[development-axapta] simple report question
Dear all, I want to realize that a control field in a programmable section repeats 5 times on the first line of my report. To test this I created a simple programmable section containing the field ItemId. I send the item record from the fetch() method. Using a while loop in my fetch method and a counter I want the item to be printed 5 times on the first line of my report. I am not able to succeed, instead the item prints on five lines. Can someone explain me how I can realize this. Axapta 3.0 SP3. Danny Yahoo!

[development-axapta] Checkbox printShippingLabel
Dear all, I have added a new checkbox to the form SalesEditLines. CheckBox is named: printCertitificate, property AutoDeclaration = yes, AllowEdit = No, Skip = yes I made sure that several methods on the Class SalesFormLetter are modified: - ClassDeclaration: add printCertificate - initParameters: set value for printCertificate I added two new methods on the class: - posPrintCertificate: set position - printCertificate: return the value of printCertificate Made sure that methods on Form SalesEditLines are modified: - ClassDeclaration: add printCertificateChoice - closeOk: added parameter printCertificateChoice - rearrange: added parameter printCertificate.value - run: retrieve value printCertificateChoice from container - active() method on datasource SalesParmTable: added setting of checkbox value (printCertificate.value(printCertificateChoice) Now I notice when I select the checkbox it is deselected immediately afterwards. It has something to do with the setting of printCertificate from the beginning. When I set it to yes in the classFormLetter.dialog the opposite occurs. When I deselect the checkbox it is enabled. Can someone tell me what I am overlooking here? regards, Danny Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ADVERTISEMENT Yahoo!

[development-axapta] Default field from InventTable to Purchase Line
Dear all, I created a new field on the InventTable. This field has to be defaulted automatically to the PurchLine. It looks like I need to add the defaulting to the method initFromInventTable() on the Class PurchLineType. But I am not sure this is the correct place. I found out there is a modified() method on the datasource PurchLine Field ItemId in the form PurchTable, that is calling the method purchLine.itemIdChanged(). This method ulitmately calls the previously mentioned method. It is a bit strange to me that it is triggered by a method on a field. Why is it not in the node method on the datasource PurchLine? Can someone ensure this is the right spot to make the modification. regards, Danny Gaethofs Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ADVERTISEMENT Yahoo!

RE: [development-axapta] Default field from InventTable to Purchase Line
Thanks Girish, I understand what you mean. I have made the changes to the method I stated before. I have tested it for two cases: create po manually and from sales order. It works fine. In fact it should because the method InitFromInventTable is also on the table PurchLine and there calls the method I just modified. In a sense it is not quite developed conform best pratices in the standard but at least the method is on the PurchLine table. regards, Danny --- Girish Bhatkal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Danny, Suppose say you writing an job/class to create an Purchase order. If that method was not on the table then you would have ended up writing the same thing again in your job. This is not the only case, there could be many other instances where you would like to use that method. So it is very important to see where you are writing your code. If possible the method should be on the Table (which can be source for many functions) and if not possible then in the class and if it's not possible here then form and this depends on the situation. cheers, Girish _ From: Danny Gaethofs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 December 2004 14:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [development-axapta] Default field from InventTable to Purchase Line Dear Girish, What exactly do you mean to say with your last sentence? regards, Danny --- Girish Bhatkal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When you select the Item the it first calls the InitFromInventTable method on the PurchLine table.

Re: SV: [development-axapta] data import error
Jens, I am indeed loading definition groups. Doing the same on an 3.0SP2 environment is nog giving this problem. What is the difference between SP3 and SP2. How can I get this solved? I managed to get the definition groups loaded using the import functionality and not the wizard. Still when I load data using one of the import groups I am getting the message New tables are available, which have not been included in your group. I synchronized all tables again and recompiled the whole stuff after I noticed it was working well on SP2 and not SP3. New tables have been added to microsoft axapta and your group has not been updated. The strange thing here is that I got the definition group from another sp3 environment. When I run preview on the definition group or when I modify the definition group it is not making any difference. regards, Danny --- Jens Strandberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, You will experience this if you are trying to import tables, that are shared in your application.

