Product configuration in D365FO must happen through the user interface, as the product configuration form is the only piece of code that communicates with the solver, wrapped in a dll outside D365. The communication happens through JavaScript of a designated form control. This is not great if you want...

Sometime last year, I posted about using Business Events with Data Export . The code was shared on Github too. Now, I have updated to introduce a Data Import Business event. This is helpful for a number of scenarios (specially for integration). Long running jobs - you don’t want to constantly call Odata services to get the status of your execution job Trigger data execution alerts for integration - you could trigger alerts…

Microsoft was kind enough to supply us with a HoloLens 2 in order to get out and show it to our customers.  This happened about 8 weeks ago – haven’t had a lot of opportunities to showcase the technology, obviously.  Instead, we thought we’d do a little blog post showing off the 2 devices and talking through the user experience a bit. Cases HoloLens (front) and HoloLens 2 (back) cases – side by side The cases are…

Hi Friends. I hope you all are hanging in there and can still work and deliver excellent experiences with Dynamics 365. I wanted to share my Covid-19 10-day response story on how fast a reduced scope Dynamics 365 implementations has been made available. Some weeks ago, we and Microsoft were contacted...

To import images in D365 can be a bit tricky, if not painstaking. If you look at the previous post for Exporting Images , we had downloaded a package which contained an excel file and a folder with the images. It also included 2 xml files. Importing data will pretty much be done the same way using...

With Data management in Dynamics 365 Finance (and maybe operations) you can export images the same way you export other data. The images are exported as files, however,, they are stored in a GUID name and you have to link this on. Create an Export type Data management project Add your entities that...

FormObservableLink class is useful for refreshing display and edit methods in D365FO. You create an instance variable of FormObservableLink type in a form, initialize it and call its observe() method in display/edit methods that you need to refresh on demand. When the refresh is required, you call markChanged...

I recently ran into an unfortunate limitation of .NET Interop from X++ (in D365FO). I wanted to check if an X++ object is of a given type, nevertheless the type used for the variable declaration was a .NET interface. Here is an example: using Microsoft. Dynamics . ApplicationSuite . FinancialManagement ...

In 2018, I wrote the blog post Throwing managed exceptions from X++ in D365FO , where I pondered upon how throwing proper exceptions objects in X++ would be beneficial. This is still true. I also showed a proof of concept how it can be done despite the fact that X++ doesn’t directly support it. But this...

Option 1: OOTB option: http://myorganization.dynamics.com/data/$metadata#DataEntities Navigate to the URL and get the list of entities. They include the definitions, but then that means Option 2: Install the chrome addin : Table Browser Caller for D365FO This outputs the entities in a tabular form – extremely...

Recently, Microsoft released their eCommerce solution. I got started by looking at how to do a bit of development locally. The guide is here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/commerce/e-commerce-extensibility/setup-dev-environment One of the first steps to development is to clone Microsoft github repo . That's fairly easy to do. But, the next question I had was, “how do I do my development in my own private…

I recently created a solution where I’m importing products and all related data for the grocery industry, and I wanted to share my experience so that others may follow. This is not a “Copy-Paste” blogpost, but more show my approach to the process that can be used when working with more advanced and...

If you are in the Dynamics space, you probably know the investments Microsoft has been making in Common Data Service (Aka CDS) platform. All business applications under the Dynamics 365 umbrella are connected to a CDS environment by default and they make data available directly CDS in real time, except...

So you added a new table / field via D365 Finops and synchronised the database. To get the intellisense to pick those new objects you might be restarting SSMS ? Instead you could just be refreshing the intellisense OR in other words Refresh intellisense’s local cache Create a new query...
