[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Temp tables
Hi everyone once again Can someone tell me for temp tables in AX2009 are they for sure always created/stored and processed on the AOS server? Supposedly http://www.axaptapedia.com/Temporary_tables says the temp table is put on the hard disk of server or client based on where the first record is inserted. In AX2009 I assume all code is executed on the server but am not 100% . I am thinking the code in a form might well be executed on the client and hence my temp table end up on the client!??? My specific situation is to do with Arrival Overview form that populates some temp tables. Is there any way I can check or test where the temp table is being created? Thanks as ever James

Hi James, The company I work for (Microsoft partner for AX) has a division in China. Below is the info provided by my colleagues there: Microsoft certified AX 2009 for its China Localization for all the accounting rules requirements, in fact AX was certified since it was AX 4.0 back in 2006. MS China has a division sales organization developing extra localization pack through out the year and their price and value offering is very competitive in China. There is no need to integrate AX with local system other than POS. There are many successful installations in China for a number of years already including some large and small implementations. The best approach is to find a local China Partner to handle the local implementation due Language and culture issues. Our company NMB China is a division of NMB Solutions and it was established in 2006 and has a number of successful implementations. I can send you the contact details of my colleagues there if you want to give them a call.

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] AX2009 windows left not responding
Hi everyone we have strange behaviour in AX2009 SP1 + GLS + RU3 Sometimes it seems users get AX windows that stop responding. In the list of the available windows inside AX these windows no longer appear in the list but in the OS taskbar they are there and can be selected but nothing can be done with them (including moving them around) I can open new windows in AX and they appear and act normal Does anyone know any ideas why this is? If seems like these windows have been lost by the AOS and so not considered as part of the users AX client session anymore It seems like it happens more with users who are working on inventory journals but cannot confirm anything about that Has anyone else had this or have any ideas what to check on? Thanks James
[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Return Order type and RMA pains!!!!
Dear fellow AX suffers ;) I am writing to see if anyone else has struggled with the Return Order type and RMA in Sales and Purchase for AX2009. We have a customer with intercompany and found interco transactions using Return Order type has problems like Misc charges are not included on invoices I talked to someone else who also uses AX2009 and interco and they said they stopped using the Return Order type due to all the half done code/functions So we also decided to stop using Return Orders but it seems there is still some issues we face as follows: 1) Why does AX2009 fill in the RMA number on ALL sales orders it creates via interco!!!??? a. Even if the sales order is not a negative sales order it fills in the RMA! b. When a sales order is type 'Sales Order' (rather than 'Return Order') but RMA is filled in then: i. The sales order will NOT appear in Arrival Overview ii. Manual Arrival journal cannot be created for the sales order So just hoping to get anyone's experience and advice about changing the code so that: . RMA number on interco Sales Order is only filled in if we used the Return Order type Does anyone know of any good reason not to blank the RMA number on non 'Return Order' type sales orders? Thanks James

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Misc charges in intercompany
Hi everyone I wanted to check if I setup intercompany and put misc charges on the original document (e.g. Sales Order) then does AX require/force the misc charge to be created the same on the corresponding document? I wanted to do: 1) SO price 10 with misc charge of 10% (so 10.10) 2) PO created via intercompany with price of 10.10 (no misc charge) I thought this would be possible since I can control the price on both SO and PO does not have to be the same but it seems no matter what I try the misc charge on the original SO is ALWAYS created on the PO Thanks James

RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] New Fields on Purchase Tab of Inventory Posting Profiles
I think the bottom ones are referring to the 'revenue' side of the Purchase order. I did ask someone to test for me and they could not get the revenue ones to be any different to the top ones (stock ones)..even if did things like std cost, misc charge that is charged to vendor but not item. One I did not try is whether on the model group if you set the new field about making the incoming purchase to be as per std cost (but it is not std cost model) so maybe want to test it out with that So not sure if these are of use only in certain countries/configuration or just added to make it consistent with Sales order side (whereby maybe some finance ppl want 4 entries at purchase packing slip posting for some reason) and for sure I would like to know too Thanks James From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of george_spl Sent: 18 February 2010 12:31 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] New Fields on Purchase Tab of Inventory Posting Profiles Has anyone started to use new Fields on Purchase Tab of Inventory Posting Profiles : * Packing Slip Purchase * Packing Slip Purchase Offset * Packing Slip Tax Not to be confused with the other two fields at the top, * Packing Slip * Packing Slip Offset TIA George image001.jpgimage002.jpg
[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] AX access rights permission is done by object ID?
Hi everyone just wanted to check is the AX permissions having functionality linked to the AOT object ID? Example: Live appl report A has object ID 500 Test appl report A has object ID 600 If I take a copy of the live Db and put it into test will the permissions for report A be all correct? The reason I ask is it seems there are differences between the Live and Test permissions setup in our environment for some reason This is for Ax3.0 (although I don't think there has been any change in this area even in AX2009) Thanks James

