Add display method to List page (VendTableListPage) AX 2012

Hi Experts,

As per requirement of client, PAN number should be display on vendor list page. I have created a display method on VendTable and added to vendTableListPage design


display PANNumber_IN getVendPANNumber()
{
    TaxInformationVendTable_IN      taxInformationVendtable_IN;

    select firstOnly PANNumber from taxInformationVendtable_IN
        where taxInformationVendtable_IN.VendTable == this.AccountNum;

    return taxInformationVendtable_IN.PANNumber;
}



After adding fields on Design, Save and compile the form.
**Most Important**
Go to the front end i.e. AX Client, Accounts Payable/ Vendors, the vendor list page form will open, Right click on form then Click on Reset button. After this you have to close the form and reopen again.

Rebuild and Update balances through X++

Hi Guys,

If you are posting journals through X++ and facing issues in trial balance update you can use below code to rebuild and update balances.


public void run()
{
    DimensionFocusProcessBalance    dimFocusProcessBal = new DimensionFocusProcessBalance();
    DimensionFocusUpdateBalance     dimFocusUpdateBal = new DimensionFocusUpdateBalance();
    DimensionHierarchy focusDimensionHierarchy;

    while Select focusDimensionHierarchy
        where focusDimensionHierarchy.FocusState == DimensionFocusBalanceInitializationState::Initialized
    {
        dimFocusProcessBal = DimensionFocusProcessBalance::construct(NoYes::No, focusDimensionHierarchy);
        dimFocusProcessBal.run();
        dimFocusUpdateBal = DimensionFocusUpdateBalance::construct(focusDimensionHierarchy);
        dimFocusUpdateBal.run();
    }

    info("Balances Updated !");

Export data to EXCEL | AX 2009 | AX 2012 | Excel Report

Hi Techies,

Hope you are doing good. Recently due to INDIA GST Update in Microsoft dynamics AX most of the clients want to export data in excel to prepare GSTR excel files.

I designed a good excel worksheet with X++ and exported data as per requirement. I am sharing with you how can you design excel sheets with the help of X++ code. Please check below.

Step 1. Create a Class. This is class declaration method.

public class MKS_ExportToExcel extends Runbase
{
    #AviFiles
    DialogField         dlgFromDate,dlgToDate;
    TransDate           fromDate,toDate;

    //Excel file declaration
    SysExcelApplication  xlsApplication;
    SysExcelWorkBooks    xlsWorkBookCollection;
    SysExcelWorkBook     xlsWorkBook;
    SysExcelWorkSheets   xlsWorkSheetCollection;
    SysExcelWorkSheet    xlsWorkSheet;
    SysExcelRange        xlsRange;
    int                  row;
    str                  fileName;

    VendInvoiceJour     vendInvoiceJour;

    #DEFINE.CurrentVersion(1)
    #LOCALMACRO.CurrentList
        fromDate,
        toDate
    #ENDMACRO
}

Step 2. Create Dialog method.

protected Object dialog()
{
    Dialog      dialog = super();
    #resAppl
    ;

    // Set a title for dialog
    dialog.caption('Inward Supply Register Report');
    dialog.addTabPage('Selection Criteria');
    dialog.addGroup('Select date range');
    // Add a new field to Dialog
    dlgFromDate = dialog.addFieldValue(typeid(TransDate), fromDate,"From date");
    dlgToDate   = dialog.addFieldValue(typeid(TransDate), toDate, 'To date');

    return dialog;

}

Step 3. Create getFromDialog method.

public boolean getFromDialog()
{
    ;
    // Retrieve values from Dialog
    fromDate = dlgfromDate.value();
    toDate = dlgToDate.value();

    return super();

}

Step 4. main Method

public static void main(Args _args)
{
     MKS_ExportToExcel reportClass = new MKS_ExportToExcel();

    // Prompt the dialog, if user clicks in OK it returns true
    if (reportClass.prompt())
    {
        reportClass.run();
    }

}

Step 5. run method.

public void run()
{
    ;
    this.setExcelInitialsAndHeader();
    this.fetchDataIntoExcel();
    this.endExcel();

}

Step 6. setExcelInitialsAndHeader - To setup Excel report heading section.

