Advanced Alerts

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Functional

Do you want to set up the same Alerts for several users? Do you need to send Alerts to users or employees who are set in a field of a particular record, e.g. contact person on a sales order or purchase order?
The alert e-mail has been extended as well. It can contain any field values from the alert record.

Features

* Send Alerts not to just one, but many users at the same time with only one Alert rule.
* Alerts can be sent to AX-users, user groups, employees, and any e-mail recipient.
* Recipients can be set up on the Alert rule, or recipients can be extracted from an Alert or linked record field.
* Additional variables (placeholders) in the alert e-mail template can be populated with values from the Alert or a linked record.
* A separate e-mail template can be set up for each Alert rule.
* Only users with sufficient access rights can set up Advanced Alerts.

Examples of use

* Send Alerts to the sales responsible, the customer's contact person, any AX user, and additional e-mail recipients when the sales order ship date changes (see illustration on the right). Only one Alert rule is required!
* The purchase order responsible (orderer) can be notified automatically if the goods are not received on time. One Alert rule is sufficient for all orderers; amendment of the rule is not necessary when the purchasing department hires additional staff.
* Add the contact person name to e-mails sent to customers. The contact person name is automatically extracted from the sales order (see illustration on the right).

Bulk Data Modification

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Functional

With the "Bulk Data Modification" add-on, bulk data updates (modifications of large amounts of data) can be done in an efficient way. You do not need to be proficient in SQL nor use Excel as a helping tool. Any Dynamics AX user with the corresponding access rights can work with the Bulk Data Modification tool without any problems.

Features

* Security: The tool takes into account the field settings (active/inactive) of tables and masks and performs standard validations when modifying data. This ensures that the data cannot be modified by mistake. Other methods of bulk data modification do not include verifications and can thus easily generate corrupt data.
* Easy to use: Any Dynamics AX user can work with the tool. It is therefore not necessary to contact an AX administrator every time a large amount of data has to be changed.
* Access rights: It is possible and makes sense to restrict the access to the tool to certain users.
* The tool can be accessed from any mask through the function "Record information". The records filtered in the mask are modified. The number of records to be changed is shown in the modification mask.
* The values of each data type can be changed: numerical, text, date, time and selection (dropdown and checkbox)
* Calculations: Numerical values can be replaced or changed in relation to the existing value (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
* Text values can either be replaced or pre- or suffixed.
* If a field contains look-up or default values, only these values can be selected.
* Date values can be replaced or a new date can be calculated based on the existing one.
* If necessary, the record validation can be skipped.

Examples of use

* Price changes: Increase of the cost price in the item master by 2% by simply multiplying the existing price by 1.02 (see illustration).
* Modification of the price group in the customer master table for customers of a certain customer group
* Replacement of sales responsibles in all open sales orders

Report Mailer

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Functional

Have you ever sent reports as e-mail attachments directly from Dynamics AX (formerly Axapta) and would have liked to have a more user-friendly layout? Do you also think that the Outlook dialogue requiring you to confirm that the report e-mail is sent is unnecessary? Would you like your reports such as purchase orders and sales confirmations to be sent automatically?

Features

* The e-mail text can be defined by using e-mail templates. Thus you can create your own HTML e-mails with your individual content.
* For each report, there can be one template.
* E-mails are sent by either MAPI, extended MAPI (Outlook), CDO (SMTP) or .Net 2.0 mail (SMTP). With the SMTP option, the e-mails are sent directly through the mail server. In this case, Outlook does not have to be installed and the Outlook security dialogue will no longer be shown.
* If Lotus Notes is your e-mail client, e-mails can be sent through the Lotus Domino Server using one of the SMTP options.
* In the accounts payable and accounts receivable module, documents can rapidly and easily be sent to contact persons by e-mail without your having to modify the printer settings (see illustration).
* Lookup e-mail addresses in the print dialog, thus no manual search of e-mail recipients is required.

Examples of use

* Send sales confirmations to the e-mail address saved in the sales order or to the client's contact person rapidly and by simply ticking the corresponding box in the posting form.
* Design HTML e-mail templates for purchase orders, sales confirmations, invoices etc. in different languages. The language is chosen automatically according to the language of the report.
* Avoid the Outlook security dialogue by sending your e-mails by SMTP.

Select Last Record

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Functional

When opening a form, this add-on highlights the record that was selected before the form was closed. Thus, the user doesn't waste time finding the entry last edited. The function can be activated for each form individually.

Features

* Highlights the record that was selected before the form was closed.
* The opening of forms is not delayed if this add-on is activated.
* Each User can individually enable the Select Last Record mode per form.
* No form is modified, just two standard elements, therefore no problems arise when upgrading Dynamics AX.
* All forms whose main data source table has a unique field are supported.

Smart Query

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Functional

With the "Smart Query" add-on, records for which there are no records in the table attached can be found quickly in a very simple way (not exists join).
It is also possible to use placeholders to search in date fields. Date value filters in batch jobs can thus be set in relation to the execution date.
Queries can be saved for all users, thus the same query doesn't have to be created for every user.

Features

* Easy to use: The tool is integrated into the standard filter mask. For any linked table, the mode can be changed from „exists join" to „not exists join".
* The "not exists join" setting is saved, just as all other filter settings.
* Access rights: It is possible to restrict the access to the tool to certain users.
* Date filters with placeholders: Search for current date, beginning or end of current month, period, quarter or year. Search in relation to “placeholder date” (+- x days or months).
* In case of batch jobs, placeholders are saved in the query and replaced with the corresponding date in every run.
* Save queries for all users. All users can select these queries in addition their own saved queries.
* Select saved queries on the report dialog form; there's no need to open the query selection form.

Examples of use

* Find clients for which no contact person has been entered into the system (see illustration).
* Search for items without record in the bar code table.
* Fins items without stock on hand, or without transactions within a certain timeframe
* View sales orders without positions.
* Find suppliers from whom nothing has ever been ordered.
* Easy search for overdue deliveries (today -10 days) with placeholder “d-10..d”.
* Adding a filter to your favourites in order to display sales orders with delivery date up to “today +10 days” without having to modify the filter every day.
