2. Serial number in production process AX2012 R3 Suggested Answer You need to turn off registration for this group - the batch number is created at physical update which in this case is the posting of RAF - not the registration - if you want these auto-created your item model group must not insist on registration first as the system cannot then.
3. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 also offers advanced Warehouse management and Transportation management capabilities Manufacturers can greatly benefit from. In the previous part we've identified a need to introduce greater degree of variability into the scenario, specifically, around handling different quantities and handling different products.

New features for AX 2012 R3

The following table outlines the features that were added in AX 2012 R3.

Module	What’s new
Call center	A new retail channel type is added: call center. In a call center, workers take customer orders over the phone and create sales orders. Call centers can be added to organization hierarchies, and can be managed together with online stores and retail stores. You can create catalogs for call centers, and use new catalog features. You can associate details with sales items. This feature lets you view additional information about the selected line in the sales order form, such as images, purchase order information, delivery dates, and other relevant text. You can create scripts that appear in the Sales order form at the time of order entry. You can prompt the clerk who enters sales orders to up-sell or cross-sell products. You can set up and manage continuity programs, in which customers receive regular product shipments on a predefined schedule. You can create orders from an item list, which is a saved list of products that customers frequently order together. You can track the status of a direct delivery purchase order via the associated sales order, and use the direct delivery workbench to create and release purchase orders for direct delivery. You can also specify products that are always sent to customers via direct delivery. You can perform full-text searches for products in the Sales order form. Precise control over pricing for call center sales orders is available. You can view the calculated margin values for broker royalties and rebates in the sales order form. Enhanced payment functionality can be used for call center orders. Default sales tax groups can be used to create and view default priorities for calculating sales tax groups. You can create coupons that can be applied to call center sales orders. Installment payments can be used in sales orders. Broker support is available. You can put sales orders on hold. You can set up an expedited shipping mode that can be applied to a sales order or sales order line. Automatic notification and cancellation for backorders is available. You can track sales order events. You can view detailed order status. You can attach notes to a customer, order, or order line. You can define letter templates that can be used to generate personalized customer communications. You can define fraud rules to warn call center workers about potential fraud situations. RFM analysis can be performed on customers. You can track customer statistics. Enhanced functionality for customer service is added. You can track customer cases. Sales history can be purged. For more information, see What's new: Call center features.
General ledger	You can transfer the opening balances for balance sheet accounts to a new fiscal year in multiple companies at the same time. The results of the accounting entries for stocked items on product receipts and vendor invoices are combined into one subledger journal entry and voucher. For more information, see What's new: General ledger features.
Inventory and warehouse management	The Compare item prices report lets you compare the prices in a costing version to the pending prices in another costing version, or to the active prices on an effective date. The posting routine in the BOM journal is redesigned and enhanced. The Inventory aging report displays the on-hand quantity, the inventory value, and the related aging periods for a selected item or an item group. You can use the report parameters to filter the data that is displayed on the report. For more information, see What's new: Inventory and warehouse management features.
Master planning	Demand forecasting is a set of tools that enable you to estimate future demand and create demand forecasts based on historical transaction data. The demand forecasting process includes the following tasks: Complete the prerequisite setup tasks before you can use demand forecasting. Create a baseline forecast from historical demand data that is gathered and loaded in a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services cube. Open the demand forecast file, and use the PivotTable tools in Excel to filter and display the forecast data that is stored in the cube. Optional: Make manual adjustments to the forecasted quantities in the demand forecast file. Import a demand forecast to Microsoft Dynamics AX so specific companies and forecast models can use the forecast data as input to master planning. Optional: Calculate the accuracy of past demand forecasts against past actual demand to improve forecast accuracy. Optional: Remove outliers from the historical data to improve demand forecast accuracy. You can specify whether a customer forecast is included in the overall forecast. This setting determines how actual demand reduces the forecasted demand. You can use this setting to ensure that master planning covers the supply of items that are purchased by specific customers. You can select the start time to schedule production orders. The start time can be the start of the calendar work day or the current time. The current time option is used with the delivery date control and capable to promise (CTP) feature. For more information, see What's new: Master planning features.
Microsoft Dynamics ERP RapidStart Services	For more information, see What's new in Microsoft Dynamics ERP RapidStart Services.