There can be many issues so you need to provide as much detail as possible (server and SQL DB specs plus idea of the CPU/disk load when things hang. Also AX kernel and application versions).

Are there other situations where the it goes slow not related to doing anything in the AOT?

Just to update that what Navid talked about is KB 959598 and this is the one I was also referring to. Are you a partner? If so go get the article: https://mbs.microsoft.com/knowledgebase/kbdisplay.aspx?wtntzsmnwukntmmyxupyz qpouxnxspsymmtyvwnzmxqlwyxs If you are a customer go ask your partner to look it up and talk to you (sorry its confidential and so I cannot just give it to you or I may get in trouble with MS). Basically the solution is as per Navid said to change to temp table (AOT object usage is not logged any more - this usage data in theory is useful in an upgrade to help you know objects that have a conflict whether they are ever used by users - that's at least how I understand what it is used for) or apply a hotfix MS issued (is included in RU2) Let us know how things turn out Thanks James From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Navid Sent: 21 January 2010 21:19 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Re: Axapta gets hanged !!!

Coming to your question: I had a doubt that our customization could be a reason for hanging problem. To confirm that, I compiled few objets in AOT. Now I m clear that customization is no way related to this issue. Whatever operation we do in Ax, it goes hanging mode. As Mahmoud said, it might be because of SQL Server dynamic memory management problem since both test and production instances are using same the SQL server machine with different DBs and our OS is also x64.We are working on that. Meanwhile any other ideas or suggestion will be appreciated. Regards, Anitha.

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Logic for put away of items to locations
Can anyone help answer some WMS queries to save me basing my head on the wall. Using arrival journal if I want AX to pick the location to store an item what is the logic used when no Pallet transports are used. My understanding: 'Checking picking locations' field on arrival journal means check the picking location on the item's warehouse setup first. If there is space there then use that and put away logic considered complete. If not enough space then continue with the put away logic (see below). Enough space is calculated how (again bearing in mind not using pallets)? 'Check bulk locations' on arrival journal can only be used with pallet transports otherwise I get an error message. Does that mean put away to bulk locations can only be done when using pallet transports (what if I have a bulk location in my store zone will it be ignored when not using pallet?) Store zones - order of locations in warehouse to search (but does put away logic care about the type of location or just will take any location that is in the store zone?) So logic for put away is to search through all locations in store zone of the item and find first location that has enough space. If not enough space in one single location will AX suggest to split into 2 locations? If all locations in store zones full what will happen, will AX look in the items picking location? Look forward to some clarification Thanks James

hi James there are many system clasees available .. from which you can access
the objects in aot
For example
TreeNode classnode =
TreeNode::findNode(#SystemClassesPath+'\\'+classstr(xRecord));
TreeNode childnode = classnode.AOTfirstChild();
DictMethod dictMethod;
setprefix(classnode.treeNodeName());
while (childnode)
{
setprefix(childnode.treeNodeName());
dictMethod = new
DictMethod(UtilElementType::ClassInstanceMethod,classnum(xRecord),childnode.treeNodeName());
info(strfmt('%1', dictMethod.runMode()));
childnode = childnode.AOTnextSibling();
}
1. You can develop a recursive program, which will iterate thru each of Private
and sheraed projects.
2.copy the details of objects user modified date and time of the user into a
temporary table.
3. create a report and print them
Basically u need a class where u put ur business logic which will list the
objects in your project, 2nd u need a temporary table to store intermediate
info and a report to show up the results. hope it helps.

