Check Financial Journals in Background in Business Central

Ashwini Tripathi

Today we learn how to check financial journals in the background in #Dynamics365 #BusinessCentral in this post.

First thing first, you need to ensure the check mark for the batch in question for Background Error Check should be checked.

If this is enabled, when you open the batch on right side above Journal Line Details you will see Journal Check Section, which will let you know if Journal have any errors.

Let’s enter few Lines and see how it looks like

To see all errors, you can click on Cue Issues Total to bring summary page of all Issues.

If you have several Lines and you want to focus on lines with issues, you can do it by:

Copy Journal function on Posted General Journals in Business Central

Ashwini Tripathi

Working with large journals can be cumbersome to correct if you make mistakes.

Earlier we used to do customizations for our customers to get this done. But now this feature is available in the product.

Now with the Wave 2 release of Dynamics Business Central you can use the copy journal function on Posted General Journals.

User have ability to reverse the entries based on posted General Journals.

I am using Accountant Profile.

Search for General Journal Template, make sure you have check mark under Copy to Posted Jnl. Lines for template which you wish to use for this purpose.

Journals-> General Journal

Similarly, the Check mark on Batch which you will use for this purpose.

Search for Posted General Journal

You will find no entries as you can see in previous screenshot for Default Batch Copy to Posted General Journal check mark is clear and any entries posted using that batch is not available.

Now put the Check mark and post the entries.

Now re-open Posted General Journal after posting few entries.

Select the Lines you wish to reverse

Select Copy Selected Line to Journal

Fill the request page, Your Template & Batch to Use, if you wish to change the Posting Date & Document No. If you wish to change the Sign and then press OK.

Your Journal Lines will be created as per the information provided on request page:

Below is the Screenshot after posting the entries:

I have exported to Excel and hidden few columns to show the output.

Entries marked in red rectangle is the entries posted post above operation and options selected on request page.

So now you know how to use this feature, share with your customers and help to make their life easy. Hope you liked and enjoyed learning this feature.

Working with Collections

Ashwini Tripathi

Today we will learn three types of collections supported by AL.

A collection is a complex type that contains multiple values in one variable.

You can’t have values with different types in the same collection. For example, you can’t add date values in a collection that only allows integer values.

The three types of collections that AL supports are:

  • Array
  • List
  • Dictionary

We will discuss about each type of collections in this post with examples.

Let’s start with most familiar collection we have used with old versions of Navision too, yes you are right, I am talking about Arrays.

Arrays

Arrays are complex variables that contain a group of values with the same data type.

An array holds multiple values, and these values are stored in the elements of the array. You can access these values by using the index, which can also be a value that is stored in another variable. With this design, you can create a loop where you increment a certain variable to loop through every element in an array.

By using the Dimension property, you can define how many dimensions that the array will hold.

When creating a variable of an array data type, you first need to define how many elements that you’ll have in the array. The most commonly used array is the one-dimensional array, which is a list of elements with the same data type.

You can represent an array as a row of values.

To create an array, use the following code:

SalesAmount: array[10] of Integer;

To access an element in an array, use the array element syntax:

SalesAmount[5] := 0;

Unlike other programming languages array index don’t starts with 0 rather with 1. In above example first element will be 1 and last 10.

Having only one element between the square brackets indicates that you are using a one-dimensional array. If you want to have a multi-dimensional array, use a comma-separated list between the brackets, as follows:

SalesAmount: array[6,9] of Integer;

To access an element in an array, use the array element syntax:

SalesAmount[5,3] := 0;

Lists

The List data type can be compared with an array. The List type can only be used with fundamental types and represents a strongly typed list of values that can be accessed by index.

Therefore, you can have a List type of [Integer], but you cannot have a List type of [Blob].

A List data type doesn’t require you to define how many elements you want to store up front (while an Array data type does).

The List data type has some methods that are used frequently. The methods that are available for a List data type will discuss in a later post.

To create a list, use the following code:

CustomerNames: List of [Text];

To access an element in a list, use the following methods:

To store/add values to list

CustomerNames.Add(‘KSD Consultancy’);

CustomerNames.Add(‘Microsoft India’);

CustomerNames.Add(‘Ashwini Tripathi’);

To retrive values from list

CustomerNames.Get(1);

Dictionary

The Dictionary data type represents a collection of keys and values.

Every key that you create in this dictionary must be unique. The main benefit is that you can immediately get the value for a specific key.

The value can be a type, but it can also be a List or another Dictionary data type.

