In Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations we have to deploy changes to environments by creating deployable packages and installing these via Lifecycle Services (LCS). This usually works pretty well, but sometimes it can fail. While doing environment update and getting error in Step 25.  Database Sync error. You can resolve this issue by performing below steps: Open environment VM, Inside VM locate the below path. Locating DBSync DbSync (syncEngine.exe) will typically be located in the following directory under the service volume: \AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin Open Cmd in administartor mode and Run Command: Running DBSync Below is the template for the command to run a Full Sync. [ServiceDriveLetter]:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin\syncengine.exe -syncmode=”fullall” -metadatabinaries=”[ServiceDriveLetter]:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory” -connect=”Data Source=[Servername];Initial Catalog=[DatabaseName];Integrated Security=False;User ID=[];Password=[]” -verbosity=”Diagnostic” > DbSync.log 2> DbSync.err Replaced with below details: [ServiceDriveLetter] = G [ServerName] = customerServer [DatabaseName] = customerAxDb [UserName] = ________            // Typically: axdbadmin [Password] = ________ After run this command, go to below path. Open  DBSync file, you will see the Output of the DBSync. Once it’s successfully Sync. Retry the deployment then this issue will resolve. Hope this help!!

The Retail statement functionality in D365F&O is the process that puts everything together and makes sure transactions from POS flows into D365F&O HQ.   If you are using shift-based statements, a statement will be calculated when the shift is closed. Using shift-based closing can be tricky, but I highly recommend doing this! After the statement is calculated and there are no issues, the statement will be posted, and an invoiced sales order is created. 1. Manually create a new “blank” batch job 2. Click on “View Tasks”. 3. Add the following 4 classes: Class Name Task Description RetailCDXScheduleRunner Upload channel transaction(P-job) RetailTransactionSalesTransMark_Multi  Post inventory RetailEodStatementCalculateBatchScheduler Calculate statement RetailEodStatementPostBatchScheduler Post statement Here I choose to include upload of transactions, post inventory, calculate statement and post statement into a single batch-job. Click on each task, Under the general tab. Set ignore task failure to YES.  Do this process for all task in the job. And click on the “parameters” to set the parameters on each task, like what organization notes that should be included. Add this parameter to Post inventory, Calculate Statement, Post statement. On each batch task I also add conditions, so that the previous step needs to be completed before the batch-job starts on the next. Provide condition to Post inventory, Calculate Statement, Post statement according to there sequence. Click on recurrence and set the recurrence that when the statement done. The benefit of this is that when you are opening the statements workspace you mostly see statements where there are cash differences, or where the issues on master data. Now you will able to post statement automatically as per set time in recurrence. Hope this helps!

There are two ways to deploy the SSRS reports in D365 for finance and operation. The first choice would be to deploy the report directly from Visual Studio. Open the Build menu, click Deploy. Alternatively, in Solution Explorer, right-click the report project and then click Deploy. In Solution Explorer, right-click the report and then click Deploy Lastly, we can deploy the reports using PowerShell. Open Windows PowerShell in Admin mode and execute the below commands as per requirement. For deploying all SSRS reportsK:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Plugins\AxReportVmRoleStartupTask\DeployAllReportsToSSRS.ps1 -PackageInstallLocation “K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory” For deploying the specific reportK:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Plugins\AxReportVmRoleStartupTask\DeployAllReportsToSSRS.ps1 -Module ApplicationSuite -ReportName <ReportName> -PackageInstallLocation “K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory”(Replace <ReportName> with required report name such as RetailLabel.Report or *Retail* – this will deploy all reports containing ‘Retail’ in report name)

