Hi Daniyal Kashif,

If qbr.value(strFmt('(%1 - %2) <= %3',

               fieldStr(HcmPersonProfessionalExperience, EndDate)  ,

               fieldStr(HcmPersonProfessionalExperience,StartDate), 5));

return records that have experience greater than 5 days maybe it makes sense to multiple 5 *365 to get experience greater than 5 years ?

Hi, 
I'm working on a shortlisting process for recruitment. For this the requirement states that applicants be filtered on number of experience. 
The input is number of experience required.
The query is applied on HcmPersonProfessionalExperience
Following is the query

query      =   new Query();
qbds       =   query.addDataSource(tableNum(HcmPersonProfessionalExperience));
qbr        =   qbds.addRange(fieldNum(HcmPersonProfessionalExperience,StartDate));

qbr.value(strFmt('(%1 - %2) <= %3',
                fieldStr(HcmPersonProfessionalExperience, EndDate)  ,
                fieldStr(HcmPersonProfessionalExperience,StartDate), 5));

queryRun   =   new QueryRun (query);

This is code I started with. But this filters on number of days.
I tried using SysQueryUtilRange::YearRange , DatetimeUtil::year and year functions but it did not work.

The EndDate and StartDate are transdate
My question: can I filter the query on number of years equal to the experience required.

General journals are typically used to record journal entries to the General ledger and Bank modules. The journal functionality is very powerful, allowing transactions to also be

posted in Accounts receivable, Accounts payable, Projects,and Fixed assets.

May I know which process in AX is involving this query?

Hi Anna Mu,

What about using table in SSRS and put Spec  in the first column and type  in the second?

Morning,

we had this issue recently and there are a few things which needs to be considered to have it working. 

1. Somehow we found code which doesen't do the volume calculation if creation of work log is turned on! Turn this off or change the code in: 

2. In the location directive you canno't use "Empty location with no incoming work" - seems to be removed due to perfomance reasons

3. Setup the Storage unit in the Location profile as well as the measurements (Choose either usable dimensions or volume) 

4. The system will do the calculation based on the storage unit of the Location profile. You can set this either on the Item (Physical Dimensions) or based on the Physical dimenion Group (Fast Tab Warehouse management in Released products) - Unit needs to be same as the one in the Location profile

5. In the background it will just add a simple query which is against the WHSLocationLoad - If this table is empty, run a consistency check in "System administration --> Periodic --> Database --> Consistency check - Select Warehouse management and only choose "Warehouse location loads consistency check" 

Hope this helps to get a start! 

Cheers

Hi,

  In ARSB(Aisle, rack, shelf, bin) architecture for warehouse locations, suppose i have a location where in i have kept an item. For example: A Pencil box. So now if there is space available to keep more pencil boxes in that location, how can system recognize it ? 

In simple my question is "How can we identify how much space is filled in a location and how much space is available ?" And in case the space is available then will the system suggest me for available place in a location so that we can place next item in same location ? How to configure this ? 

Thanks in advance !!

Finally got how to get inventDimId within the inventOnhandDP class.

InventOnhandNew inventOnhandNew; // new table having a field for inventDimId

InventDim inventDim;

inventDim = InventDim::findDim(_inventDim);

//above line will return inventDim against every record according to dimensions, now we can assign this inventDimId to any other buffer, like

inventOnhandNew.InventDimId = inventDim.inventDimId;

#HappyLearning

Hi everyone, Am new to Dynamics 365. I am working on report "InventOnhand". Actually I have duplicated the report along with its table and classes, and I added two new fields in a table. I want to show data for two new added fields but for that i need "inventDimId" against each record so that I can initialize new fields against each record. But the problem is _inventDim.inventDimId and _InventSum.inventDimId in RPD class returns an empty string in each iteration while populating "inventOnhandTmp" table. Can anybody have an idea how to get inventDimId in RDP class for this report? 

code is added and I highlighted that line which returns empty string. Its a method of RDP Class and has been called from "processReport" method. I tried different tricks but didn't get useful results. 

private void insertTmpTable(InventSum _inventSum, InventDim _inventDim)
{

InventIAvailability inventAvailability = InventAvailabilityProvider::findBySumDim(_inventSum, _inventDim).parmInventAvailability();

inventOnhandTmp.ItemId = _inventSum.ItemId;
inventOnhandTmp.Deducted = _inventSum.Deducted;
inventOnhandTmp.Ordered = inventAvailability.ordered();
inventOnhandTmp.PostedQty = _inventSum.PostedQty;
inventOnhandTmp.Received = _inventSum.Received;
inventOnhandTmp.AvailOrdered = inventAvailability.availTotal();
inventOnhandTmp.AvailPhysical = inventAvailability.availPhysical();
inventOnhandTmp.ReservOrdered = inventAvailability.reservOrdered();
inventOnhandTmp.ReservPhysical = inventAvailability.reservPhysical();
inventOnhandTmp.AWC_CompanyLogo = FormLetter::companyLogo();

inventOnhandTmp.AWC_InventDimId = _inventDim.inventDimId;


