buffer size issue while adding more fields in SalesTable in axapta

If you are having buffer size issue while adding more fields in SalesTable. I thought to create a parallel table with SalesTable which could be used in future customization  and would associate this table on SalesTable form using SalesId relation on this new table with SalesTable. It works but only when You create new records in salesTable due to the relation defined between SalesTable and newly created table. However, it is not working with existing sales orders as there is not associated SalesId (from sales table) in newly created table. If You will go with this approach You have to run a job to update all SalesId from SalesTable to newly created table for existing records. These are other workaround rather than adding a new table or have ever come across with such requirement? 1) Insert Old Data from Orignal_SalesTable to New_SalesTable 2) Under Orignal_SalesTable, create(if not available)/see(if already) three methods, AosValidateInsert,AosValidateDelete,AOSValidateUpdate; These

Then if I could set the minimum inventory as, let say 6 days, that should mean for AX a shortage of 2 inventory days (200 Pcs that I need to purchase, therefore a planned order should be generated by master planning). Solution: The core of your requirement is not the Item coverage, what you need is to auto-generate the sales forecast based on historical sales data. Then you can use the standard functionality of item coverage code Period and define the period as your forecast bucket. In that case you make the sure that the item requirement will collect whatever in the sales forecast. I think it could work fine: The calculated forecast will need to be created in a

How Axapta could reach your business goal

If anyone running his business and his business is running on different branches then you may require ERP package to maintain your company daily transactional data like finance,trading operations,material handling,BOM type items.
