Dimension (Field Value) Search Utility in Dynamics Ax

Source: http://paruvellas.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/dimension-field-value-search-utility-in-dynamics-ax/

In recent days, I got a specific requirement…
At our place, finance controller has decided to close one dimension value and need to replace the same with new dimension value.

To support this, we need to update all the transactions which have old dimension value, to new one.

Assume all the transactions, which are created Dimension [10] – Business unit with value 201, need to update as 203

static void ininspar_Dimension201_Update_Alltables(Args _args)
{
     TreeNode                tn,fn;
     TreeNodeIterator        tni,fni,_tni;
     Str                     objName;
     SysDictField            sysDictField;
     Common                  common;
     Query                   query = new Query();
     QueryBuildDataSource    qbs;
     QueryBuildRange         qbr;
     TableId                 mTableId;
     QueryRun                qr;
     ;

    tn = TreeNode::findNode(“\\Data Dictionary\\Tables”);
     tni = tn.AOTiterator();
     tn = tni.next();

    while (tn)
     {
         objName = tn.treeNodeName();

        tn = tni.next();

        mTableId = tableName2id(objName);
         sysDictField = new SysDictField(mTableId, fieldname2id(mTableId, “Dimension”));  // Finding table object which have Dimension field

        if (sysDictField && Global::hasTableAccess(mTableId))
         {
             //info(objname);
             try
             {
                 qbs = query.addDataSource(mTableId);
                 qbr = qbs.addRange(fieldId2Ext(fieldname2id(mTableId, “Dimension”),10));   // using Dimension[10] in query range
                 qbr.value(“201?);

                qr = new QueryRun(query);
                 while (qr.next())
                 {

                    common = qr.get(mTableId);
                     if (common.RecId)
                     {
                         common.selectForUpdate(true);
                         ttsbegin;
                         common.(fieldId2Ext(fieldname2id(mTableId, “Dimension”),10)) = “203?; //assigning the Dimension[10] value by using Common
                         common.update();
                         ttscommit;
                         info(strfmt(“%1 %2?,objName, int2str(common.RecId)));
                     }
                 }
             }
             catch(Exception::Error)
             {
                 continue;
             }

        }
     }
}

With this, we can write some Advanced Search utilities, to find specific values for some fields for the tables.

Force delete inventtrans

Source: http://agusriyadi.blogspot.be/2009/08/force-delete-inventtrans.html

Below is sample job to force delete inventtrans, which will take care of invent on hand update.
static void DeleteInventTrans(Args _args)
{
Dialog dlg = new Dialog("Delete inventtrans ?");
DialogField dlgFld;
InventMovement inventMovement;
PurchLine purchLine;
PurchLineRefRecId recId;
;
dlgFld = dlg.addField(typeid(PurchLineRefRecId));
if(dlg.run())
{
recId = dlgFld.value();
purchLine = PurchLine::findRecId(recId);
if(purchLine)
{
InventMovement = InventMovement::construct(purchLine);
InventUpd_DeleteMovement::newMovement(
inventMovement,true).updateNow();
info("done");
}
}
}

On Hand Inventory fields explained

source: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6116.dynamics-ax-on-hand-inventory.aspx
MS Dynamics AX 2009 has a very detailed information about inventory items; it gives a comprehensive information regarding stock which gives a clear vision about what in stock, what is reserved for customer or to be issued out, what is ordered from vendor or received in, and what have been posted or still in open transaction.
The below table descript the information in Items On hand form under Inventory Management->Common Forms->Item details->On hand button

Or it could be accessed through Sales Order/ Purchase Order/Inventory Movement/Production Order under Inventory button->On Hand

#	Label	Description	Comment
1	Physical inventory	Total available quantities
2	Physical reserved	Quantities reserved in Sales Order
3	Available Physical	Available physical quantities for transactions	3 = 1 – 2
4	Ordered in total	Total quantities in open Purchase Order (did not received yet)
5	Ordered reserved	Quantities reserved from Purchase Order (did not received yet)
6	Available for reservation	Quantities in open Purchase Orders (did not received yet) available for reservation	6 = 3 + (4 – 5)
7	On order in total	Quantity in open Sales Order (did not delivered yet)
8	Total Available	Net available physical quantities for transaction	8 = 6 – 7
9	Posted quantity	Quantities posted financially
10	Deducted	Quantities have physical packing list updates in Sales Order
11	Picked	Quantities have picking list update in Sales Order
12	Received	Quantities have physical updates in Purchase Order
13	Registered	Quantities have registered in Purchase Order
14	Physical cost amount	Amount posted in ledger physically
15	Financial cost amount	Amount posted in leader financially
16	Cost price	Item average cost

Custom Lookup - company id

public void lookup()

    sysTableLookup.parmQuery(query);
    sysTableLookup.performFormLookup();
