In this blog we will learn how to create workflows in D365 finance and operation. For this blog we are taking example of Purchase order workflow. Which will allow us to create purchase order which is allocated to different persons for approval and review process. Navigate to Procurement and Sourcing >>Setup>>Procurement and Sourcing workflows, and click on new and select purchase order workflow as follows:- This will open workflow editor in you first need to provide log in details same as that of environment. Here we need to arrange various components and need to set their properties to resolve those following errors. Components for this of workflow: – Start: – To indicate start of workflow design. End:- To indicate end of workflow design. Review Purchase order:-This assign review(Complete/Return PO). Approve Purchase order:- This assign users who needs to approve purchase order.   To design workflow follow the steps :- Now In designer create design as shown in screenshot Set the Review element and right click and open properties and set as basic settings as follows:- In assignment make sure you have assigned type(in our case user) and user name You can also escalate roles after certain time as follows(we are not considering this setup for this blog) Now get back to approve purchase order and open its properties for and set automatic action as follows which will approve Purchase order below 10000 USD. Set the notification for person who will receive notification when particular operation is performed(for eg :- Approved/rejected etc) Now click on step 1 to enter in step 1 section and open its properties. First we are assigning user who will approve the purchase order as screenshot suggest as well as you can set time limit for approval and completion policy as well. You can also add the condition to step 1 which will decide whether to run this step or notNow close step and get back to main design of designer Now click on save and close and mention version notes and activate this workflow Now you can see new workflow in procurement and sourcing workflows Now create new purchase order and after that click on workflow button and click on submit you can also check history of it Now another user will complete the purchase order approval and mention comment. Now user with authority of approval will approve  from common>>Work Items assigned to me  

When we want to move customization done on specific model from one environment to other development environment we need to export and import the model file. Steps for model import and export using PowerShell :- Open PowerShell in administrator mode. Change directory to the path of package bin folder. Export command:-.\ModelUtil.exe -export -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -modelname=”name of model” -outputpath=path to store model after exportFor example: If model name is TOUpgradeModel and I want to store the model file to path is C:\Temp\ModelFile The command will be as follows: .\ModelUtil.exe -export -metadatastorepath=K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory -modelname=”TOUpgradeModel” -outputpath=C:\Temp\ModelFile Output file you can see on the specified path as Import Command :-.\ModelUtil.exe -import -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -file=the path from. axmodel to importFor example: .\ModelUtil.exe -import -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -file=C:\Temp\ModelFile\TOUpgradeModel-Cloudfront.axmodel ( Note : If model already exist in your environment, trying to import the same model you will     receive the error message of “Model already exist”. So, delete the existing model by command .\ModelUtil.exe -delete -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -modelname=” TOUpgradeModel ” try to import the model)

While  Exporting data using data entity in D365 FO sometimes the Data project fails to export data with error “Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0202009”.   While event log displays   – EventData  methodName DMFGenerateSSISPackage.generateFileDataV2() diagnosticsMessage System.Exception: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0202009 at Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.Tools.DMF.ServiceProxy.DmfEntitySharedTypesProxy.DoWork[T](Func`1 work) at Dynamics.AX.Application.DMFGenerateSSISPackage.`generateFileDataV2(DMFDefinitionGroupExecution _dmfDefinitionGroupExecution, String _defGroupName, DMFFileFormat _fileFormat, DMFDelimiter _rowDelimiter, DMFDelimiter _columnDelimiter, String _codePage, String _locale, NoYes _isFirstRowHeader, NoYes _unicode, String _source, String _textQualifier, DMFXMLStyle _style, String _rootElement, String _filePath, Map _entitySyncVersion, Int32 _previewCount, Boolean @_entitySyncVersion_IsDefaultSet, Boolean @_previewCount_IsDefaultSet) in xppSource://Source/ApplicationFoundation\AxClass_DMFGenerateSSISPackage.xpp:line 1273 In Such Cases, the reason behind this is some target fields is may be disabled or cause this problem. To resolve this problem, you need to perform the following steps :-   Refresh Entity List  Data Management>>Framework parameters>>Entity Setting And wait until all entities got refreshed Regenerate Mapping – Select data entity with the above issue (In our case Sales Order header v2 Entity)from data entities in data management. Click on Generate Mapping – Select “Yes” from generation warning Note:-You can try to disable/remove fields from the mapping until it starts working. This way you at least find out the problematic field. To be more effective, disable the first half of the field list. If the export works, the problem was in some of the disabled fields. I hope this will help you.

Introduction: I faced an issue recently where I was trying to print a report directly to printer but Print Management Settings didn’t show any Printers option. In AX 2012 we had to perform setup in AX 2012 Server Configuration to print documents or report to connected printers. In Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise Edition you need to install and setup Document Routing Agent in your system and activate Network Printers in D3FOE for printing. Steps: Install Document Routing Agent. Setup Printers in Document Routing Agent. Manage Network Printers in D3FOE. 1. Install Document Routing Agent. Go to Organization Administrator -> Setup -> Network Printers In Action Pane, Go to Application -> Download document routing agent installer Install downloaded setup file ‘DocumentRoutingAgentSetup’. 2. Setup Printers in Document Routing Agent. Go to Settings and enter details. Click OK. Application Id – Unique Appication Id. It  is filled automatically. Dynamics 365 URL – URL of D3FOE Azure AD Tenant – Domain name of Azure Active Directory Run as Windows Service – This will configure agent as a windows service. If you want to print custom size reports then agent should be desktop app as it sends report to Printers with help of Adobe Reader instead of sending it to Target folder. Agent as service will send it to Target folder. Sign In with your logic credentials. Go to Printers. You can see the installed Printers on your device. Select the Printers you want to enable for printing in Operations. 3. Manage Network Printers in D3FOE. Go to Organization Administrator -> Setup -> Network Printers. You will see the list of Printers enabled on Document Routing Agent. Enable the printers by setting Yes for Active field. Conclusion: Once the setup is completed you can use the Network Printers from Print Destination – Printers option. Agent once installed on one machine and enabled as Network Printers can be used by anyone using the D365 Operations.