RE: [development-axapta] Joining two customers into one
Thanks Preston, Jens, This confirms my thoughts. This way of working looks quite similar to what I did for another ERP application. But my approach there was more generic. Although I also had to deal with those kind of exceptions. My starting point is the EDT. I still see some problems there because there is not just one EDT if your converting address codes. CustAccount extends CusVendAc, which extends ExternalAccount. And ExternalAccount is the basis for VendAccount,... I will keep on going! I am getting there bit by bit. regards, Danny --- Preston A.

Re: RE : [development-axapta] Document SalesInvoice
Steeve, Thanks for the reply. It works the way you describe it, but I was trying to get it working with a section group. As part of a trainingsdocument I am writing about building reports and documents I am trying to understand the way these elements are used. Next to it I am modifying some docs at this moment. If I understand it well the Section Group is triggered / enabled for printing when the line element.send(SalesLine record) is coded into the fetch() method of the document. I assume (but can you confirm this) that when I do so I do not need to write a display method to get the value for the new field. regards, Danny --- Steeve Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The line is not printed because there's no element.send() that would trigger your SalesLine section. SectionGroup needs to be related to a table to know what record will trigger the section. It's not related to a dataSource of the report but to a table. So if your section group is related to SalesLine AND in the fetch there's code like : element.send(some_SalesLine_record) then your section would trigger. Here my suggestion: Section Group: CustInvoiceTrans Body:BodyCustInvoiceTrans Body:NewBody - Your new body YouNewField - Your new field that takes his data from a dataMethod.

[development-axapta] Document SalesInvoice
Dear all, ==+ I am trying to add an additional line that should print in the body of the invoice just below the order line data, item, qty, line amount. Where is the best place to add it? I have tried adding a section group, plus body in the body:BodyCustInvoiceTrans and in the body:BodyReference. When I print the confirmation in none of both cases the new fields are printed. Just an example of my structure. The field I used here is the sales order line status. This of course is not the field (fields) I am trying to add but only for simplicity. I created the following structure: Section Group: CustInvoiceTrans Body:BodyCustInvoiceTrans Methods Section Group: SalesTable ... all standard fields ... Section Group: SalesLine //this is my new section group Body:SalesLine Methods SalesOrderStatus Enum:SalesOrderStatus Now for some reason I seem not be able to capture the field is not printing below the line. Perhaps someone can explain why a section group should be related to a table. Can a section group be related to a table that is not in the datasource node? ==+ Can someone tell me how I can avoid that blank lines in an address field are printed on the document. Is there a method that enables me to strip blank lines from the field upon printing? Regards, Danny Gaethofs Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ADVERTISEMENT Yahoo!

[development-axapta] CustInvoiceTrans.lineNum versus SalesLine.lineNum
Dear all, I am trying to print some additional information on the invoice line. The information is not stored in the table CustInvoiceTrans but remains in the table SalesLine, at least for now. I created a display method that looks up the value. Example: The method contains the following select salesLine where salesLine.LineNum == custInvoiceTrans.LineNum salesLine.SalesId == custInvoiceTrans.SalesId; return salesLine.SalesStatus; To my surprise the display method is not finding the sales line. I figured out that the custInvoiceTrans record is populated in the method initFromSalesLine() on the table. This method sets the lineNum correctly. This method was called by initJournalLine(). But afterwards the method initJournalLine() on the class SalesFormLetter_Invoice calls the method setLinenum(sumByLineNum) where sumByLineNum starts with value 0 and is raised by one (sumByLineNum++) . Why is this done that way? How can I ensure that the correct record on the table SalesLine is retrieved in the display method. regards, Danny Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ADVERTISEMENT Yahoo!

