect to the Visual Studio Professional 2015’s Team Explorer on a brand new virtual development machine for Dynamics 365 for Finance many of us have been taken by surprize by the notorious “SplitterDistance must be between Panel1MinSize and Width – Panel2MinSize.” error message. The Internet has
The management of semi-finished goods in the Production control module in Dynamics 365 SCM is notoriously messy in conjunction with the WHS (warehouse management), see my blog Missing flushing principle. The challenge is posed by the system if the material flows on the production shop floor do not require license plate