public void setExcelInitialsAndHeader()
{
    COM                     range;
    COM                     autoFit;
    COM                     merge;
    COM                     WrapText;
    COM                     ColumnWidth;
    COM                     RowHeight;

    SysExcelStyles          styles;
    SysExcelStyle           style;
    SysExcelFont            font;
    SysExcelCells           cells;
    FileNameFilter          filter = ["Excel file", "*.xlsx"];
    ;

    row = 1;

    fileName = winapi::getSaveFileName(infolog.hWnd(), filter , @"c:\...\desktop", "Save as Excel file","xlsx","Report name");
    //fileName ="C:\\Windows\\Temp\\test.xlsx";

    if(!fileName)
    return;
    //Check whether the document already exists
    if(WinApi::fileExists(fileName))
    WinApi::deleteFile(fileName);
    //throw error("File already exist");


    //Initialize Excel instance
    xlsApplication           = SysExcelApplication::construct();

    //Open Excel document
    //xlsApplication.visible(true);


    //Create Excel WorkBook and WorkSheet
    xlsWorkBookCollection    = xlsApplication.workbooks();
    xlsWorkBook              = xlsWorkBookCollection.add();
    xlsWorkSheetCollection   = xlsWorkBook.worksheets();
    xlsWorkSheet             = xlsWorkSheetCollection.itemFromNum(1);

    Styles = xlsWorkBook.styles();
    // Create new style
    style = styles.add('Header');
    // Set font for this style to bold
    font = style.font();
    font.bold(true);
    font.color(51);


    //Excel Report Heading
    range = xlsWorkSheet.range('A1:F1').comObject();
    range.merge();
    RowHeight = range.RowHeight(30);

    xlsWorkSheet.rows().item(1).style('Title');

    range = xlsWorkSheet.range('A2:BE2').comObject();
    xlsWorkSheet.rows().item(2).style('Output');
    xlsWorkSheet.rows().item(2).horizontalAlignment(-4108);
    wrapText = range.wraptext(true);

    ColumnWidth = range.ColumnWidth(14.71);

    xlsWorkSheet.cells().item(row,1).value('GST Report');
    row++;

    //Excel column caption
    xlsWorkSheet.cells().item(row,1).value('Sr. No.');
    xlsWorkSheet.cells().item(row,2).value('Vendor Code');
    xlsWorkSheet.cells().item(row,3).value('Vendor Name');
   
    row++;

}

Step 6. endExcel -  To Setup process while closing excel.

public void endExcel()
{
    ;
    // Set the column width to autoFit
    xlsWorkSheet.columns().autoFit();
    //Save Excel document
    xlsWorkbook.saveAs(fileName);


    xlsWorkbook.comObject().save();
    xlsWorkbook.saved(true);
    //Open Excel document
    xlsApplication.visible(true);

}

Step 7. fetchDataIntoExcel - Used to put data into excel rows.

public void fetchDataIntoExcel()
{
    VendTable               vendTable;
    CompanyInfo             companyInfo = CompanyInfo::find();
    TaxWithholdTrans_IN     tdsTable;
    LedgerJournalTrans      ledgerJournalTrans;

    ;
    progress = new RunbaseProgress();
    progress.setCaption("Export To Excel in progress...");
    progress.setAnimation(#AviTransfer);

    while select vendInvoiceJour
    order by    vendInvoiceJour.InvoiceDate
        where vendInvoiceJour.InvoiceDate >= fromDate
        && vendInvoiceJour.InvoiceDate <= toDate

    {
        vendTable = VendTable::find(vendInvoiceJour.InvoiceAccount);
        progress.setText(strfmt("Vendor %1", vendTable.Name));

        xlsWorkSheet.cells().item(row,1).value(row-2);
        xlsWorkSheet.cells().item(row,2).value(vendInvoiceJour.InvoiceAccount);
        xlsWorkSheet.cells().item(row,3).value(vendTable.name);

row++;
    }


}

Step 8. PACK and UnPack methods.

container pack()
{
    return [#CurrentVersion,#CurrentList];

}


public boolean unpack(container _packedClass)
{
    int version = conPeek(_packedClass,1);

    switch (version)
   {
        case #CurrentVersion:
            [version,#CurrentList] = _packedClass;
            break;
        default:
            return false;
    }
    return true;

}
