Features of Dynamics D365 Finance and Operation and Axapta

Hello All, Welcome to my latest blog post where I will be sharing my insights on identifying tables impacted during business operations. Oftentimes, interviewers ask for a list of tables or classes involved in specific business operations, such as PO confirmation, receiving, or invoicing. Or there is the requirement to perform impact analyses on adding custom columns to standard tables. Although there might not be any straightforward approach to identifying the above points this blog will help you to an extent. This exercise comprises two stages. In the first stage, we trace the process from the front end, and in the second stage, we analyze the trace to identify the tables impacted.   To avoid unnecessary overheads in the trace, please note the following: 1.       Take the trace in the Dev machine where you are the only user logged in. 2.       Ensure there are no integrations or API calls being executed on the machine. 3...

 Hi All, Welcome to my latest blog post where I'll be discussing common challenges developers face when connecting their Dev VM to the Tier 2 Environment in D365. Typically, manually replacing specific tags in the web.config file can be a tedious and error-prone process. However, I have created a utility that automates this task, simplifying the process of connecting your Dev VM to the Tier 2 Environment. To get started, simply download the utility from the link provided in your Dev VM and follow the steps below. Click here to download the file Step-by-Step Instructions: Step 1: Generate database credentials from LCS, please don't hesitate to contact me through comments if you feel any difficulty to generate Database credentials. I'll be happy to address your concerns and may even create a separate blog post on the topic. It should be like the one below. Step 2: Download the utility executable file to your Development VM and double-click it to execute. Step 3: On the comman...

 Hello Friends, Welcome back to the final part i.e. Part 2 of the series. For those who have missed the first part please refer to the below link https://vikasaxaptandd365fno.blogspot.com/2022/12/create-cusotm-services-in-d365-f-and.html So let's start with the Testing !!! To test any Services/Data entity for D365 we are required to generate the Access Token. An access token is used the authenticate the user from Azure Active Directory. To make the authentication happen(i.e. Generate Access Token), we need to create a new App registration in the Azure portal. Follow the below steps to Create App Registration, add the same in D365 F&O and Connect using Postman.  1) Log in to Azure Portal https://portal.azure.com/#home 2) Search for App Registration 3) Create New App Registrations. 4) Provide some logical name for the App registration, Select "Supported Account Type" as required. Enter the URI and Click on the Register button. 5) New app will be registered...

Greetings, I am pleased to present to you my latest blog post on creating a custom web service in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and accessing it through Postman. This tutorial will be divided into two parts, in which we will discuss the steps required to create and expose web services to external systems using Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. In the first part, we will delve into the Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations platform and discuss the steps required to create web services. As an example scenario, we will consider a situation where a third-party system needs to retrieve information about a specific vendor, such as their name, vendor group, and balance, from D365 for a given legal entity. In the second part, we will introduce Postman and its usage in testing web services. This approach serves as a starting point for integrating a third-party system with Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. Kindly Note: This is one of the approaches to achieve the above requirem...

 Hello Friends, Welcome back to my new Blog. Here I will discuss the feature where you can copy the data from Excel to D365 F&O without any excel add-ins. Yes, you heard correctly without any Excel Add-in, OData, or Data management framework. This is possible because of the new feature provided by Microsoft, "New Grid Control." Before this feature was introduced, Whenever users entered any line in the Grid, they had to wait until the system loaded all its related information in the line. So, for example, when you add a new line to the Inventory counting journal line, As soon as you select the Item number, all the related information gets loaded in the grid line like name, cost, price, etc. However, until all the corresponding data is loaded, users are not allowed to move to another/new line. This process was quite time-consuming. With this feature, users can type ahead of the system and the user can keep adding new lines without waiting for the system to load all re...

Hello All, Welcome back to my new blog on Dynamics 365 Finance and Operation. Here we will discuss how to perform Mathematical operations in Dynamics 365 on the Numerical (Amount & Number) column. To increase the productivity of the end users and do the calculation quickly without using any additional app or calculator, Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O provide an option where user can start typing =3*3 in any numerical field and press the  " Tab"  key to move out of the field, the system will evaluate the expression and save a value of  9  for the field. In the below example, Enter =3*3 in the unit price column and press Tab . Once you press the tab to move out of the field, you can see the “ Magic ” J Below is the list of operations that can be performed, for example. Kindly Note: 1)      To make the system recognize a value as an expression, start the value with an equal sign ( = ).  2)      The for...
