As I’ve progressed as an AX developer, I’ve had to lean on many of the skills that I had from a former job as a C# developer where I used a lot of SQL queries. Working with data in X++ is similar until you try to write it like it would be written in SQL. […]

For the most part, the X++ language in Dynamics 365 for Operations is the same as it has always been. This is good news for all of us who have been active in the language for several years. Learning a new language is one thing we don’t need to worry about when moving to the […]

I was recently developing a new custom solution in Dynamics 365 for Operations. After adding a few new elements I noticed that they were just being added to the project solution and were not being categorized. I like having categorization, especially if there are a large number of elements in the solution. You can get […]

Recently I had to create database records outside of Dynamics AX. I used SQL to move some records from ISV tables to new standard tables within AX. There was a ton of data, so it was much faster to insert these records using SQL. Initially, I overlooked one important factor. When I created these records […]

NOTE: For this article, a vendor has been created with the account number of MyVendor, and an account name of MyVendor, Inc. There are times when you need to retrieve data out of Dynamics AX that will not allow you to write ‘while select…’ statements.  This is where you can create queries in Dynamics AX, […]

The security model in Dynamics 365 for Operations has not changed much from AX 2012.  In my opinion, the changes that have been made clarify the existing AX 2012 concepts and how you use them. Field level permissions in Dynamics 365 for Operations is one of the concepts that has been made clearer. In AX […]

Creating table static methods for some tables was straight forward prior to the release of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations (AX7), and arguably it still is if you are overlaying. Although this article is not intended to distinguish between over layering and extensions, I feel it is important enough to include some key points in this […]

While preparing a build from the client’s TFS central repository, I ran into this “static keyword” error: ‘Cannot add or remove static keyword for this method’. See TFS integration with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and automated scripts for build and deployment. In the TFS database, we were running a sync with force prior to creating […]

I was recently asked to add an Account Summary to the footer of a report in AX 2012, to look something like this: In my research, I came across a helpful class that allowed me to meet this requirement of calculating customer aging balances in X++ with a minimum of coding effort; the CustVendAgingStatistics class.