Re: [development-axapta] SalesTable
Thanks Aji,
Thanks for the extensive reply. This completes my
analysis and enables me to perform the update and add
a my new document.
regards,
Danny
--- Aji Sarosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi Danny,
Container fed by checkIfUpdate is actually built in
method checkIfUpdate() in CLASS salesTableType,
where it calls method can...BeUpdated() (and
subsequently, method may...beUpdated()) to get
enable status. Method checkIfUpdate() in salesTable
simply calls method checkIfUpdate() in class
SalesTableType. Try to set a breakpoint on this
method, you'll get the idea.
Now I try to explain how you can enable the button
for your new (additional) document. From this
explanation you may grasp the mechanism applied in
standard Axapta.
if you want to attach a new (additional) document
update, there are things you have to prepare. Let's
say you want to add another document called pasca
invoice (whatever it is) to be posted, you'd
probably follow these steps:
1. Add a new element PascaInvoice in base enum
DocumentStatus
2. Duplicate menu item action
SalesFormLetter_Invoice then change the properties:
Name : SalesFormLetter_PascaInvoice
Label: Pasca invoice
EnumParameter: pascaInvoice
3. In the design form SalesTable, add menuItemButton
under MenuButton ButtonHeaderUpdate:
Name : buttonUpdatePascaInvoice
AutoDeclaration: Yes
MenuItemType: Action
MenuItemName: SalesFormLetter_PascaInvoice
DataSource: SalesTable
Up to this point, you might test it and find error
when you click menu 'Pasca Invoice'.
It's because your new DocumentStatus::PascaInvoice
has not been recognized by class
salesFormLetter. You must create a new class called
SalesFormLetter_PascaInvoice which extends
SalesFormLetter. The objective of this new class is
to process your document. Inside the static method
construct(...) of class SalesFormLetter, add a line
of code for your new class instantiation inside the
switch:
case DocumentStatus::PascaInvoice: return new
SalesFormLetter_PascaInvoice (getParmId);
I don't discuss the implementation inside your new
class, since it depends on your requirements and
time consuming as well. There are also some related
classes, tables, and other objects to consider. But
you can try to figure out the process by examining
similar classes such as SalesFormLetter_Invoice,
SalesFormLetter_PackingSlip, etc. Don't forget also
to look at the form SalesEditLine which is the
intermediate form opened before the document is
actually posted.
4. Now, modify class SalesTableType, add these new
methods:
boolean mayPascaInvoiceBeUpdated()
{
// let's say, it may only be updated if the
sales order status is invoiced
return (salesTable.salesStatus ==
SalesStatus::Invoiced);
}
boolean canPascaInvoiceBeUpdated()
{
boolean ok;
;
ok = this.mayPascaInvoiceBeUpdated();
if (ok)
{
// if it may be updated, what make it can't
// ... add your own validation here,
}
return ok;
}
client server static int posPascaInvoice()
{
return 8; // the highest index in standard is 7,
so just make it 8
}
// modify checkIfUpdate. remember this method is a
member of class SalesTableType
container checkIfUpdate()
{
container c;
.
.
.
// add this line
c = conIns(c, SalesTableType::posPascaInvoice(),
this.canPascaInvoiceBeUpdated());
return c;
}
5. Modify class SalesTableForm
void enableUpdateJournalButtons(SalesTable
_salesTable,
FormFunctionButtonControl buttonUpdateQuotation,
FormFunctionButtonControl
buttonUpdateConfirmation,
FormFunctionButtonControl buttonUpdatePickingList,
FormFunctionButtonControl
buttonUpdatePickingListRegistrate,
FormFunctionButtonControl buttonUpdatePackingSlip,
FormFunctionButtonControl buttonUpdateInvoice,
FormFunctionButtonControl
buttonUpdateProjectPackingSlip,
// add this
parameter
FormFunctionButtonControl buttonUpdatePascaInvoice
)
{
FormDataSource salesTable_ds;
SalesTable localSalesTable;
SalesTableType salesTableType;
container checkIfupdate;
.
.
// add this
boolean enablePascaInvoiceButton =
buttonUpdatePascaInvoice? false : true;
;
salesTable_ds = _salesTable.dataSource();
localSalesTable = salesTable_ds.getFirst(true);
if (localSalesTable)
{
while(localSalesTable)
{
if ((enableQuotationButton ==
true)
(enableConfirmationButton
== true)
(enablePickingListButton ==
true)
(enablePickingListRegistrateButton
== true)
(enablePackingSlipButton ==
true)
(enableInvoiceButton
== true)
(enableProjectPackingSlipButton ==

