Auto Generate Calendar

-
I found that generating separate asset calendar in every new Fixed Asset implementation is rather important. There is a requirement to have all the years available for your migrated fixed asset before you can upload the value model. Let's say you have the asset since 1990 in the register and this asset is included as part of the migration. This will require you to have the calendar since 1990 before you can upload the opening balance.

 Creating the calendar since 1990 can be a bit painful, especially if you have different environment such as Development, Training, Testing, and Production environment. It means that you have to populate the calendar since 1990 to years in the future in all server environment.

 I've created a script to help populate the calendar easily. You may need to change the calendar name in variable.

     static void TI_PopulateFACalendar(Args _args)
    {
        AVIFiles
        FiscalCalendar          _fiscalCalendar;
        int                     i,startYear=1980, endYear=2026;
        SysOperationProgress    progressBar;
    
        Dialog                  _dialog;
        DialogField             fieldStartYear, fieldEndYear;
        ;
    
        _dialog = new Dialog();
        fieldStartYear = _dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(Integer), "Start Year");
        fieldEndYear = _dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(Integer), "End Year");
    
        if(!_dialog.run())
        {
            return;
        }
    
    
        ttsBegin;
    
        startYear = fieldStartYear.value();
        endYear = fieldEndYear.value();
    
        _fiscalCalendar.initValue();
        _fiscalCalendar.CalendarId = "FA"; //Change the name of the calendar
        _fiscalCalendar.Description = "Fixed Asset Calendar";
        _fiscalCalendar.insert();
    
    
        select _fiscalCalendar  where _fiscalCalendar.CalendarId == "FA";
    
        if(!_fiscalCalendar)
        {
            warning("FA calendar couldn't be found");
            return;
        }
    
    
        progressBar = new SysOperationProgress();
        startLengthyOperation();
    
        progressBar.setTotal(endYear - startYear + 1);
        progressBar.setAnimation(AVIUpdate);
    
        for(i=startYear; i<=endYear; i++)
        {
            FiscalCalendars::createYear(_fiscalCalendar.RecId,
                                        mkDate(1,7,i),
                                        mkDate(30,6,i+1),
                                        1,
                                        PeriodUnit::Month,
                                        strFmt("%1-%2", int2str(i), subStr(int2str(i+1), 3, 2)),
                                        false);
    
            progressBar.setText(strFmt("Creating Fixed Asset Calendar - Year %1 of %2", i, endYear));
            progressBar.incCount();
    
        }
    
        endLengthyOperation();
        ttsCommit;
    
        info("FA calendar has been populated");
    

    }

Purchase Order Invoice Reversal in AX 2012

-

There are couple ways of reversing the PO Invoice in AX 2009 and prior versions. However, there is a procedure that can’t be done in AX 2012. Reversing PO Invoice in AX 2009 can be done by directly entering minus quantity in “Receive now” field at the PO line that wanted to be reversed. Then proceed by posting a delivery note and invoice subsequently. This will reverse the delivery note/invoice on that positive PO line. This procedure, though has a tidy result, is no longer allowed in AX2012. User has to create separate negative PO line to do the reversal of the PO Invoice. User will get following message because both receive now and ordered quantity must have the same sign (either positive or negative). The procedure is well explained by Microsoft in following link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh454990.aspx

Load Ledger Transactions from Posted Journal Batch Number

-
We could easily use the load ledger transactions to retrieve transactions based on the "Journal Batch Number" in AX 2009. But that isn't the case in AX 2012. Some people found out that the Load Ledger Transactions function doesn't load anything when trying to retrieve transactions based on the journal batch number "Journal number" on above standard query doesn't refer to "Journal Batch Number". So that, the Journal batch number shouldn't be put on that field. Below shows you how to put the journal batch number query on the correct field. The field is available on the other table.

D365 Finance and Operations - REVENUE RECOGNITION FEATURE (based on IFRS 15)

-

Microsoft, in Oct 2019, released Revenue Recognition feature for Finance module. I’ll give you a brief recap of what it is for and how we use the function in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365FO) Before jumping into the features, I’ll explain IFRS 15 in layman’s term (if you want to get more knowledge of IFRS 15 with accounting technical term you can google it). IFRS 15 is new reporting standard to set the new standard replacing the old accounting standard rules: IAS 18 (sale of services, sale of goods, and royalties) IAS 11 (Construction contracts) IFRS 15, became effective in Jan 2018, is expected to outline a standard rule on how the entity should recognize the revenue on the contracts. I’ll use the following examples to help me explain how the IFRS 15 works. Telstra sells a $100 plan/month for 12 months to a customer. The plan comes with a headset. Prior to IFRS 15, an entity may book (/recognize) the revenue for $100 per month over the period of 12 months. ...