Blow code sequence will give you idea how to use dictionary data type:

//Declaring List

CustomerNamesIN: List of [Text];

CustomerNamesUS: List of [Text];

CustomerNamesCA: List of [Text];

//Declaring Dictionary

CountryWiseCustomer: Dictionary of [Code[20], List of [Text]];

//Assigning values to List

CustomerNamesIN.Add(‘KSD Consultancy’);

CustomerNamesIN.Add(‘Microsoft India’);

CustomerNamesIn.Add(‘Ashwini Tripathi’);

CustomerNamesUS.Add(‘Paul’);

CustomerNamesUS.Add(‘Linda’);

CustomerNamesCA.Add(‘Eddy’);

CustomerNamesCA.Add(‘Mark’);

//Assigning values to Dictionary

CountryWiseCustomer.Add(‘IN’,CustomerNamesIN);

CountryWiseCustomer.Add(‘US’,CustomerNamesUS);

CountryWiseCustomer.Add(‘CA’,CustomerNamesCA);

//Retrieving value from Dictionary

CountryWiseCustomer.Get(‘IN’).Get(1);

Here is the complete code:

Created new codeunit and declared variables & procedures to manipulate values in Collections.

Added Code to call procedures defined in codeunit, to assign and retrieve values from collections.

Now its time to check output of above code.

Hope you get idea how to work with Collections, you may find more posts in coming days where we may discuss about methods available for collection.

Cumulative Update 14 for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central October’18 on-premises (Application Build 38692, Platform Build 38637)

This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-premises deployments) for all countries and all language locales.

When you upgrade on-premises deployments to this update, you and your customers must use a new license that convers more scenarios than the one for the original release in October 2018.

Why this new license?

In cumulative update 1 (CU 1), we have enabled new licensing scenarios so that Business Central is optimized for licenses with named users. This was not fully supported in the RTM version that was made available on October 1, 2018, and that is why CU 1 requires a new license. You can pull new licenses when you upgrade customers to CU 1.

The new licenses are required for cumulative update 1 and later versions of Business Central and are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of Business Central.

What has changed?

With CU 1, Business Central supports the product line IDs 49, 74, 75, and 76 for named users. See Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Pricing and Licensing for more information.

This cumulative update includes all hotfixes and regulatory features that have been released for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, including hotfixes and regulatory features that were released in previous cumulative updates.

This cumulative update replaces previously released cumulative updates. You should always install the latest cumulative update.

It may be necessary to update your license after implementing this hotfix to gain access to new objects included in this or a previous cumulative update (this only applies to customer licenses).

Dynamics 365 2019 release wave 2

Ashwini Tripathi

Dynamics 365 Business Central: 2019 release wave 2 plan

The first Insider Builds for the Business Central 2019 release wave 2 just became available.

Features that are planned to release from October 2019 through March 2020.

For more information about the above-mentioned features, see the 2019 release wave 2 plan here.

This is also the very first Insider Build that does not include the Windows client (Dynamics NAV client connected to Business Central) as announced earlier.

More features will be unlocked soon along with more information for each one of them.

Dynamics 365 Business Central provides a complete business application solution designed and optimized for SMB organizations. Since its launch in April 2018, Dynamics 365 Business Central has seen increasing adoption by organizations looking to digitally transform their businesses. In the October ’18 update, we updated Business Central to include on-premises deployments as well. The latest version, the April ’19 update, brought an update to Business Central that improves the productivity of users.

The independent software vendor (ISV) ecosystem is important for customers who want vertical or horizontal solutions for Business Central. We will accelerate this ISV ecosystem to begin moving new and existing customers to Business Central online. To achieve that goal, the following development pillars define the 2019 release wave 2 update:

Service fundamentals: Laser focus on performance, reliability, supportability, and security is essential to ensure that service quality remains ahead of the growth in service usage. Accessibility, already in a strong position, must be preserved.

Modern client: With the 2019 release wave 2, users access Business Central in the browser, Windows 10 desktop app, mobile apps on Android and iOS, or in Outlook. We accelerate our investment in speed and productivity features for the modern browser experience, achieving a major milestone in its transformation into a world-class desktop experience for new and expert users alike. 2019 release wave 2 is the first version that does not include the Dynamics NAV Client connected to Business Central (also known as the Windows client). The modern clients now support so many productivity features that the Windows client is discontinued for Business Central going forward. The legacy Dynamics NAV client remains supported in the April ’19 update and earlier versions in alignment with the support lifecycle.

Modern developer tools: the 2019 release wave 2 is the first version that does not include the classic development environment (also known as C/SIDE). The modern developer experience based on Visual Studio Code with Azure DevOps, and an AL language that supports an extension-based approach to customization now supports developing large apps such as the base application from Microsoft, and so C/SIDE is discontinued for Business Central going forward. The classic development environment remains supported in the April ’19 update and earlier versions in alignment with the support lifecycle.