(enablePascaInvoiceButton

{
break;
}
.
.
.
if (!enablePascaInvoiceButton)
enablePascaInvoiceButton =
salesTableType.mayPascaInvoiceBeUpdated();
localSalesTable =
salesTable_ds.getNext();
}
}
else
{
// you might find that
_salesTable.checkIfUpdate() will actually call
method
// chekIfUpdate() in class salesTableType ...
// no wonder method may...BeUpdated() is called
as well
Re: [development-axapta] SalesTable
Thanks a lot Aji, Before I saw your answer I spent a lot of time on figuring all of this out. You confirm what I learned meanwhile. Nevertheless the thing I still do not catch is where the container checkIfupdate gets its values. During my analysis I did find the method checkIfUpdate() on the SalesTable but I do not understand how the container is build. The main reasons why I am asking this is because I want to add an extra document to it. I saw the whole stuff with the posQuotation method and the mayQuotationBeUpdated method. I noticed that when the method enableUpdateJournalButtons is run the else loop is executed. Whereas normally the method mayQuotationBeUpdated is called within the if loop I noticed that the statement checkIfupdate = _salesTable.checkIfUpdate() calls the mayQuotationBeUpdated also. That is where I am lost! How can this method build the container and how can it call the mayQuotationBeUpdated method. I would appreciate it if you could tell me how it is done. I have temporarily solved it by assigning the enable value for my new document hardcoded, setting it to true. But this is not the longterm solution. regards, Danny --- Aji Sarosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Danny, As you may see in salesTable form, there is a menu button labeled Posting to post sales order into: - quotation - confirmation - picking list - picking list registration - packing slip - invoice Method enableUpdateJournalButtons(...) is called to enable/disable those menu buttons (quotation, confirmation, etc) according to some criteria. For example, when you have a sales order with status 'delivered', the confirmation button will be disabled. Table method checkIfUpdate() is called inside the method to compose the list of enable status of each menu button. The implementation to build the container is actually done in method checkIfUpdate() of class SalesTableType. The enable status, which is a boolean value, is arranged in a structured order inside the container. There are 7 elements inside the container, that's why you get the value 7 which means 7 elements. Each element, in this case, consists of a boolean value with value 1 for enabled and 0 for disabled. element 1 for the activation status of quotation button element 2 for the activation status of confirmation button element 3 for the activation status of picking list button element 4 for the activation status of picking list registration button element 5 for the activation status of packing slip button element 6 for the activation status of invoice button element 7 for the activation status of project packing slip button To avoid hardcoding, the index of each element is accessed via static methods. For example SalesType::posQuotation() is used to get the index of quotation button status inside the container, which returns 1. SalesType::posConfirmation() returns 2, and so on. The following code show how one element of the container is constructed in method checkIfUpdate() of class SalesTableType: // method canQuotationBeUpdated() is used to determine whether the quotation button // can be enabled or not. the returned value is then inserted as the 1st element inside // container c. // imagine the code as: c = insert_into_container(c, 1, determine_and_get_status()) c = conIns(c, SalesTableType::posQuotation(), this.canQuotationBeUpdated()); // ... and so on If you debug the returned container of checkIfUpdate() method, you can see the values inside. For example: 7 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 It means, (in top-down order): quotation button: to be disabled confirmation button: to be disabled picking list button: to be enabled picking list registration button: to be enabled packing list button: to be enabled invoice button: to be enabled project packing slip button: to be disabled The following code is used to get the status of a button from the returned container: // get the status of quotation button from the 1st element of the container // imagine the code as: // enableQuotationButton = get_container_element(enable_status_container, 1); enableQuotationButton = conPeek(checkIfupdate, SalesTableType::posQuotation()); // and so on ... After the status is captured, then the button will be enabled/disabled by the following code: // if enableQuotationButton == 1, enable quotation button; otherwise disable buttonUpdateQuotation.enabled(enableQuotationButton); Hope this helps. -Aji Sarosa- dgaethofs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Can somebody tell me what exactly the method checkIfUpdate is doing on the tables SalesTable.

