Earlier this week, while stuck in traffic, I received a call from one of my favorite customers regarding some issues she was experiencing with credit notes in Dynamics AX 2009. Like trying to work on a classic American car with metric wrenches, she was finding that the standard credit note functionality just wasn’t the fit she was expecting. She was in need of some specialty tools to meet her needs. Read the rest of this entry »

Say for instance a customer is writing custom code that is performing some function in DAX. After that process is done, they might want to send an email to notify either internal employees or external contacts. They can use this code to send an email. I know that workflow will notify internal employees, but if they don’t want to go through the setup and configuration of setting up workflow, they could use this code. One application I can think of would be AR cash receipts journal posting. When the journal is posted, custom code could be written to send the customer an email notifying them that their payment(s) have been received and applied. Just like the email you get when you pay your credit card online.

If an email needs to be send from a custom application, it can be done with the following code:

SysMailer mail;
;

mail = new SysMailer();
mail.SMTPRelayServer(“yourexchange.server”);
mail.fromAddress(“fromaddress@address.com”);
mail.tos().appendAddress(“toaddress@address.com”);

// Build the Message
mail.htmlBody(strfmt(“This is a test”));
mail.subject(strfmt(“Testing AX Email”));
mail.sendMail();

Microsoft just announced another round of great incentives for Dynamics AX and the other Dyanmics ERP and CRM offerings.  Part of the incentive focuses on great financing terms, and part is a great incentive to move from JD Edwards and Sage.

From the press release:

“…. in an effort to make it easier for companies to move from outdated and costly business applications to Microsoft’s modern ERP solutions, the company will make available a set of competitively focused offerings in the U.S. specifically targeted at customers who may not be receiving the levels of innovation that they expect from their current vendor. Starting in May, select partners will be able to extend their customers an offer to move to a Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution with a 50 percent discount on licensing, and receive a rebate equal to 25 percent of the suggested retail price of the Microsoft Dynamics solution (up to a maximum of $25,000) to help offset the costs of switching from Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200, or Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne .”
