Number Sequence Generation – AX 2012

How to Create/Add a New Number Sequence in AX 2012.

Step1:  Create a new Extended Data Type. As shown in the below screen shot

Step2:  Add the Created EDT in the table.

Create a new table and add the create EDT from the step1 to the table

Step 3: Add the numRef<name> method in which module this belongs to.

For example, let say this belongs to Account Receivable Module, so add it the CustParameters table.

Following is the method needs to be added.

Step 4: Need to add the code in the class “NumberSeqModule<Module Name> “method “loadModule”.

So in our case the class is “NumberSeqModuleCustomer” à load Module ().

Step 5:  Create a new form with the data source in the step 2, as shown in the below.

As shown in the above screen shot the following methods needs to be included in the form.

Below is the code that needs to added ..

Forms\ExampleNumSeq\Methods\numberSeqFormHandler()

NumberSeqFormHandler numberSeqFormHandler()

{

    if (!numberSeqFormHandler)

    {

        numberSeqFormHandler = NumberSeqFormHandler::newForm(CustParameters::numRefNumSeqId().NumberSequenceId,

                                                             element,

                                                             ExampleNumSequence_DS,

                                                             fieldNum(ExampleNumSequence, NumSeqId)

                                                            );

    }

    return numberSeqFormHandler;

}

Forms\ExampleNumSeq\Data Sources\ExampleNumSequence\Methods\create()

public void create(boolean _append = false)

{

    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceCreatePre();

   

    super(_append);

   

    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceCreate();

}

  

Forms\ExampleNumSeq\Data Sources\ExampleNumSequence\Methods\write()

public void write()

{

    super();

    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceWrite();

}

Forms\ExampleNumSeq\Data Sources\ExampleNumSequence\Methods\validateWrite()

public boolean validateWrite()

{

    boolean ret;

    ret = super();

    ret = element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceValidateWrite(ret) && ret;

    return ret;

}

Forms\ExampleNumSeq\Data Sources\ExampleNumSequence\Methods\delete

public void delete()

{

    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceDelete();

    super();

}

Forms\ExampleNumSeq\Data Sources\ExampleNumSequence\Methods\linkActive

public void linkActive()

{

    element.numberSeqFormHandler().formMethodDataSourceLinkActive();

    super();

}

  

Step 6:

Go to Account Receivable à setup àAccounts Receivable parameters, open the form and go to number sequence, over there check Number Sequence Id is listing or not.

In AX 2009, after doing with the above 4 steps it list in the parameters of the accounts receivable.

But in AX 2012 a job needs to run to show in the parameters of the accounts receivable.

Below is the job needs to run…

After running the job, go to Account Receivable à setup àAccounts Receivable parameters form, it show the newly created one as below.

Step7: Once In the parameters form, it is shown need to assign the number sequence code. To assign the number sequence code need to generate the code for it by wizard or it can be created manually.

Go to Organization Administration à Number Sequence àNumber Sequence

A wizard will be opened, click on next button over there, it show the number sequence code for the one which create in the above, below is the screen shot

Click next and Finish button to complete wizard.

Open the forms which created in the step 5 and create the new record in the form it will generate the new number sequence, below is the screen shot.
