Dimension Entry Controls in Dynamics 365 for Operations

-
In Dynamics 365 for Operation adding dimension controls to Forms has been changed a bit so that all forms interact only with the Dimension Entry control instance API and not directly with the controller classes eg. LedgerDefaultDimensionEntryController, etc. These are some of the changes I've noticed while upgrading Ax 2012 to D365FO:

1. Add the Dimension Entry form control and set the properties










2. While upgrading these are some of the differences I found between Ax 2012 and D365FO:

Ax 2012
dimensionDefaultingController = DimensionDefaultingControllerNoDS::constructInGroupWithValues(true, true, true, 0, this, dimensionsGroup, "@SYS138487", legalEntity.text());
D365FO
DimensionEntryControl.parmDisplayValues(true);
DimensionEntryControl.parmCompany(legalEntity.text());
DimensionEntryControl.reactivate();

Ax 2012
dimensionDefaultingController.pageActivated();
dimensionDefaultingController.loadValues(dimensionDefaultRecId);
D365FO
DimensionEntryControl.reactivate();   DimensionEntryControl.loadAttributeValueSet(dimensionDefaultRecId);

Essentially this post is going to discuss calling custom code while refreshing a form in D365O, however, you can find more information about other system defined buttons and how you can run extra code or suppress them in this article:  System-Defined buttons Firstly the datahelper() method of the formRun framework class can be used to provide services that allow managing the datasources of the form. How can I add custom code to run when I click refresh? We are going to use eventing (pre-event handler and post-event handler) to do this: 1. Write your method that you want to call when the refresh button is clicked 2. In the Form.int subscribe using the datahelper().Refreshing event 3. On refresh click you'll see your message

Exploring Alternatives for SELECT TOP in X++ - D365 Finance and Supply Chain

Recently, I had to write a query that retrieves Batches with the oldest Manufacturing Date in D365 Finance and Supply Chain, utilizing the "SELECT TOP" functionality. However, as you may be aware, the TOP keyword is natively supported in SQL but not when composing a select statement in D365 and X++. Nevertheless, there are alternative techniques to accomplish the same objective. Additionally, I have included some performance metrics to assist you in choosing the most appropriate method based on your specific requirements. Scenario : Write a query to get the top 3 batches and locations which have the oldest Manufacturing Date for an item and have Available Physical > 0, grouped by the Item, Batch Id, Manufacturing Date and the location. Assumptions : One legal entity, with one site and warehouse Here's how the SELECT TOP Clause would look like in SQL: Method 1 : Select statement using a break  Once we reach the required number of records, we break from th