Introduction: Sales return order line registration in X++ Details:  Consider SalesReturnOrderRegisterLine is the table where records are with SalesLine referenced. If we are required to register serialized items than salesReturnOrderRegisterLine.inventSerialId will be considered and if item referred with batch then salesReturnOrderRegisterLine.inventBatchId will be considered. public static void inventoryRegistration(SalesId _salesId) { SalesReturnOrderRegisterLine salesReturnOrderRegisterLine; SalesLine salesLine; TmpInventTransWMS tmpInventTransWMS; InventTransWMS_Register inventTransWMS_Register; InventDim inventDim; InventTrans inventTrans; VendPackingSlipTrans vendPackingSlipTransLoc; InventTransOrigin inventTransOrigin; while select salesReturnOrderRegisterLine where salesReturnOrderRegisterLine.SalesId == _salesId { salesLine = SalesReturnOrderRegister::updateDispositionCode(salesReturnOrderRegisterLine.InventTransId); inventTransWMS_Register = InventTransWMS_Register::newStandard(tmpInventTransWMS); select firstonly inventTrans where inventTrans.StatusReceipt == StatusReceipt::Ordered exists join inventTransOrigin where inventTransOrigin.RecId == inventTrans.InventTransOrigin && inventTransOrigin.InventTransId == salesLine.InventTransId && inventTransOrigin.ReferenceId == _salesId; tmpInventTransWMS.clear(); tmpInventTransWMS.initFromInventTrans(inventTrans); tmpInventTransWMS.InventQty = salesReturnOrderRegisterLine.SalesQty; tmpInventTransWMS.LineNum = int642int(salesLine.LineNum); inventDim = salesLine.inventDim(); inventDim.inventSerialId = salesReturnOrderRegisterLine.inventSerialId; inventDim.inventBatchId = salesReturnOrderRegisterLine.inventBatchId; tmpInventTransWMS.InventDimId = InventDim::findOrCreate(inventDim).inventDimId; tmpInventTransWMS.ItemId = salesLine.ItemId; inventTransWMS_Register.writeTmpInventTransWMS(tmpInventTransWMS, inventTrans, InventDim::find(tmpInventTransWMS.InventDimId)); if (!inventTransWMS_Register.updateInvent(salesLine)) { throw error(“Error during sales return order registration”); } } } Consider SalesReturnOrderRegister is the class which has below static methods public static SalesLine updateDispositionCode(InventTransId _inventTransId) { SalesLine salesLine = SalesLine::findInventTransId(_inventTransId, true); ReturnDispositionCode returnDispositionCode; SalesReturnOrderRegister::runPreReturnOrderRegisterLine(salesLine); salesLine.ReturnDispositionCodeId = returnDispositionCode.DispositionCodeId; salesLine.update(); return salesLine; } public static void runPreReturnOrderRegisterLine(SalesLine _salesLine) { InventTransOriginId salesLineInventTransOriginId; InventTransOriginId reservationLineInventTransOriginId; SalesLine reservationLine; ReturnDispositionCode returnDispositionCode; if (_salesLine.ReturnStatus == ReturnStatusLine::Awaiting) { if (!_salesLine.ReturnAllowReservation && _salesLine.isStocked()) { SalesLine::changeReturnOrderType(_salesLine.InventTransId); _salesLine = SalesLine::findInventTransId(_salesLine.InventTransId, true); } select firstOnly returnDispositionCode where returnDispositionCode.DispositionAction == DispositionAction::Credit; _salesLine.ReturnDispositionCodeId = returnDispositionCode.DispositionCodeId; _salesLine.update(); } else if (_salesLine.ReturnStatus == ReturnStatusLine::Registered) { select forupdate firstonly reservationLine where reservationLine.InventRefTransId == _salesLine.InventTransId; if (reservationLine || _salesLine.qtyMarked()) { if ((_salesLine.returnDispositionCode().DispositionAction == DispositionAction::ReplaceScrap || _salesLine.returnDispositionCode().DispositionAction == DispositionAction::ReturnToCust || _salesLine.returnDispositionCode().DispositionAction == DispositionAction::Scrap)) { if (reservationLine.SalesQty == reservationLine.RemainSalesPhysical) { reservationLineInventTransOriginId = InventTransOriginSalesLine::findInventTransOriginId(reservationLine.DataAreaId, reservationLine.InventTransId); salesLineInventTransOriginId = InventTransOriginSalesLine::findInventTransOriginId(_salesLine.DataAreaId, _salesLine.InventTransId); InventTransOrigin::deleteMarking(salesLineInventTransOriginId, reservationLineInventTransOriginId, -_salesLine.QtyOrdered); reservationLine.delete(); } } else { throw error(“@SYS332911”); } } } } Thanks for reading and stay connected with us for more updates!!!