Procurement and sourcing	You can create your own solicitation types for requests for quotation (RFQs). This feature lets you match the procurement requirements for your organization. You can filter on those categories to find documents more easily. You can define sets of scoring criteria and scoring methods that can be used to evaluate bids (RFQ replies). You can allow vendors to provide alternate items or services, so that you can be notified of better alternatives or changes to a requested item or service. Each line in an RFQ is assigned a number. You can add items and renumber the list as you require. The numbers appear in all the RFQ-related documents. You can quickly add vendors for your RFQ who are approved for selling at least one of the categories on the RFQ lines. You can create and administer a questionnaire by collecting questions from other users, by attaching one or more questionnaires to an RFQ at the header level, or by requiring vendors to complete the questionnaire as part of the reply. After you issue an RFQ, you can make changes or updates. You can also add attachments, provided that no replies have been registered. You can communicate these changes through the Vendor portal to keep prospective bidders aware of updates. You can hold a requisition from further processing and indicate the reason for the hold, so that you can better manage requisitions and communicate status. You can specify that bids are sealed until the solicitation closing date. These bids are hidden until bid tabulation starts. You can publish your RFQ to the public Vendor portal, so that unregistered vendors can see it. All lines on the RFQ are also sent to the vendors that are selected in the RFQ. The following features are new for Enterprise Portal for Microsoft Dynamics AX. If the requester allows this, all vendors can submit an alternate item on an RFQ and provide a reason for the alternate. All vendors can enter a charge on the RFQ reply line, in addition to the quantity and unit price. Customers can now include a questionnaire with the RFQ and require that you fill out the questionnaire as part of your bid. Customers can change the content of an RFQ after they send it. You can view the changes, and any attachments, on the Amendments FastTab in the RFQ. Public sector vendors that are not yet registered on the Vendor portal can access a public, non–claims-aware site as a 'guest,' so that they can view publicly available documents, such as lists of open RFQs and purchase orders. Note This control is available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected. Public sector vendors can view all open and closed purchase orders, RFQs, and their details. These details include scoring and award notes on accepted bids. Note This control is available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected. Public sector vendors can request to reply to RFQs that have been published to the Open requests for quotations list page, even if they have not been included as a vendor in the RFQ. Note This control is available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected. For more information, see What's new: Procurement and sourcing features.
Production control	A new option for automating material reservations has been added to the Reservation field in the Production orders form, where the value is set for a specific production order. A new option has also been added to the Production control parameters form, where the default value is specified. In the Reservation field, if you select Release, all materials are reserved when the production order is released. For more information, see What's new: Production control features.
Project management and accounting	You can create an on-account billing rule type that is based on the milestones that you specify in the billing rule. You can create fee transactions and modify the sales price of lines in an invoice proposal. For more information, see What's new: Project management and accounting features.
Public Sector	You can publish a request for quotation (RFQ) to the public Vendor portal, so that unregistered vendors can view it. Public sector vendors can view all open and closed purchase orders, RFQs, and their details. For more information, see What's new: Public sector features.
Retail	The call center is a new channel type that you can set up in the Retail module. The Catalogs form contains functionality that is available to users who are associated with a call center. Enhanced usability of info codes by using info code groups is added. Enhanced functionality for printing product labels and shelf labels is available. Gift card enhancements are added. You can group and package individual products in one sellable unit or product kit. Cashiers can disassemble or reconfigure kits at the point of sale. Cashiers can sell, return, or exchange kit products at the point of sale. The Retail loyalty program has been completely redesigned. Cashiers can issue loyalty cards at the point of sale. Enhancements for maintaining channel product attributes are added. You can set up filters to improve searches for retail channel products. IT staff can configure screen layouts for Modern POS. Customer accounts can be accessed by retail channels across all locations. You can set up affiliations and their discounts. You can set up threshold discounts. You can specify category-based pricing to more easily manage pricing for many products at the same time. You can use price groups to more easily create and manage prices and discounts for retail products. You can view detailed information about discount transactions. Enhancements to buyer’s push are added. Enhancements to cross-docking are added. In Retail essentials, you can schedule the periodic export of accounting information, so that this information can be used by a third-party accounting program. You can specify that returned products are assigned to different return locations in inventory, depending on the cashier’s response to info codes that are displayed at the point of sale. You can determine and plan a top-down trade fund. You can set up vendor rebates. You can manage your trade fund budgets so that they include specific merchandise, promotion dates, and monetary values. You can set up rebates that include deductions. By using royalty payment management, you can create an agreement between a licensee and a licensor. You can then manage payments between the two parties. For more information, see What's new: Retail features.
Sales and marketing	You can now also register serial numbers during the sales process when you prepare the packing slip or the invoice for a sales order. You can register serial numbers on the packing slip or invoice either by entering them manually or by using a scanner. The following list illustrates some of the scenarios that this feature is intended for: Registering serial numbers for items on sales orders on the packing slip or invoice. Customer pickup of sales orders with serialized items. Partial delivery and invoicing of sales orders with serialized items. Correcting packing slips and invoices with serialized items. Returning serialized items. Tracing the history of orders that include serialized items. For more information, see What's new: Sales and marketing features.

