Driving Success for Your End-to-end Journey

Upgrades, Updates, and Hotfixes ( cont d) Product Split into Two Parts Platform Kernel things, and some X++ code that are lower-level; Batch Framework, Number Sequences, Print Management, User Info, etc. Application Business Logic, Customers, Sales Orders, Production Module, etc. Binary Items: Financial Reporting (MR), SSRS framework for AX

( cont d) Upgrades, Updates, and Hotfixes Releases Platform Platform now releases a monthly update. The platform consists of both the lower-level kernel binaries, as well as some X++ packages. Platform packages are "sealed" from over-layering, so even though you do get updated X++ code on your development boxes, you don't actually compile or customize these. You can extend them, of course. Application The application consists of: Binaries: MR, SSRS components for AX, etc. Metadata: All the X++ code related to the application (Sales Orders, Customers, etc.). A release is considered a major or minor version change. The original version of AX7 had application 7.0. The fall release (2016) was 7.1. The Spring release in 2017 is 7.2. This is different than the platform, which is backwards compatible, so there's no major or minor release change. An application release means it's both the binaries and the metadata combined as one release.

How To Apply These Updates and Upgrades

Where to find the current version

Product Update 11 October 2017 Attachment presence and document count indicator When viewing a record, the system indicates the number of attachments on that record by showing a count on the Attachments button. The count will show up to 0-9+ attachments. Auditing System logging of user sign in/out now enabled. Sign out is logged even if user's session expires or ends.

Copy legal entity configurations to a new legal entity As new companies are needed, users will be able to save time (And errors!) by copying an existing legal entity s setup to the new company. This allows onboarding of new locations quickly, while staying consistent with the company s golden template design.

Product Update 10 August 2017 Browser client - Support for keyboard shortcut sequences Key sequences now supported. A key sequence allows an action to be triggered by pressing two key combinations sequentially. For example: Alt+M followed immediately by pressing the N key, is a new shortcut for moving focus to the navigation bar.

Excel add-in enables passing header context to detail records Allows the creation of header records in addition to line records. For example, for journal entry, you can use Open Lines in Excel for a journal, publish that journal, and then create a new journal directly in Excel. This removes the need to return to the Finance and Operations client.

These check templates have been created using the Excel capabilities of the Electronic reporting tool. These checks templates are compatible with US check formats.

Financial reporting

Financial reporting

Vendor invoice automation Sample integration scenario where company partners with an OCR service provider for vendor invoice processing. Company s vendors send invoices to the service provider by email. Through OCR processing, the service provider generates invoice metadata (header and/or lines) and a scanned image of the invoice. An integration layer then transforms these artifacts so that Finance and Operations can consume them.

Vendor self-service portal and collaboration The Vendor collaboration module is targeted at vendors who don t have electronic data interchange (EDI) integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations. It allows vendors to work with purchase order, invoice, and consignment inventory information.
