Dynamics 365 Blog - Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations - Page 3

In principle, every solution in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations should be free of best-practice deviations, but sometimes there is the need to suppress them.

Such a case are for example, event handlers that have a predefined parameter profile, but if one of these parameters is not used, it causes a BP deviation.

class MyFreeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmpEH
{
    [DataEventHandler(tableStr(FreeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmp), DataEventType::Inserting)]
    public static void FreeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmp_onInserting(Common sender, DataEventArgs e)
    {
        FreeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmp freeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmp;
    
        freeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmp = sender;
    
        if (freeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmp.CompanyBankAccount == "")
        {
            freeTextInvoiceHeaderFooterTmp.CompanyBankName = "Unknown";
        }
    }
}

With the above EH, the following BP deviation would be output because the parameter e is not used:

BP Rule: [BPParameterNotUsed]:The parameter 'e' is not used.

When I recently wanted to update a local D365-VPC with Platform Update 30, the following error occurred at Step 19:

GlobalUpdate script for service model: AOSService on machine: D365Local
Sync AX database
The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException: An exception of type System.Net.WebException occurred when making an http request to: http://127.0.0.1/ReportServer. Refer to the log file for more details.
The step failed

The reason for this error was quickly found - after downloading the VHD from LCS, the name of the virtual computer was changed, but not all neccessary steps were done. As a result, SQL Reporting Services had a problem, a new database had to be entered here. How this works, and what else you have to consider when renaming a VHD, can be found here.

{
    return LedgerDimensionFacade::getDisplayValueForLedgerDimension(this.LedgerDimension);
}

When importing data via a self-created data entity that also contains financial dimensions for a self-created table, I recently had the problem that the import always failed with the following error:

Argument to method getFieldValue out of range

During debugging it turned out that a field name could not be determined in the method DimensionDynamicAccountDataEntityResolver.getEnumValue(). However, the responsible method DictDataEntityField.dynamicDimensionEnumartionField() is not visible.

In Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, only a few steps are required to add a field of type LedgerDimension - that is, a field that is to include financial dimensions - to a (new) table:

1. Create a New Foreign-Key Relationship to the DimensionAttributeValueCombination Table
2. Select RecId as the index of this relation.
   A new field is now generated in the table and the relation to this field is created.
3. he Extends property of this new field should now be changed to DimensionDynamicAccount
   The field can now be renamed, for example, LedgerDimension.
4. Now another new field must be inserted that derives LedgerJournalACType from BaseEnum.

The following steps are necessary to display such a field in a (separate) form:

1. Place both created fields in the design using Drag & Drop
2. A Segmented Entry Control is created for the field that is to contain the dimension (for example, LedgerDimension).
3. The following properties must now be adjusted in the properties of this control
   • Controller Class: DimensionDynamicAccountController
   • Account type field: The field extended from LedgerJournalACType must be entered here.

Depending on the class that is stored in the Controller Class property of the Segmented Entry Control, further settings may have to be made, although not all of them are always permitted. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/de-at/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/financial/segmented-entry-control-metadata-specification