6. Click Yes to confirm that you want to shut down the environment.

When the environment has been shut down, the Deployment Status column will display Stopped. You may need to refresh your browser to see this.

Note

If you stop an environment from the Cloud-hosted environments page—and then restart the virtual machines in that environment by using the Azure management portal—the details about that environment won’t be available on the Cloud-hosted environments page. For example, you won’t see links to the virtual machines in the environment, or user names and passwords for accounts used in the environment. To resolve this issue, restart the environment by completing the procedure in the following section.

Previously, Cloud-hosted environments lacked static IP addresses. When VMs were restarted, new IP addresses were assigned, and as a result, DNS settings becoming invalid. Because of this issue, we did not shut down the SQL and RDS tiers when an environment was stopped. By setting all IP addresses to be static, we help ensure that you won’t have issues when stopping/starting environments. Stopping an environment will now shut down all tiers. We do not expect the stop/start feature to be used on high availability topologies that are actually used in production; however, we do anticipate that the feature will be used when you want to test a high availability topology prior to going live with your production deployment.

How do I restart an environment?

If you want to restart an AX 2012 R3 environment that has been shut down, complete the following procedure.

1. Log on to Lifecycle Services.
2. Select your project.
3. Click Cloud-hosted environments.
4. Select the environment that you want to restart. This environment will currently have a status of Stopped in the Deployment Status column.
5. Click the Start (triangle) icon near the top of the page.

How do I delete an environment?

When you deploy an environment via the Cloud-hosted environment tool, a set of virtual machines, virtual networks, storage accounts, and databases are deployed to your Azure subscription. When you delete an environment, those resources are deleted. Data backup services are not automatically provided by Lifecycle Services at this time; therefore, you should take the proper actions to backup and secure important data before you delete your environment. To delete an environment, you must be the Project Owner (highest privileged role), or the Environment Owner.

• Deallocate - This option appears on the details page for each deployed environment, and is the first step in deleting an environment. This phase stops and deallocates (so there are no usage charges) all VM resources. No other resources, such as networks, VIPS, endpoints, storage, and databases are impacted. When you click Deallocate, you will be asked whether you want to continue. If you continue with the process, the status of the environment will change to Deallocating while the VM resources are deallocated. This process will take some time, depending on the size of the environment. Once complete, the status of the environment will change to Delete Pending. At this point, if you mistakenly selected Deallocate, you can recover the environment with nothing being lost or changed. To recover the environment, click Start at the top of the details page.
• Delete - Selecting this option will permanently delete all deployed Azure resources for the environment, and remove references to the environment from the Lifecycle Services project. When you click Delete, you will be asked whether you want to continue, and if so, you must enter the name of the project that you’re deleting. The exact name, with exact casing must be provided to proceed. Once entered, the status of the environment will change to Deleting while all Azure resources are deleted for this environment.