Re: [development-axapta] Override versus Overload
Jens,
Apparently overloading is not working, but the error message I get is questionable.
I Just created the following classes:
animal()
{
void talk()
{
print animal talk;
}
}
dog() extends animal
{
void talk(int z)
{
print dog talk;
}
}
Now I get the error message an overloaded function has an incorrect number of parameters.
It is because I added the parameter the method became overloaded.
So I think overloading is not possible. Maybe someone out there has an example that shows the opposite.

Danny

Normally in OOP there are these definitions

In an inherited class, you can override a method with the same number of
parameters, where the parameters must be of the same type as the ancestor.
Hence when you call the method, you don't see any difference in the method

I think Axapta even calls it overwrite
overload a method:
This is done in either one level or more levels of inheritance. It simply
means that you can have two or more methods with the same name. The methods

I do not think that its possible to overload in Axapta.

RE: [development-axapta] BOM Line Item Name
Oliver, Thanks I had noticed the DataMethod was there on the property sheet of the grid, but I was not able to find the method. I found it now, but still have a question about it. the method itemNameGrid activates the method itemName on the table BOM. This method returns the item name as follows: return InventTable::find(this.itemID).itemName(this.inventDim()); What I do not understand is how the name is assembled if a record entry exists in the inventDim table.

RE: [development-axapta] BOM Line Item Name
Dear all, The name in the bom lines is created by looking at the inventdim table, I do not know yet how, but afaik, the other problem I am having is the following: The records in the inventdim table are created the moment an item is added to the bom line having one of the inventory dimensions color, size or configuration activated. Under the condition that you can enter a dimension on the bom line. If you look into the inventdim table there is also a record that contains the value axapta and of which all the dimensions are blank, I noticed this record is used when bom lines do not have an item dimension. Am I correct? Yes I think so, at least some test show it. Now I noticed something is going wrong with the item name on the bom line under the following conditions. Suppose you create an item call it bike-bel and you give it a standard dimension group, no dimensions activated. Now you add this item to the bom of a bike. A record will be created into the inventdim table whereas the inventDimId is axapta, if it did not already exist. In the BOM a record for the bike-bel will be created and assigned the inventdimid axapta. Now get out of the bom and change the dimension group of the bike-bel into a color dimension group and add the colors. Now get into the bom of the bike again, and you will notice you have to add a color to the line bike-bell. When this happens an inventdim record is created, if it did not yet exist, and the inventdimid in the BOM table for the bike-bel line will be assigned the value of the inventdim table. But what I see is that the item name is not updated in the bom line. Next curiosity is that the inventdim table is not cleaned up the moment I delete the bike-bel line with a certain color. I believe this is because the inventdim table is used for several boms. But anyway it means that if you ever used a color value that you are no longer using a record will remain available in the inventdim table. Whether this is good or bad I can not judge now. This is on .Axapta Release 3.0 SP3. regards, Danny Oliver Mestdagh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Check out the DataMethod property of the StringEdit:ItemName field.

Re: [development-axapta] Auto creation of a Quotation line
Akash, I will give you one way you can accomplish this. Of course there will possibly be more alternatives. Override the run() method In the form's methods node (in other words create a run method) and add the following line after super() DATASOURCENAME_ds.create() Datasourcename is the name of the quotation table as you can find in the Data Sources node of the form. The letters _ds have to follow the data source name. This indicates the create() method will act on the data source. regards, Danny akash malohatra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I am a little newbie in Axapta.Please guide me in right direction.