Good afternoon Can anyone advise if the GLS or Hotfix RU3 install exe files update the SYS layer? I read on the web site for SP1 (and also I thought for GLS or RU3 but cannot seem to find now) that it updates the SYS but not sure if that is just some incorrect information on the web site..see: https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/downloads/servicepacks/dynamicsax20 09sp1 Other key highlights in this service pack release include: * The SP1 installer updates both the SYS and GLS layers of the product. This means, for example, that if you already have GLS-TR installed on your system, SP1 will update this layer during the installation process. I assumed the above meant SYP or GLP was updated but now I am a little unsure because I always thought SYS was off limits to everyone and only a new version made changes but a binary file compare of a SYS aod from the install DVD compared to after GLS and RU3 being applied shows a different file size and content. Can this change in SYS aod be due to a full compile of the AX application?

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] RE: GLS or RU3 cahnges SYS or other system layers?
Sorry slight correction/edit to my earlier post. I found the original web page that got me really concerned (sorry it was not the SP1 web page but search partner source or customer source for Hotfix rollup 3 (974407) is available for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009) The below statement is what got me concerned: The rollup package contains both a cumulative kernel update and a cumulative application update. Although there is no dependency between these two updates, we recommend that you install both of the updates together. The rollup will be installed on the SYP layer and the GLP layer. Additionally, this rollup will update the SYS layer and the GLS layer that are installed on the system It clearly says here SYS and GLS will be updated!!! Any ideas why/what? So I think SP1 does not touch SYS or GLS (sorry for scaring anyone) but it would seem the RU3 does (I really don't understand why since XXP layers are supposed to be exactly for the reason of patching so why is there a need to change the original layer) Thanks James From: James Flavell [mailto:djf1...@gmail.com] Sent: 27 October 2009 16:36 To: 'Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com' Subject: GLS or RU3 cahnges SYS or other system layers?

Just to add the Non Thailand withholding tax can now get to work J But still the Thailand one has no result.does anyone know what supposedly is the difference for the Thailand one? Is it just that withholding tax is calculated per item rather than total invoice (hence can mix items that have or do not have withholding tax on same invoice)?

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] ANyway to consolidate intercompany sales invoices
Hi everyone, Has anyone played with attempting to get intercompany sales orders to be consolidated? In real life this is maybe one of the number one chances to use consolidation of orders into one invoice but it seems AX does not allow it (set as invoice account but never combines and when set as order then get error message that intercompany cannot be combined) ! I am guessing it is for technical reason as the linkage between the intercompany orders seems to be pretty tight and therefore consolidating would confuse the matter but I am still keen to know if there is any way this might be possible with some code change or work around of some kind Thanks James

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Split AR on a single Sales invoice posting
Hi everyone, Just wondering has anyone done a mod to split the AR transaction for a sales order invoice posting? I have the case whereby a sales order has several lines and each line might have a different salesrep and I would like to get separate AR transactions (CustTrans) for each sales rep so easy to compile a AR aging or statement per salesrep. I could make a customer account for each salesrep but this would then mean the SO has to be spilt into one per salesrep so this is not an ideal solution Wondering if it is fairly straight forward or not to do this kind of split (considering Dimensions can split the revenue part of the posting was wondering if something similiar can be done on the AR part) Look forward to hearing from anyone who has managed or attempted it Thanks James

I guess I could remove access to the standard forms for balance by dimension and make a new form that I can control it but for financial statement report its something I dont think I can easily replace (unless I do some OLAP or external report that can achieve the same matrix style formating as FS). Both of these are far from ideal :( Also anyone come across other places teh RLS will not work for inventory dimension or financial dimension since the plan would be to use it to filter data for a particular site?

What happens if it is linked to a fully settled issue transaction. In my mind, being fully or partially settled is not relevant for the question we are considering. If you adjust a receipt of inventory, it passes those adjustments on to issues of inventory. I think fully settled transactions become relevant when the close/recalc algorithm is setting up new links - any fully settled transactions would not be considered according to a flag. I am thinking of FIFO mainly as I think of this because it is simple, but the rationale can be extended to WEIGHTED AVERAGE as well. George

