In this blog we will learn how to create workflows in D365 finance and operation. For this blog we are taking example of Purchase order workflow. Which will allow us to create purchase order which is allocated to different persons for approval and review process. Navigate to Procurement and Sourcing >>Setup>>Procurement and Sourcing workflows, and click on new and select purchase order workflow as follows:- This will open workflow editor in you first need to provide log in details same as that of environment. Here we need to arrange various components and need to set their properties to resolve those following errors. Components for this of workflow: – Start: – To indicate start of workflow design. End:- To indicate end of workflow design. Review Purchase order:-This assign review(Complete/Return PO). Approve Purchase order:- This assign users who needs to approve purchase order.   To design workflow follow the steps :- Now In designer create design as shown in screenshot Set the Review element and right click and open properties and set as basic settings as follows:- In assignment make sure you have assigned type(in our case user) and user name You can also escalate roles after certain time as follows(we are not considering this setup for this blog) Now get back to approve purchase order and open its properties for and set automatic action as follows which will approve Purchase order below 10000 USD. Set the notification for person who will receive notification when particular operation is performed(for eg :- Approved/rejected etc) Now click on step 1 to enter in step 1 section and open its properties. First we are assigning user who will approve the purchase order as screenshot suggest as well as you can set time limit for approval and completion policy as well. You can also add the condition to step 1 which will decide whether to run this step or notNow close step and get back to main design of designer Now click on save and close and mention version notes and activate this workflow Now you can see new workflow in procurement and sourcing workflows Now create new purchase order and after that click on workflow button and click on submit you can also check history of it Now another user will complete the purchase order approval and mention comment. Now user with authority of approval will approve  from common>>Work Items assigned to me  

When we want to move customization done on specific model from one environment to other development environment we need to export and import the model file. Steps for model import and export using PowerShell :- Open PowerShell in administrator mode. Change directory to the path of package bin folder. Export command:-.\ModelUtil.exe -export -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -modelname=”name of model” -outputpath=path to store model after exportFor example: If model name is TOUpgradeModel and I want to store the model file to path is C:\Temp\ModelFile The command will be as follows: .\ModelUtil.exe -export -metadatastorepath=K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory -modelname=”TOUpgradeModel” -outputpath=C:\Temp\ModelFile Output file you can see on the specified path as Import Command :-.\ModelUtil.exe -import -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -file=the path from. axmodel to importFor example: .\ModelUtil.exe -import -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -file=C:\Temp\ModelFile\TOUpgradeModel-Cloudfront.axmodel ( Note : If model already exist in your environment, trying to import the same model you will     receive the error message of “Model already exist”. So, delete the existing model by command .\ModelUtil.exe -delete -metadatastorepath=C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory -modelname=” TOUpgradeModel ” try to import the model)

Many of the time while building project/solution we came across the “reference is required to compile this module error”. The reason behind this error is that your module’s reference package is missing the required package. In error itself, the missing module can be rectified as shown for example in following screenshot reference to “SourceDocumentationTypes” is not made. Now you have to add a missing reference to your module as follows: Select Update model Parameters from Dynamics 365 >>Model Management>>Update model Parameter Now select the required model name from the model list and click on Next. Now make sure to select the checkbox in front of a required reference from reference packages (In our case SourceDocumentationTypes reference was not there ) and click on next. Now click on finish. Now after attaching a reference to the package build package/Solution and you have solved your error.

We can also set the configuration for the different tools that Microsoft offer as a part of the development like Power BI integration. So, in this blog we see how to set up the post configuration setting for the LCS and how to add users to environment for D365 development.

In this blog article, we will see how we can create a Fixed Asset using code based on AssetGroupID. Add below code in class to create a Fixed Asset, public void createFixedAsset(AssetGroupId assetGroupId) {         AssetTable assetTable;         NumberSeq numberSeq;         assetTable.initValue();         assetTable.assetGroup = AssetGroupId;         //Initialize Number Seq for Asset Id         numberSeq = assetTable.initAssetNumberSeq(assetTable.Assetgroup);         AssetTable.AssetId = NumberSeq.num();           //Initialize other fields based on Asset Group assetTable.initFromAssetGroupId(assetTable.Assetgroup);         //Initialize name and Name Alias fron Item Id         assetTable.Name = InventTable::find(‘ITM1104’).itemName();         assetTable.NameAlias = assetTable.Name;         //Validate and Insert Fixed Asset. On insertion asset book is also created         assetTable.validateWrite();         assetTable.insert();     }