The license code sales force automation is connected to the configuration key SmmCRM.What I have noticed is that the following elements have assigned this configuration key:- menu item smmEmailGroup- menu item smmEmailMembers- table smmEmailMembers- table smmEmailGroupsI also noticed that the button OpenEmailMembersForm on the form smmEmailGroups has no configuration key assigned.The form smmEmailMembers contains 4 data sources:- smmEmailMembers- ContactPerson- EmplTable- smmSalesUnitMembersNow the last table has been assigned the configuration key SmmSM (which relates to the license code Sales Management).Since you can not open the form smmEmailMembers standalone, requires a buffer to be initialized, I have been trying to find out whether there are besides the form smmEmailGroups, other forms that call it.Because this would perhaps explain how to add members from out of other areas in CRM.I have not found another form!My main questions - remarks now are: Is this a design error? Or was it meant to be this way?If it needs to be excluded for those not having the license code sales management, why is there no configuration key on the button.On the other hand if it should work when you do not have the license code sales management, why is the data source smmSalesUnitMembers part of the form or why does it have the license code sales management. Is there a way to have tables assigned different license codes and still use them as datasources on one form without causing problems?regards,Danny Gaethofs Yahoo!

[development-axapta] Query Configuration
Dear all,
I am trying to generate an overview of the configuration keys and their parents in the system. I am targetting at displaying which of the keys are enable and which are not.
I want to have the output exported to a fle or else printed.
I have 4 main questions:
1.Can someoneexplain me how Ican export the output or indicate whereI can find an example.
2. How can I print it?
3. The most difficult question I have is related to the Job I created.I have defined an Object parConfigurationKey based on the DictConfigurationKey. See below in the Job.
When I compile the job there are no errors. When I run the Job I get the error :
Error.
Error executing code: DictConfigurationKey object not initalized.
Stack trace:
\Classes\DictConfigurationKey\name
\Jobs\. line 39
What I am trying to accomplish is printing the name of the parentConfigurationKey for each ConfigurationKey.
4. I also need to built in somekind of a loop that prints the parents until it arrives at parent id 0. How can I does so, considering the above mentioned problems.
Regards,
Danny

RE: [development-axapta] Mutli-Country Implementation - Single Database
Mai-Britt, To make sure I have understoodit correctly I 1. When a new service pack is released are the DIS layers merged into the SYS layers? 2. When a new release is issued I understand that most of the DIS layer functionality will be merged into the SYS layer, but some functionality will have to be issued in a DIS layer by the respective country. That means there is some kind of a selection process of what will be merged into the SYS layer and what not. 3. Ifan error has been detected in a DIS layer, like thecontactpersonname example, should a country release a new DIS layer or issue a DIP layer. The question is also related to what should we install when we find a DIS, DIP SP1 and DIP SP2 layer. For example in case of the Dutch localizations. Do we have to install all of them or can we just sustain with the latest DIP layer. Last question I have is about the Russian DIS layer. If you look into a standard Axapta 3.0 version you do not see Russia below the country configuration keys. Nor is it available in the license information as one of the languages. Am I correct when I assume that the moment I have installed the Russian DIS layer these keys become available. Regards, Danny Gaethofs"Mai-Britt Winther (MICROSOFT BUSINESS SOLUTIONS)" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Danny For version 4.0 you will expect to find the vast majority of the DIS layers merged into the SYS layer. And as a new thing we are actually striving to deliver all layers at the same time that means there will not be a 3 months interval between the SYS release and the DIS layers release. I cannot promise you that this will happen for Service pack 3 as well, but I know that all our country offices are actually also trying to meet the service pack 3 release date as well. They are now in the development loop together with the rest of the development team. In the case of the contact person name field please check the fix list for service pack 2, because the change was actually made for CRM, as far as I remember. That case is unfortunately a classical example of unfortunate events because normally corrections like that should not be made in a service pack. However there were some problems that needed to be fixed. Normally all country offices do a walk through of the corrections for the service pack and test with their respective DIS layers in order to ensure that these things do not conflict with other DIS corrections that happens before fx. the service pack is critical test completed. If the country office finds some issues they release a newer DIS layer that will take care of the problems. When building a major release the development circle is long and very tedious. And there are many rules to apply by, however we need to build the whole version, and run a side track for the DIS layers, because some of the DIS layers functionality will have to either be changed or singled out as we develop along. As you all know Axapta strives towards generic design, meaning if a new taxation rule suddenly comes up in fx. Germany and the German office creates a temp. solution in a DIS layer to comply with the legal demand (of course they will try to provide the correct solution from the beginning allowing us just to plug it in later in the release), we will have to investigate what it takes to build it in with the standard taxation engine only separating it with a configuration key. You may probably not expect that all DIS layers will be merged to the SYS layer in 4.0 especially the Russian DIS layer is so huge that it actually has a size more or less the same as the standard application. It takes a very long time to investigate such a layer and split it apart in order to just plug it in. But all the other official DIS layers will be part of the 4.0 development circle. We have a separate team in development only focusing on global development localization. If you for any matter experience problems like the one you described please let the country office know in order for them to pass on that knowledge to the localization team and allowing us to fix it. Contrary of what people may think, we actually try to fix as much as we can but anyone working in developing a standard ERP solution will know that at some point in time the window for correcting and developing will be closed for a release in order to enter into stabilization and test.

