atinkerersnotebook: New Dynamics AX Blog Posts and Blueprints Available
Источник: http://atinkerersnotebook.com/2013/1...nts-available/
============== One of the requests that I have always got after people have browsed and downloaded my posts from SlideShare is that the image quality has not been the best because SlideShare compresses the images when the post them. Another is that it is slow to download the slides, and with 100 slides in some of the presentations, this can be frustrating – especially if you are looking for some particular content. Even when I forward on the PDF, then you may not be able to quite make out the particular code or form within the document. Also, with some of the posts, there is a lot of content that I try to publish, and it may be a little overwhelming to see pages and pages of instructions on my blog posts. So I am trying a different approach to help you all get the most out of Dynamics AX and wanted to pass on the details since at one point or another I have either talked to you, met with you, demonstrated to you, you have visited my blog (www.atinkerersnotebook.com), you have browsed my SlideShare account (www.slideshare.net/murrayfife) or all of the above. In addition to my catchall blog site (www.atinkerersnotebook.com) I have created two new blog sites that you might like to check out. They are:
Finally, I am also creating reference Blueprints that are available on Amazon that combine all of the information in the blogs into an easy to reference and lightweight format. These should be better references when working through some of the more intricate or lengthy posts, and also should give you better access to the content and code snippets:  These take a little bit of time to develop and publish, but I should be creating these as part of the documentation process, but they give me the ability to update them continually, and also add additional notes and sections that you will be able to access automatically through the Kindle publishing process. So far there are three primary blueprints that I have published, and below is a description of them and the content that they contain: Developing a Product Approval Workflow in Dynamics AX 2012  There are a lot of workflow templates that are delivered with Dynamics AX 2012, but that doesn’t mean that those are the only ones that you can use. Developing new workflow templates and actions are pretty straight forward and you can easily extend out the system to incorporate other workflow scenarios that have not been added yet. In this blueprint we will work through one example and show you how you can develop your own workflow process for product approvals that allow you to submit, track and approve the product review process. </p>In this walkthrough we showed how you can create your own workflow templates and activities. The product approval process could easily be extended out to include more steps and approvals for the products, allowing for it to be used for new product introduction and development. This does not just have to apply to product approvals though, you can use exactly the same process to create workflow templates for the approval of other areas where the approval processes may be needed such as Customer, Vendors and BOMS. All you need to do is change the base tables and forms that are being referenced and the process will be almost identical. You can also extend out the approval logic to update more information through the workflows like flags for allowing the use of the record after it has been activated, and also incorporating information that has been gathered during the process. If you want to get really creative, you can even create custom workflow elements that incorporate other technologies like Outlook for the creation of tasks and appointments. Don’t be afraid to create new workflow templates, once you have built them, then they will provide a much better way to streamline your business processes, and the hour or so that you spend creating them will be recouped quickly by the removal of the manual workarounds that would have been used without them.

Additionally, if you are using the Vendor Portal, the on-boarding process will allow you to co-ordinate the setup of the vendor users, and if you want to, you van also have the prospective vendors update and approve their information before they are approved to ensure that their details are correct, and that they want to do business with you as well. This process is a great way to streamline the vendor setup process and is also a time saver because people are involved through the workflow process and all activities are tracked. In this blueprint we will show how the vendor on-boarding process is handled through the Vendor Requests function within Dynamics AX. The vendor on-boarding process makes the setting up of vendors so much easier, especially when you have multiple people involved in the setup and approval process. In this example we have just shown a couple of the options that are available to you. Once you have mastered the basics, you can try the following:

In this series we will show how PowerPivot can assist you with advanced data analysis and reporting, making those extracts from Dynamics AX to Excel even more valuable. PowerPivot is a great tool that gives you a lot more capabilities that the normal Pivot function lacks, and in this worked example we have shown how it also extends out to SharePoint giving you a number of new publishing and visualization options. Once you have mastered all of the basics of PowerPivot, you may want to dive into some other features like:

Don’t forget to check out my book – Extending Dynamics AX 2012 Cookbook – every time one is sold, an angel gets it’s wings – or more importantly I get closer to publishing a new book for you all    Источник: http://atinkerersnotebook.com/2013/1...nts-available/
