Microsoft Dynamics Axapta Technical,Functional Coverage

Inventory Close Cancellation In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, cancellation of an inventory close or recalculation has been optimized for performance gains. The cancellation job will now use the batch framework in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. Each item will be handled as a separate task by the batch framework and the batch framework will keep track of the dependencies between the tasks. Finally, all ledger postings will occur within their own Transaction Tracking System (TTS) scope.

Costing Versions in axapta The Costing version setup form enables users to create distinct user-defined environments, for maintaining and calculating items’ planned costs and it can be found here: Inventory management > Setup > Costing versions Users can enter and maintain planned items’ costs, cost categories’ rate, indirect costs’ rate, and ratio in costing versions. The BOM calculation executed on the costing version calculates and appends the manufactured item planned costs to it. The costs created with a status of “pending” can be activated, discreetly or else in mass, to become effective and be applied to production costing and inventory valuation.

Indirect Cost in axapta Under full absorption costing methodology, manufacturing indirect costs are charged to products. This costing feature enables the definition, through the costing sheet, of the manufacturing indirect costs to be applied, either as a surcharge over other cost aggregates or else as a rate over production hours or quantities. Indirect costs contribute to the planned, estimated, and actual product and production costs. Indirect costs are applied and posted to ledger at the time of the resources consumption. A new Indirect cost transactions form has been introduced in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, and can be found here: Production > Production order details > Inquiries > Indirect cost transactions. The Indirect cost transactions form provides an overview of indirect costs applied on the production order

Procedures to Enable Cost Breakdown in axapta To enable cost breakdown in the configuration of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009,perform the following: 1. Open Administration > Setup > System > Configuration. 2. Expand the Logistics node. 3. Expand the Bills of materials node. 4. Select the Allow cost breakdown activation check box. To enable the cost breakdown in the Inventory management module, perform the following: 1. Open Inventory management > Setup > Parameters. 2. Click the Bills of materials tab. 3. Make a selection in the Cost Breakdown field. 4. Close the Parameters form.

Set Up Variances on Standard Cost Posting Profile To set the ledger accounts to apply for posting the variances to standard cost in the ledger, perform the following steps: 1. Open Inventory management > Setup > Posting > Posting. 2. Click the Standard cost variance tab in the Inventory posting form. 3. Select the type of variance for which to setup the ledger accounts. 4. Press CTRL+N to create a new line. 5. Select the Item relation and Cost relation that will govern the ledger account resolution. 6. Select the Account number. 7. Make a selection in the Site field. 8. Save the record and close the Inventory posting form

Standard Cost in Axapta When a new standard cost is activated on an item, the system immediately revalues both inventory and Work in Process (WIP), at the new standard cost. It records the revaluation variances in the process to account for the difference to the prior standard cost. This is a list of the types of variance available for standard cost: • Variances to standard cost are captured through different variance types at every stage.• Purchase price variance is captured upon purchase receipt and invoice matching. • Cost change variances are captured upon transfers and credit notes. • Revaluation variances are captured upon standard cost change. • Production variances are captured upon production end. This can be optionally separated between cost, quantity variance, substitution and lot size variance. Ultimately, items defined by using a standard cost valuation method no longer require the inventory close process to be performed.

How to get No of users Online and sessions This job gives you the number of current online users. static void noofusersOnline(Args _args) { int maxSessions = Info::licensedUsersTotal(); userinfo userinfo; int counter; int num; xSession session; if (!maxSessions) //Demo mode maxSessions = 3; num = 0; for(counter = maxSessions;counter;counter--) { session = new xSession(counter, true); if(session && session.userId()) { select userinfo where userinfo.id == session.userId(); print userinfo.name; } } print "Maximum session id's in Axapta - ", xsession::maxSessionId(); pause; }