For example I am trying to install the Belgian DIS layer on top of SP2 and I am getting errors on the field contactpersonname. Apparently a new field has been added to the CompanyInfo table. What happens if other countries implement the same field but for other purposes? Or do you have rules that prevent these kind of things.

Partners have to merge DIS-layers themselves (for which customersdo not want to pay), and MBS refuses to import these merged layers in a"customized" DIS-layer. Good strategy, because that way, they can sell an extra BUS-license on theback of the customer. If the customer does not want to buy it, the mergedlocal version mixes up with the tailor made software in the VAR-layer(making upgrades crazy)Moreover, when a new release or major comes out, it takes up to 3 monthsbefore all new DIS-layers are released.Now MBS is also merging DIS-layers, but they aren't usable if you have aninstallation with companies from more than country. The country specificfunctionality is linked to a configuration key. A configuration key can beswitched on or off for the whole application (i.e. for all companies). So,you should switch on all keys for all countries you have. In the code, theycheck if a configuration key is enabled to execute code. This implies thatin an installation with Belgian and Dutch functionality the functionalityfor both countries will be executed, and not one of them. Of course, this implies that modifications are still necessary, even iflayers have been integrated.Seems we still have a long way to go.Gert NeetesonneEDAN Business Software _ From: Mai-Britt Winther (MICROSOFT BUSINESS SOLUTIONS)[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: zaterdag 28 februari 2004 13:51To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: SV: [development-axapta] Mutli-Country Implementation - SingleDatabaseHi DannyMBS developement is for every major version merging existing DIS layers -however you will find that for example the Russian DIS layer is a trickylayer to merge, since that layer i huge.All other layers will try to keep their pieces of country specificfunctionality to a bare minimum thereby enabling us to easier merge thesepieces into a new version.Having written this - we have a team at MBS who is concentrating on mergingthese DIS layers into the next major release - in this case 4.0.

Most likely, there are country layers that have upgraded the database with new fields and even tables.In previous topics I read suggestions that the different country layers (DIS, DIP) should be merged. If however the database schemes are different between country layers merging the layers will results in greater inconsistencies. Having to investigate all the different layers to find out what is matching and what not, and thereafter perhaps applying all the differences to one base country layer becomes unfeasible.I recognize two possible situations.Situation 1If database schemes are identical, one could consider installing an application for each layer.Situation 2If database schemes are different, one will have to patch all the country layers into one big layer. Apply the database changes made by every country to the central database, validate all the country application layers, and hope all of it works.I have a few questions about the subject:1. Is there some kind of standardized development rule to avoid two or more countries apply similar - but not precise the same - database changes. Maybe by giving each country seperate ranges for naming tables, fields, etc... 2. What experiences do we have with inconsistencies between different country layers - especially database schemes.3. In case of situation 1 is there a way to use one central application. I am thinking about determing the country layer to