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] AX3.0 MRP strange result
Hi everyone We have a strange result with AX3.0 Sp5 MRP using Period coverage. When it is run 3 planned purchase orders are created but the first planned PO qty covers requirements way beyond 90 days, which should be in the later planned POs!!!. The second and third planned purchase orders only cover requirements within 90 day period (but do not contina the error requirements that somehow got put in the first planned PO) The strange thing is if after running the master planning if we go to the item / net req / update / master scheduling this updates the planned purchase orders to be correct (i.e. each planned PO only covers the requirements for 90 days) Has anyone come across anything similiar before...I vaguely remember Harry mentioning there are a number of bugs in master planning long ago but dont remember any specifics The settings for this item are: Leadtime 60 days Coverage: Period Coverage Period 90 days Neg days: 720 Postitive days: 720 Timefence: 720 days Thanks James
RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Tax Regulation error in IND LOC 4.0SP2
You get this if you are combining several orders (in version Ax3.0 you can also get this if you do adjustment and post only 1 PO but thats another story so I wont explain the work around for that since you are obivously not on that version) You should remove the tax adjustment on the PO and do posting, then in the posting screen do the adjustment there (I cannot remember but expect you need to press the Arrange button first before you do the tax adjustment) Not to sure why MS will not pick from each PO but guess maybe because you are combining several PO they want you to be sure and make the adjustment according to the final invoice amount rather than individual Thanks James _ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tushar Joshi Sent: 18 April 2009 15:26 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Tax Regulation error in IND LOC 4.0SP2 All, We are facing a problem at client's place while doing the invoicing for the Purchase orders.

RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Re: Loading Legacy History (Sales Invoices Vendor Invoices) to standard AX 2009
just to add to my original posting... the idea of loading historical invoices into the tables is just 2 tables custinvoicejour and custinvoicetrans. If you want info in any other tables then potentially direct load is maybe not what you want these 2 tables are enough to give you historical sales reports (which I assume is the main reason for having such data) but as mentioned wihtout cost unless you do a modification like I mentioned. To add I think the mod I suggested about the cost will work fine also in the std AX olap cubes (as they use the costvalue method) but of course for any OLAP cubes done outside of AX you would need to follow the same logic of checkign if inventtrans records or a value in the new historicalcost field _ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Subbu Sent: 15 April 2009 06:56 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Re: Loading Legacy History (Sales Invoices Vendor Invoices) to standard AX 2009 Hi Varden, He can use DoInsert() method absolutely no problem. but, how can he create SalesIds that link between SalesInvouceJour/SalesInvoiceLines tables. Trans tables have inventTransId which links to SalesLine And also, the story does not stop at just these tables. If the vendor has non po invoices, then he has to post in LedgerJournalTable/LedgerJournalTrans.

He has also look into ledgerJournalTable/Trans tables for Non PO/SO invoices and make sure that he has properly taken care of GL side postings. I am not sure if his customer would consider to maintain his whole SO/PO invoice history in a seperate company rather than the existing transactional company. Some people would prefer to maintain the history in a seperate company or ask them to use TARGIT or something similar. Just a thought.

Hi Michael, I have loaded sales and purchase invoice directly into the cust/vendinvoicejour and lines. The one thing to note is the cost is not available since this comes from inventtrans (which I did not bother to create). If the customer wants the cost (usually they will be willing to accept without if you tell them how much more it will cost) then either you have to create inventtrans records (possible either via code or via import data as SO and post invoices) or just modify so that there is a new field on the invoice lines called 'historical cost' and then modify the cost method on the lines such that if there is zero cost returned from inventtrans search then return the value in the historical cost (I have not done this but looked at doing it and it should be a nice and clean mod from what I saw of the code) All the best Let us know what you decide on Thanks James _ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Michael Franchino Sent: 14 April 2009 02:34 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Loading Legacy History (Sales Invoices Vendor Invoices) to standard AX 2009 I have 2 customers that wish to take their legacy history and load it into AX.

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] various common project module problems
Hi everyone, I think these are fairly common requests from customers who use the project module so wondering if anyone has already programmed something? 1) The user wants to invoice a deposit to the customer at the start of the project and then on the final invoice show total invoice amount minus deposit gives the final invoice amount. Using fee or onaccount usually we suggest to create a negative line for the deposit invoice on the same date as the final invoice but customers often want this to be automatic because if they are having to change or add deposit invoice amounts as the project progresses etc they must always remember to make such changes in the reverse transaction. Maybe someone has done a solution where the original deposit line is ticked as 'Reverse on final invoice' or something like that? 1B) If the deposit invoice is in foreign currency then the customer wants the reverse invoice to be at the same rate as the original deposit invoice. The customer does not want to use fixed rate on the whole project, rather only on the lines that are reversed. Can anyone tell me where is the code that sets the exchange rate for a project invoice? 2) Auto create fees or onaccount line based on percentage split of complete project amount The customer has fixed project terms such as 50% upon signing, 20% after 30 days, and then 20% on completion etc and wants to just apply these to the total project amount for the system to know how much to bill at each stage etc rather than the user manually calculate and possibly make mistakes.