Introduction: In this blog, we will see how to create factbox of workflow history of purchase order in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Details:  Well, Factbox is a very pretty cool feature available from the earlier version AX 2012. It is very easy to achieve in Dynamics 365 as well.  Here we will see how easy it is and steps for that.    As shown in the above image, we will be going to create factbox for the “Tracking details list” Steps:  Create the solution in Visual Studio and project for that. We’ll be required four objects mainly that is one display MenuItem, Table, Form (on which to display factbox), another Form (factbox). Reference attached below: 1. Table For displaying workflow history, we need to create the extension of table WorkflowTrackingStatusTable and create the normal relation and its relevant properties as 2. Factbox Now we are required to create the factbox of workflow history. For that we will use the effortless technique, where we will duplicate the standard form “WorkflowStatus” and will name as CFSPurchTableWorkflowHistoryFactBox (give name as per your naming convention standards) After duplicating and renaming the form, we need to change the pattern as “custom” After applying the custom pattern, delete the NavigationList which is not required in factbox, and do visible false ActionPane and PanelTab After that create the new Grid and assign the data source to it in the property and put all the required fields to show in factbox 3. Display MenuItem We will attach the created factbox form to the display menu item and relevant label “Workflow history” 4. Base form Base form we call it as where we will attach the factbox. Here it is purchase form. Go to Parm section and create a new part and give it a relevant name and its properties Properties:  Data source: Attached data source with which workflow history is connected Data Source Relation: WorkflowTable.RelationName Name: Part name That’s it. Build the project and go the frontend and check the output how it looks like. Conclusion: It results as (we can scroll left and right to see all the tracking details list) Hurray, How pretty it looks like! In the above example, we have seen how we can develop factbox in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.   Thanks for reading and stay connected with us for more updates!!!

Introduction: From the version 10.0.10 Platform update 34, Microsoft has added a new feature Message::AddAction() which is shown in the message bar.  Details: Message API associated with display or action menu items, which is visualized as a hyperlink/link button.  It is linked with a single record at a time, called single action. In below taken example, we will show sales order is navigated to the form SalesTable from the message bar. For testing it, we’ll create the runnable class also know as job in AX 2012.  class CFSMessageAPI { public static void main(Args _args) { SalesTable salesTable = SalesTable::find(‘SH-000121′); MenuItemMessageAction actionData = new MenuItemMessageAction(); actionData.MenuItemName(menuItemDisplayStr(SalesTable)); actionData.TableName(tableStr(SalesTable)); actionData.RecId(salesTable.RecId); str jsonData = FormJsonSerializer::serializeClass(actionData); int64 messageId = Message::AddAction(MessageSeverity::Informational, “Sales order details”, salesTable.customerName(), MessageActionType::DisplayMenuItem, jsonData); } } Let’s see how it works,  In my case it’s showing Mitchell. Click on the link.  After clicking on the action link, it is navigated to the sales order record form as shown in the above link.  Hurray, How pretty feature is released !!! Conclusion: In above example, we have seen how Message API is routed to the record. Thanks for reading !!!

Introduction: In this blog, we will see how to set up email parameters and SMTP configuration for sending test mail from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. Details:  Go to the Email Parameters by follow this path: System administration -> Setup -> Email -> Email Parameter. Another easiest way to find the email parameter in a quick manner, go to the search box and simply write email parameter as below shown screenshot Steps:  1. In the configuration tab, set up the SMTP as in shown below image Move SMTP in the right box named with ENABLED to enable  2. In SMTP settings tab, configure the below stuff:      Outgoing mail server: smtp.office365.com     SMTP port number: 587     Username: put the email id from which email should be sent      Password: appropriate password of the email     Specify if SSL is required: true 3. In Test mail tab:      Email provider: SMTP     Send to: Put the email to whom test mail should be sent  In the final, click on the “Send test mail” and then sample mail will be sent to the respective email address.      Conclusion: In the above blog, we have seen how to set up SMTP configuration to test “send email” functionality from the email parameter form.  Thanks for reading !!!

