Phys. Invt. Journal (‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’) and Configuration Package. This is just my idea how to add Items with Lot and Expired Data to 'Bins' (WHITE) location. As first step I create new company with No Data. Next point set Company Information \ User Experience = Premium. Default demo data in SaaS/Cloud version does not have WMS (‘Bins’) location [location WHITE]. We can use Predefined Configuration Package (GB.ENG.EXTENDED) for create necessary demo data.   === Predefined Configuration Packages are good examples. You could create master data with using GB.ENG.EXTENDED and GB.ENG.STANDARD packages. And even more.. GB.ENG.EVALUATION use ‘Processing Rules’ option and as result produce some posted documents. === Well, start import GB.ENG.EXTENDED package. // Wait 10-15 mins And next… Apply Package. // Wait 10-15 mins Oki. Master data in our company. // we have Items with “Unit Cost” on ‘Item Card’ and etc.. [Item ‘80216-T’, Unit Cost = 0.50] Set Company \ Display Name. Setup yourself as ‘Warehouse Employee’. Create new ‘Item Tracking Code’ (LOTALLWMS). Set Item (‘80216-T’) \ Item Tracking Code = LOTALLWMS.   Well, now find Whse. Phys. Invt. Journal and fill a dummy line (do not register this ‘Journal’). // I think good idea do not produce posted data directly… better fill ‘Journal’ and Post/Register ‘Journal’ manually… You see ‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’ does not have “Lot No.” and “Expiration Date” columns. We no need it for our example because we fill data via Excel. BUT you can add “Lot No.” via Personalise. For “Expiration Date” you need create an extension.

Delete our Dummy line. // ‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’ Import from Excel and Apply Package. Register ‘Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal’. Go to ‘Item Journal’ and run ‘Calculate Warehouse Adjustment’. Post ‘Item Journal’. Check ‘Item Tracking Entries’. Run ‘Post Inventory Cost to G/L’. Check ‘Chart Accounts’. Save our package. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai7WDb-9apd6gfxT6Fj2evu8BI1bDw  ]]> https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/alexef/update-app-extension-to-track-adjust-cost-item-entries-batch-job-elapsed-time-used-filters Wed, 28 Nov 2018 14:53:58 GMT https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/alexef/?p=4235 https://github.com/finn777/ALF_Tracker_for_Adjust_Cost_Item_Entries 28-Nov-2018 Today I’ve received message that my test SaaS tenant already updated to fresh [Update 20 (CU1)] build. // about setup e-mail for notification and etc.. read Business Central Admin Center: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/tenant-admin-center Well, my additional event ([Event Request] Report 795 Adjust Cost - Item Entries, OnAfterPreReport) now in real SaaS tenant.

Use for version 13.1 or higher: ===   As first step I need to create Dynamics 365 Business Central Development Sandbox Environment. More about Sandbox Environment https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-sandbox-overview I decide to use Azure VM (Container Sandbox). Use specific template for create Azure VM (need to have Azure subscription). Template link: https://aka.ms/BCSandboxAzure As result you should see on your Azure portal some VM: After running VM wait 30-40 mins… scripts are creating all necessary installs/tools, as result desktop should be like this: Well, now stop a bit and try to dream about what our application should do. App should save Start Time before run code in 'Adjust Cost - Item Entries' batch job and save End Time after run code in 'Adjust Cost - Item Entries' batch job. + would be great to save which the Item filters has been set for this batch job. And, of course we need to have some feature to build a bunch of documents (for sandbox only). This is allowing to us do some tests not for a few documents only. AL App/Extension based on events. We need to have some events in object Report 795 (Adjust Cost - Item Entries). More about events https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-events-in-al Microsoft has done (and it is doing continuously) work on adding events to the standard code base. If you see that standard code do not have necessary events just create new request (create new issue) via https://github.com/Microsoft/AL/issues (need to have GitHub account) Something like this: You could see 2 fresh requests for Report 795 events: In case if fresh event requests not yet include in Azure VM Sandbox Environment, you could just add events (use DEV license and Object Designer). All real SaaS tenants updates time-to-time and after some time period (~ a month or more) after GitHub request – real tenants should have your events and you could try to install your app on production. In my case I add fresh events via Object Designer: Well, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is not yet exposing all the controls that you’re used to have from Microsoft Dynamics NAV pages. In D365BC, many controls on pages are tagged with the #Advanced application area, that not active / not assigned today (September 2018). Most of the #Advanced controls will be exposed in a coming update, October 2018.

In search just type Users.. As result you should find User page…Check User permissions according company = ‘My Company’. If you see specific company (CRONUS DE) then just find which user is ‘Admin’ (this user has access to empty ('all') company, and in common case SUPER line in Permission Sets) then logon to CRONUS (under ‘Admin’) and set empty ('all') company assigned for the 'problem' user (this user initially has access for Cronus company only). Tips:

• Default set: SUPER is assigned to first user
• When you play with a few users… use browser In private mode, in such case you do not have 'cash reading' problem

Some pictures below:     One more idea from my colleague: If all looks good, most likely the license is suspended or has been altered. Some of our beloved customers remove the license from the global admin but that account is still listed as OK in BC. You can (again) go to CRONUS and press get Office 365 users (can’t remember how it is called, but is the first icon on the Ribbon), it will pick up latest license. Or, remove the license from the user and add it again. You do need a global admin for this. ]]> https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/alexef/how-to-add-a-field-to-item-card-in-business-central Tue, 22 May 2018 14:33:12 GMT https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/alexef/?p=2955   If we speak about an additional field/control...