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Fixed rate for onaccount lines in project invoicing
Hi everyone once again I have query as to whether anyone has done the following before: On Project OnAccount lines to have a field to specify the excahnge rate to use when posting invoice for that line. The reason is because we want to invoice a deposit invoice at a certain rate and then later at the final billing reverse this invoice. The problem is if it is foreign currency and in different months then the base amount reversed will not match the original. We do not want to set a fixed rate for all the onaccount lines just certain ones and when we do invocing we will only be invoicing one line at a time so there is no issue of mixed exchange rates on the same invoice I am guessing this might be easily done but not familiar with the project invoice posting so not sure where to start Thanks for any help or hints where to start looking James

RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Microsoft Support Question
Hi Subbu, To be honest I have to agree on the direct MS support/consultanting services...they really know nuts about AX (i.e. still a long way from being a mature AX team). In terms of the front line dev I think that is a different story but I dont believe you will get direct access to them unless your case ends up being very serious and potentially damaging to MS As for fixes in AOD file I agree it can be a nightmare getting specific objects but I can understand from MS point of view why they do it that way rather than individual xpos per hotfix. If you push MS they will attempt to get you the specific objects but it can take a long time and can be quite frustrating. The KB search function also is not great which does not help your own attempts. I would suggest for 60k USD per annum you can get a very good support agreement with a partner, its just a matter of finding the right one. Not sure why you dropped your partner but I believe you can get good value if you find the right partner Of course the partner will probably make use of MS in certain situations (kernel bugs etc) but for sure they should be able to respond much faster and with better understanding and detail in the majority of cases and have other avenues/contacts to use in searching for solutions for you From my experience with supporting customers (including remote support) a serious support agreement between customer and partner should be able to satisfy what you need but the focus of the agreement needs to be clear to both sides (e.g. is it to included technical as well as application and data etc) Since being a partner I am on the other side of the fence if you would like to chat on this topic feel free to look me up on skype djf1994 or send to my gmail Thanks James _ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Subbu Sent: 25 March 2009 06:11 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Microsoft Support Question Hi, I work for an end client who are using AX3.0. We were trying to get rid of partner and went direct with MS for AX support. For 'Customer' support, they are asking about 60K+USD/annum for 30 hours. Here are my thoughts. 1. MS is always tier1 support. I feel they are one of the dumbest people i ever come across...For example, vendor aging report. Pathetic.. 2. MS support sucks for AX4.0 because of DIS.AOD file. They will not tell us the objects in question for the fix rather they will give the whole AOD file which will have every fix. It takes ages to extract the fix for some of the critical issues 3. Honestly, they are bugs in the system. They should be not charging us for fixing their bugs... 4. Documentation on the issue sucks 5. KB article information on some of the bugs are horrible. 4. I know/dealt with almost all each and every object in axapta... Do you know if we really need to pay 60K for support from MS? It feels to me that a lot of money for the services we get from them. Are there any companies out there that they dont use MS support? I am interested to know... Appreciate any help. Kind regards, Subbu

RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Damn TopMargin property has a mind of its own!!!
Thanks Mary Ann, Your idea makes some kind of sense if you look at the report object like a word doc although the part about it automatically changing the value when I look at the object is not like what happens in word. I did notice that if I look at the object using PC with no printer setup I can see the original margin value (such as 0.00mm) but then when I look at it with the PC with printer it is 6.27mm if I go back and look with the PC with no printer then it is back at 0.00mm ... so there is not an actual saved changed happening (hence why there was no USR layer getting created)! The thing to be careful of is that if the object is exported then in the XPO file it takes the value at the time of export!!! So it could be 0.00mm or 6.27mm depending on the client used for the export. Of course when this xpo is imported to another system the value in the file is used and hence a 'saved' change occurs (this was part of the problem as teh dev work was done on a PC with no printer but then the export from dev was being done by a client with printers setup) Still have yet to get to the bottom of the problem so anyone else with any info or ideas please do let me know Thanks James _ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of MaryAnn Hand Sent: 16 March 2009 19:21 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Damn TopMargin property has a mind of its own!!! James, I would guess that it is feedback from the printer itself that forces margin settings. For example, in Word, if you set the margins to zero and then try to print to a printer than cannot print close to the paper edge, you get a pop up that says margins are being changed to some non-zero value. As mentioned, this is a guess on my part based on what I have observed in Word. So do not place a lot of confidence in my response. I am an AX developer and I do not see any hard-coding in AX that could be responsible for this behavior.

RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Damn TopMargin property has a mind of its own!!!
Thanks Malcom Tomorrow I plan to get to the bottom of this (at least know exactly when and what is changing...) Just to point out the margin is not being kept the same as the object in the orginal system AOT. If I export or import with a client PC that has a printer then the margin is going to end up getting set as a different value in the AOT object compared to the original AOT object. I feel the margin should not change because even if I setup a margin that is too small for the printer attached to the client doing the export/import this does not mean this will be the printer the user runs the actual report on and that is the exact problem I have whereby the user tested printing the report with no problem in a test system and then the customer exported and imported into the live and then all of a sudden the report no longer prints correct and of course the customer gets confused and frustrated because the only thing done is export and import etc Thanks James _ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Malcolm Burtt Sent: 17 March 2009 18:03 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Damn TopMargin property has a mind of its own!!! Hi James My guess is that AX is picking up the limits of the printable area that your printer supports and enforcing them in your design so that your report doesn't try and render data into a space that your printer can't actually print. Pretty much all printers have some degree of unprintable space on the page but its larger on some than on others. The fact that AX pulls this setting into the design in such a way that, when exported and imported into a system where the default printer has a smaller unprintable area, the margin from your printer is transferred just suggests to me that the assumption is that the report layout worked with that margin and that you'd want to keep that to ensure that the report matched what you saw on the original system. Something of a rambling answer, I know, but hopefully I got the point across.

RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Base currency Change
There is a currency conversion script in AX... tried it once in AX3.0 but not a success at all as had some bugs in the code (in the end the customer did not go ahead with teh conversion) Another customer we made a new company of just the master data and then did export of the still open transactions (onhand, AR/AP, ledger balances, sales and purchase orders) etc. Of course any MST field or exchange rate field we had to convert (I think we did in the export so user could check the data in excel before we reimported it) and posted them back into a new company using the journals. This is fairly clean but of course you dont keep the full history of the system and need to program such scripts for the export and import _ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:axapta-knowledge-vill...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of kkthadishetty Sent: 17 March 2009 15:31 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Base currency Change Hi Everybody, Is any body changed the companies base currency in DAX after having posted transactions and client dealing with multi currencies and updates the exchange rates monthly is it possible? if possible what are all the measure to take care for the posted transactions and open transactions... the best practices from microsoft say not to change the base currency after having transactionsin any quick ideas and suggestions... thanks in advance.. regards
[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] AX2009 on xp a good idea?
Just wondering if I want the full works of AX2009 (workflow, SSRS, EP etc) is it possible or wise to do it all on an XP machine or should I run W2003 as my OS?

But I'm not able to synchronize any new items on image even not able to refresh the already integrated project to project server.

The synchronization proxy account is setup synchronization service is also running. I'm able to see the items in synchronization service queue manager, but the transaction status is not changing from waiting to completed and nothing is happening after this step. I'm also running an empty batch job in AX before starting the transaction. I tried downloading the AX 2009 SP1 MS image and doing the same at there but not able to succeed there as well. The integration transaction is not completing getting the authorization error when I checked the windows application event viewer. Could anyone guide me on the same? Thanks in advance!!

RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] InventTrans
These are all linked to inventory closing (or adjustment) They get updated after closing has been run. Since your inventrtrans got split this usually happens when you do onhand (and also probably transction) adjustment. The system has to close of the qty it knows is settled to issues and then the rest it can apply the adjustment too. There is no issue with split inventtrrans in AX Play around with before and after recalc and closing to see.

This comes from the profiler file during inventory recalculation process, so less likely that I will change the standard code. I will only add index from the DTA's recommendation. I think we need to concern the column order as suggested by DTA because otherwise the index will not be used and only makes additional write overhead. So we can't do anything for this kind of suggestion, can we? Just FYI, I have a client who runs recalculation for long hours (20 + hours). The only possibility is to tune the index because disk configuration (RAID etc.) will not be change in the near future.