Introduction: In this blog, we will see how we can enable/disable or change the visibility of the form control in interaction class. Standard behavior of the form, system does not allow us to write code on form which comes under form template -> List page It Seems like below attached image (Here we will consider form VendTableListPage. Property of form as shown below) Each ListPage form consisting with an interaction class as shown in property, Here it is VendTableListInteraction. Each interaction class has one override method which is selectionchanged() Solution:  Here we will override the method of selectionchanged() as below [ExtensionOf(classStr(VendTableListPageInteraction))] final class VendTableListPageInteractionCFSJSClass_Extension public void selectionChanged() { next selectionChanged(); //for visibility this.listPage().actionPaneControlVisible(formControlStr(VendTableListPage, ), false); //for enable/disable this.listPage().actionPaneControlEnabled(formControlStr(VendTableListPage, true); } For all other ListPage, we can go through interaction class. For reference, go through below mentioned classes: AgreementListPageInteraction BankDocumentTableListPageInteraction CatProcureOrderListPageInteraction CatVendorCatalogListPageInteraction CustBillOfExchEndorseListPageInteraction CustomsExportOrderListPageInteraction CustPDCListPageInteraction CustPDCSettleListPageInteraction CzCustAdvanceInvoiceListPageInteraction CzVendAdvanceInvoiceListPageInteraction EcoResCategoryHierarchyPageInteraction EcoResProductListPageInteraction EmplAdvTableListPageInteraction EntAssetObjectCalendarListPageInteraction EntAssetWorkOrderPurchaseListPageInteraction EntAssetWorkOrderPurchReqListPageInteraction EntAssetWorkOrderScheduleListPageInteraction EPRetailPickingListPageInteraction EPRetailStockCountListPageInteraction EximAuthorizationListPageInteraction EximDEPBListPageInteraction EximEPCGListPageInteraction GlobalAddBookListPageInteraction HcmCourseAttendeeListPageInteraction HcmWorkerAdvHoldTableListPageInteraction InventBatchJournalListPageInteraction InventDimListPageInteractionAdapter JmgProdStatusListPageInteraction JmgProjStatusListPageInteraction PCProductModelListPageInteraction PMFSeqReqRouteChangesListPageInteraction ProdBOMVendorListPageInteraction ProdRouteJobListPageInteraction ProdTableListPageInteraction ProjForecastListPageInteraction ProjInvoiceListPageInteraction ProjInvoiceProposalListPageInteraction ProjProjectContractsListPageInteraction ProjProjectsListPageInteraction projProjectTransListPageInteraction ProjUnpostedTransListPageInteraction PurchCORListPageInteraction PurchCORRejectsListPageInteraction PurchLineBackOrderListPageInteraction PurchReqTableListPageInteraction PurchRFQCaseTableListPageInteraction PurchRFQReplyTableListPageInteraction PurchRFQVendorListPageInteraction_PSN PurchRFQvendTableListPageInteraction PurchTableVersionListPageInteraction ReqTransActionListPageInteraction ReqTransFuturesListPageInteraction ReqTransListPageInteraction RetailOnlineChannelListPageInteraction RetailSPOnlineStoreListPageInteraction ReturnTableListPageInteraction SalesAgreementListPageInteraction SalesQuotationListPageInteraction SalesTableListPageInteraction SysListPageInteractionBase SysUserRequestListPageInteraction UserRequestExternalListPageInteraction UserRequestListPageInteraction VendEditInvoiceHeaderStagingListPageInteraction VendNotificationListPageInteraction VendPackingSlipJourListPageInteraction VendPDCListPageInteraction VendPDCSettleListPageInteraction VendProfileContactListPageInteraction VendPurchOrderJournalListPageInteraction VendRequestCategoryListPageInteraction VendRequestListPageInteraction VendRequestWorkerListPageInteraction VendTableListPageInteraction VendUnrealizedRevListPageInteraction Thanks for reading !!!
