Introduction: Dynamics 365 has two different type of form one is classic and other one is UCI. Now sometimes we want certain field to be visible on UCI and some on classic form. Description: We had a requirement where we wanted to show certain field on UCI, but it should be hidden on classic form. For example, signature field is not supported on classic form in Brower, but it works on UCI and tablet version. Here we wanted to hide the signature field on browser and it should work as it is in the UCI. Here is the code. We need to call this script on onload of the form function hideFieldonOrderWeb(executionContext) { debugger; var clientContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().client; var device = clientContext.getFormFactor(); var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var isUCIForm = isUCI(); if (isUCIForm == false && device == 1) { formContext.getControl(“cf_signature”).setVisible(false); } else { formContext.getControl(“cf_signature”).setVisible(true); } } function isUCI() { var globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext(); var appURL = globalContext.getCurrentAppUrl(); var ClientURL = globalContext.getClientUrl(); if (appURL !== ClientURL) { return true; } return false; } Explanation: We are checking form type and we are getting value as 1 which is same for both web and UCI. So we additionally need to check app type by using the code isUCI(). Value Form Factor 0 Unknown 1 Desktop 2 Tablet 3 Phone By this way you can hide the control. On UCI – Signature is visible On browser – Signature field is hidden

Introduction: Item Cross reference is useful to quickly identify the items that were ordered by a customer or that you are purchasing from a vendor on the basis of item numbers other than your company. You can use Item Cross reference on Purchase Order, Sales Order, Purchase Quote and Sales Quote Steps: Following are steps to setup Item cross reference. Open the Item list Click on edit button to Open Item Card. In Navigate tab click on Cross References button. Select Vendor, Customer or Bar Code in the Cross-Reference field. In the Cross-Reference Type No. field, select Vendor No, Customer No. or Bar Code Enter Vendor, Customer Item No. or Bar code no in the Cross-Reference No. field. Enter Unit of Measure Enter description for the Item. This description will be automatically copied in Purchase or Sales order line when you enter cross reference in Sales or Purchase order line Create a new Purchase Order/ Sales order. By default, the Cross-Reference No. field is not shown in the Order Line. Use Personalization and add it. In Cross-Reference No. field to select a cross reference no. System will automatically fill the Item No. and other information in the order line.

Introduction: Work Hours mentioned under a User/Bookable Resource aren’t the same as they show. Ever wondered what is Cross Day on Work Hours for a Bookable Resources in Dynamics 365 PSA or Field Service? Or even User record for that matter? And why not the actual Work Hours a resource is set to? You should see this – instead of this – Reasoning: So, The Bookable Resource’s time zone is GMT. And so is the same time zone of the logged in user i.e. GMT. In that case, you’ll see the actual time set for the user i.e. 8am to 5pm. But, let’s say, you are in a different time zone – Sydney, for example. And you are viewing Work Hours for a Bookable Resource who was set in some other time zone, their time conversion to your time will result in “crossing the day” over and hence, you see “Cross Day”.

Scenario: We had created the custom Business Process Flow on order entity which was visible on web client but not in UCI. For making it visible in UCI we must add that Business Process Flow in App. Steps: Create new solution and add Existing App which you are using in that solution. Add Custom Business Process Flow in App. Validate Save and Close. Publish All Customization.

Introduction: In this blog we will use MS Flows to send out Surveys to customers once the Status Reason on the case is “Problem Resolved”. Implementation: Step 1: Below shown is the configuration of the flow. The flow is triggered once the Status Reason field in the case is changed. The statuscode is 5 which means “Problem Solved”. If problem is solved then we send a Survey form to the customer. Step 2: We then send an email to the customer as shown below We can also use the dynamic value by entering the “To” email id same as the one present on the Case. survey link details are mentioned in Step 3. Step 3: We have created a simple Survey using TypeForm once this is done a link will be created and the same can be entered in the Send email step. Then we add a step as shown below which will wait for the response . Firstly we sign in using own TypeForm account details and then Select the Survey from the dropdown and fill in the details as shown below. Once the response is received we have added a step to update the User details who was working on the case. We can create a custom field to store the responses received from the TypeForm step. Conclusion: This is useful to as we can improve customer service by easily by using MS Flows. We can also use Microsoft Forms, SurveyMonkey to create surveys and get responses

Introduction: A “shared shift” configuration lets retailers have a single shift across multiple registers, cash drawers, and users. A shared shift has a single starting amount and a single closing amount that are summarized across all cash drawers. Shared shifts are most typical when mobile devices are used. In this scenario, a separate cash drawer isn’t reserved for each register. Instead, all registers can share one cash drawer. Note: Before using shared shift make sure that all the existing shifts at all the POS terminals of the store are closed. Steps: Login with user id at the main MPOS terminal. Open a new shift Now login at all the other terminals of the store Select the option: Resume an Existing Shift Perform Sales and other functions on all the devices End of the day before closingthe shifts Make sure that all the users have logged off from the other terminals except Main MPOS. On the Main POS: Close the shift. Conclusion: Using Shared shift all the transactions done across the store would be captured under one shift. At one particular time only one shift can be shared.

Introduction: In this blog article, we will see how we can fetch Form Control and its value which is of different datatype in EventHandler in D365 Operations Scenario: I am working on Global Address Book functionality for checking Duplicate values for PartyID (String), Tax Id (CheckBox) and Tax Id Type (ComboBox). I am using Event Handler of form method to enable a button based on value of above three fields. Steps: Create Event Handler with below code: [PostHandlerFor(formStr(DirPartyCheckDuplicate), formMethodStr(DirPartyCheckDuplicate, enableSearch))] public static void DirPartyCheckDuplicate_Post_enableSearch(XppPrePostArgs args) { FormRun formRun = args.getThis() as FormRun; FormCheckBoxControl TaxId = formRun.design(0).controlName(“TaxId”) as FormCheckBoxControl; FormStringControl PartyNumber = formRun.design(0).controlName(“DirPartyTable_PartyNumber”) as FormStringControl; FormComboBoxControl TaxIdType = formRun.design(0).controlName(“TaxIdType”) as FormComboBoxControl; FormControl searchBtn = formRun.design(0).controlName(“searchBtn”); if(TaxId.value() || PartyNumber.valueStr() || TaxIdType.valueStr()) { searchBtn.enabled(true); } else { searchBtn.enabled(false); } }

Introduction: In this blog we will discuss how we can solve XML issue while importing solution from one environment to other. Scenario and Steps: 1. Deploying a solution from one environment to other causing issues below issue. This error occurs when there are some integrations enabled for your entity. 2. Click on “Help me resolve this issue” and a Dialog will be opened which shows the specific error. As you can see element “IsMSTeamsIntegrationEnabled” is present in the solution which is not present in target solution. Thus we will remove this element from XML and import the solution. 3. To remove the element from XML follow the below steps: Extract the solution you want to import. Open customizations.xml file. Remove “isMSTeamsIntegartionEnabled” element from XML and save the XML. Zip all the files and import the solution to your environment. Your solution will be imported to the targeted environment.

Problem Statement: D365 Sales on CRM in general has ability to revise Quotes to track the Quotes revision. In sales, the process was to Activate the Quote, and then you get option to Revise Quote which will create the Copy of Quote with new revision number in Draft state.