Empower ISV acceleration: The 2019 release wave 2 update delivers a set of features designed to simplify ISV development for new solutions and, specifically, for streamlining the migration from the source code customization model of Dynamics NAV to Business Central. The Dynamics NAV business has been driven by strong vertical ISV solutions, surrounded by add-on solutions. For the 2019 release wave 2 update, our focus will be streamlining the path for ISVs to bring their solutions—and in turn their customers—to Business Central online.

Customer migration tools: After enabling Dynamics NAV ISVs to bring their solutions to Business Central online, the next step is to simplify the journey for existing Dynamics SMB customers coming from Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, or Dynamics SL to migrate from their current on-premises solutions to Business Central online. A set of tools already exists; these will be enhanced with the 2019 release wave 2.

Limited extension to the Business Central online localizations is planned for the 2019 release wave 2 in order to prioritize the service fundamentals work ahead of expanding the service footprint. Additional partner-developed localizations will be added following the 2019 release wave 2.

New for wave 2: The Power Platform (PowerApps, Microsoft Flow, and Power BI) features coming in the 2019 release wave 2 have been summarized in a separate release plan.

Wave2ReleaseDates

Dynamics 365: 2019 release wave 2 plan

The 2019 release wave 2 enhances artificial intelligence capabilities to help organizations accelerate their transformation of customer service, sales, and marketing functions:

Sales Insights empowers teams with more foresight, to enhance productivity and better anticipate outcomes across the sales lifecycle.

Customer Service Insights provides an actionable view into critical performance metrics, operational data, and emerging trends using industry-leading artificial intelligence.

Virtual Agent for Customer Service enables organizations to create AI-powered bots that chat with customers and provides new opportunities for organizations to improve customer service through digital transformation.

Customer Insights enables every organization to unify and understand their customer data to harness it for intelligent insights and actions.

Market Insights enables business users to gather actionable insights based on what consumers say, seek, and feel about their brands and products.

Fraud Protection enables the e-commerce merchants to drive down fraud loss, increase bank acceptance rates to yield higher revenue, and improve the online shopping experience.

The 2019 release wave 2 continues to add a whole new set of experiences to enhance employee productivity using mixed reality:

Remote Assist empowers technicians to solve problems faster the first time.

Layout provides a new way for space planners to bring designs from concept to completion with confidence and speed.

Product Visualize empowers salespeople to convey the true potential of their products to their customers by harnessing the power of augmented reality on their mobile devices.

Guides is a mixed-reality application for Microsoft HoloLens that enables employees to learn in the flow of work by providing holographic instructions when and where they need them.

Power Platform: 2019 release wave 2 plan

The Microsoft Power Platform enables users and organizations to analyze, act, and automate on the data to digitally transform their businesses. The Power Platform today is comprised of three products – Power BI, PowerApps, and Flow.

For PowerApps, this release wave includes major improvements to enable app makers to build higher-quality apps more easily while still supporting more advanced enterprise and administrator requirements. Improvements in PowerApps focus not only on introducing capabilities but also on simplifying existing concepts to improve maker and end-user productivity in PowerApps and Dynamics 365 apps built upon the Unified Interface.

PowerApps makers can now create a powerful new type of experience called PowerApps Portals, which are web portals that surface data stored in Common Data Service to employees or users outside their organizations.

Microsoft Flow is introducing smarter and more powerful experiences in three key areas. Flow makers get smarter and more powerful experiences. End users of flows can leverage world-class business process capabilities, including working with business processes offline. Finally, there is now much richer tooling for administrators, such as PowerShell cmdlets and the new Power Platform Admin center.

AI Builder (preview) is a brand-new Power Platform capability for teams with the business expertise to easily automate processes and predict outcomes to improve business performance. AI Builder is a turnkey solution that brings the power of Microsoft AI through a point-and-click experience and is directly integrated into PowerApps and Microsoft Flow.

Power BI simplifies how organizations derive insights from transactional and observational data. It helps organizations create a data culture where employees can make decisions based on facts, not opinions. For the upcoming release, Power BI is investing in four key areas that drive a data culture: intuitive experiences, a unified BI platform, big data analytics, and pervasive artificial intelligence (AI).

Data integration provides built-in connectivity to the Power Platform and more, with data across hundreds of business systems, enabling rich and intelligent experiences. The Common Data Model provides semantic consistency for canonical business entities across Dynamics 365 and Common Data Service, increasing value and saving time for application developers, ISV partners, and integrators.

This release plan describes functionality that may not have been released yet. Delivery timelines and projected functionality may change or may not ship (see Microsoft policy).