// Fields might not have been selected on the specified buffers, or might have been updated since selection
_inventDim.checkInvalidFieldAccess(false);

inventOnhandTmp.InventDimFieldsMap::initAllDimensionsFrom(_inventDim);
inventOnhandTmp.insert();
}

If you want a properly aligned table, why don't you use the Table control? It's there exactly for this purpose.

Finally got how to get InventDimId in inventOnhandDP class

//new table buffer having inventDimId field

InventOnhandNew inventOnhandNew;

//buffer for inventDim

InventDim inventDim;

//write below line in insertTmpTable method

inventDim = InventDim::findDim(_inventDim);

//now above line will return InventDim for each record having particular dimensions, we //can assign this inventDimId to new table buffer

inventOnhandNew.InventDimId = inventDim.inventDimId;

Do you realize that you would violate one of the most fundamental rules of database design, the first normal form?

It would cause many problems, because searching such a field is difficult, you can't index the components, you can't easily predict the size and so on. The right design is using a separate table with a separate for each value.

Yes Ludwig,

at other demo environment the program running well, not hang.

noted about type Ludwig.

Thank you

Hi all,

When someone compile product without have system administrator role, they take this error "The specified client configuration does not contain valid WCF settings" before this error like this error"you havent necessary permission"

Can i solve this problem dont give system administotar role these users?

Hi Lieu,

This might be related to the product details form. But I'm not quite sure. If you have (performance) issues with this query, you can enable SQL logging within the AX client for several users. Then the query together with usage will be available for analysis in the system administration menu. See also: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa582474.aspx

You can also use e.g. the Trace parser to find out what is happening.

Try to see if indexes are maintained on SQL server. If you have fragmented indexes, the queries will become very slow.

Thanks

Hi,

I Would like to get ledgerTable that have no transactions between date from and date to.

NB : LedgerTable record provide from from grid and with checkbok (form control not a teble field) i filter the grid and get ledgerTable without transactions.

Thanks

.. but you can use Microsoft Dynamics AX community forum for Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise Editon as well, if you set version to Microsoft Dynamics AX (current version) (as done in this particular thread, for example).

In fact, nobody was able to tell me what's the purpose of the Enterprise Edition forum (except of "there was a new name, so we created a new forum") and how users should decide where to put their questions about AX 7. Therefore I personally keep using this forum and ignore the "Enterprise edition" one.

I am primary working with Dynamics 365 for Operations and Finance. - old name AX7. 

Searching through the different Dynamics 365 forums there are. D365 Business Edition, D365 enterprise Edition and Dynamics AX. as well as the other Dynamics products,  D365 for Field Service, D365 for Talent,  What forum do we use to Post questions on d365 for Operations and Finance or the older version of d365 for Operations.  

Additionally, looking at the PowerBI apps there are D365 for Finance, D365 for Sales, for Financials - CRM, d365 Process Analyzer, MS Dynamics AX Financial Performance, Etc. How can I easily identify what is what. Currently I just open each app and look at the URL, I can tell what platform the apps are by looking at the URL and then the icon. I am having a hard time explain this to the BAs. 

Why don't you simply open the method in code editor and don't see it for yourself? If you're a developer, you should be able to understand the code.

Let me show it to you:

static SysTableLookup newParameters(TableId tableId, FormControl callingControl, boolean useLookupValue = true, AmbiguousReferenceResolver _referenceResolver = null)
    {
        SysTableLookup  sysTableLookup = SysTableLookup::construct();
        ;
        sysTableLookup.parmTableId(tableId);
        sysTableLookup.parmCallingControl(callingControl);
        sysTableLookup.parmUseLookupValue(useLookupValue);
        if (_referenceResolver)
        {
            sysTableLookup.referenceResolver = _referenceResolver;
        }
        else if (callingControl != null)
        {
            sysTableLookup.referenceResolver = FormControlAmbiguousReferenceResolver::useExistingOrCreate(callingControl);
        }

        return sysTableLookup;
    }

As you see, the method create a new instance of SysTableLookup (it's a so-called factory method) and set its properties based on parameters.
