[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Re: Axapta CRM vs Dynamics CRM

2009-04-15 Thread danfine
Hi Steeve,

We have implemented both AX CRM and MS CRM linked to AX.  There is one key 
advantage of MS CRM, and that is you can use it disconnected.  So, Sales folks 
can place orders remotely, not connected to the system.  Also, MS CRM is 
prettier, and works better with Outlook/Exchange.  However, AX CRM is totally 
integrated, which has its advantages.

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Re: Use of Mail merge in CRM

2009-03-22 Thread danfine
Hi, as I understand it, the Mail Merge does not actually create the document 
for you.  It creates the data that you can use in Word for the mail merge, and 
it makes a notation in CRM that you mailed that particular client.  It will not 
send out a custom mail with name and company and address with a template.  You 
have to use Word for this.

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Barcode scanner creating new line

2008-04-12 Thread danfine
We are trying to get AX to create a new line and enter the barcode 
from the scanner without having to touch the keyboard or mouse to 
enter another barcode.  This is the Pick List Registration Form. The 
idea is that a warehouse person will pick 20 of the same item for an 
order and needs to record the unique serial numbers. The problem is 
that AX wants us to select the LOT ID manually and we can't figure 
out how to automate that.

The form being referenced is Forms\InventPickingListRegistrate. There 
are two data sources being used for the grids: one for the header, 
and the other for the line items. What we are trying to do is capture 
when the new line command is run (I believe the bar code scanner 
inserts a value and runs a CTRL-N-like command), and override the 
parent class (super()?) so that we can capture the Lot ID for the 
just-entered line. For the demo, we would like to also copy in the 
previous Item Number and Delivery Date values. This way, we can show 
that items can be scanned without touching a keyboard.

Any help from an AX expert would be appreciated.

Actually, you track time through Shop Floor Control.  You can use it 
for tracking productive and non-productive time.  You can even tie it 
to barcoding.  The time tracking feature in Shop Floor Control can 
hit the Project modules if you are tracking projects.  Also, you can 
access this through the Enterprise Portal, so you don't have to pay

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] different address on check

2007-06-28 Thread danfine
In AX 4.0, we have a requirement to print a different address on the 
check (e.g. for lockbox address) then what is the primary address in 
the Vendor master.  So, we set up an alternate address with address 
type 'payment', however, the check still picks up the primary address.  
There seems to  be no way when printing the check to select an 
alternate address.
 
We've checked CustomerSource, various user group web sites, and emailed 
contacts. However, we still have no definitive answer about Axapta's 
capability for handling this requirement. Does anybody know how to do 
this?  Thanks.

2007-05-19 Thread danfine
I read your post on AIF.  It is vastly different than what was 
available before in Axapta.  We've been working with it successfully 
for our client.  You are correct, it has a learning curve and takes a 
lot of work.  My feelings are that most consultants are not suited 
for working on it.  We tasked AIF with one of our consultants that 
has development and SQL background.  It helps to understand XML and 
SQL integration.  Plus, he is certified in Integration Manager, which 
is similar type of product in Great Plains.

 Mike,
 
  
 
 AIF and EP are like night and day. AIF allows you to use web 
services and
 generate XML's to pass data between AX and other applications. The 
selling
 point is that the records are inserted into AX using AX business 
logic;
 meaning they are not inserted directly into DB with no validation. 
 
  
 
 Some issues with AIF. First of all the business connector in AX is 
not
 compatible with a 64-bit OS. Big Problem. You can run the process 
as 32 bit
 on 64 bit OS, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having 64 bit 
OS.
 
  
 
 Second AIF currently only allows you to insert a record. You can 
not update
 or delete a record using without some serious coding effort.
 
  
 
 Third AIF does not work out of the box. It involves a lot of coding,
 debugging, debugging!! Then some more debugging! I worked with a 
customer
 who tried getting AIF to work with two MBS partners, and MBS and 
after 4
 months they pulled the plug on AIF. 
 
  
 
 Let's be clear I am not bashing AIF; it has serious potential, but 
I think
 it is still early in its development cycle. Maybe by next release 
the bugs
 will be worked out and it will be a nice solution.
 
  
 
 If you are looking for a product that is similar to AIF, but allows 
more
 flexibility for inserting, updating, and deleting records send me 
an email.
 We have a solution via one of our partners out of DK.

[Axapta-Knowledge-Village] German Tax Forms

2007-05-03 Thread danfine
We are working at a German subsidary this week.  We moved them off the 
German layer in AX 3.0 and have put the server in the USA on AX 4.0 on 
the US layer.   After upgrading, the German tax forms are not printing 
right, the layout is not like it was in 3.0.  Legally, they have to be 
prepared in a certain way. Instead of printing everything in right rows 
columns and printing two pages, it is printing half a page and is not a 
format which is required by the tax authority here.  In configurations, 
Germany is selected for local functionality.  Is there a German tax 
form available, or how do we get this to print right?  Thank you.