Keep in mind, when you deployed the environment, you may have added it to an existing Active Director/virtual network. Deleting an environment does NOT delete any resource that the Cloud-hosted environment tool did not deploy.

Note

When a Lifecycle Services project is connected to an Azure subscription, a storage account is created in the subscription. This storage account acts as a cache of both VHD and script artifacts associated with all environments that are deployed from that project. In some cases, the VHDs and scripts that are in the storage account are shared among environments. As a result, the Deallocate/Delete operations do not affect this shared storage account. When a deployment is performed with Azure Premium Storage, an additional storage account is created specifically for those VMs and their associated disks. When the environment is deleted, the resources that are stored in the storage account will be deleted; however, the storage account itself will not be deleted because it is a project-level resource.

How do I delete a Lifecycle Services project and its Azure artifacts?

To delete a Lifecycle Services project, including all of the Azure artifacts that were created when you deployed AX 2012 R3 environments from the project, complete the following procedures.

1. Identify the storage account that is associated with the project

Complete the following procedure to identify the Azure storage account that is associated with the Lifecycle Services project that you want to delete. You won’t delete the storage account in this procedure, but you will identify the GUID of the storage account. This GUID will help you identify other, related Azure artifacts that need to be deleted.

1. Log on to the Azure management portal.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, click Virtual Machines. The Virtual machines page is displayed.

3. Use the information in the Name and Location columns to identify a virtual machine that is associated with an AX 2012 R3 environment in the project. There may be multiple virtual machines associated with the project; however, you just need to select one.

   Note

   To make sure that you’ve identified an appropriate virtual machine, compare the name that you see on this page with the name of the virtual machine that is listed on the Cloud-hosted environments page in Lifecycle Services.

4. Click the arrow next to the name of the virtual machine.

5. Click Dashboard at the top of the page.

6. Scroll down to the Disks section of the page.

7. View the information in the VHD column. Take note of the GUID. This GUID will help you identify other related artifacts. A URL may look similar to this: https://dyn<GUID>.blob.core.windows.net/dynamicsdeployments...

2. Delete the environments in the project

Delete the AX 2012 R3 environments that exist in the project. For instructions, see the section in this topic, How do I delete an environment?

3. Delete the image files that were used to create virtual machines

Complete the following procedure to delete image files. These image files were used to create the virtual machines for the AX 2012 R3 environments in the Lifecycle Services project.

Note

If AX 2012 R3 demo environments were the only type of environments deployed from this project, there may be no image files to delete.

1. Log on to the Azure management portal.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, click Virtual Machines. The Virtual machines page is displayed.
3. Click Images at the top of the page.
4. Sort the list of images by clicking on the Name column.

   1. Select the row of the image file by clicking in the Status field of that row.

      Note

      Be sure that you don’t click in the Name field of that row. If you do, a different page is displayed.

   2. Click Delete at the bottom of the page.
   3. Select the Delete the associated VHD option.

4. Delete VHD files from the storage account

There are several artifacts that get saved to the storage account associated with each Lifecycle Services project. The largest files are copies of the VHD files that were used to create the virtual machines for the AX 2012 R3 environments in the Lifecycle Services project. (These are copies of the VHD files that you deleted in the previous procedure.) You can’t delete a storage account if it contains any VHD files. Complete the following procedure to delete VHD files from the storage account.

1. Log on to the Azure management portal.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, click Storage. The Storage page is displayed.
3. Identify the storage account that is associated with your project by viewing the information in the Name column.
4. Click the arrow next to the name of the storage account.

How is the Azure Internal Load Balancer used?

Test and high availability environments utilize Azure Internal Load Balancer (ILB) around RPC (2712) and WCF ports (8101, 8201) for client components. This allows for high availability in case an instance is down. Azure has a polling method that by default checks every 15 seconds—and—after 2 failures, it removes that node from the ILB. How Microsoft Dynamics AX utilizes ILB is via a Windows hosts file (C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts). An entry is created with a virtual name (AOSLoadBalancer) and an IP address is assigned (10.1.1.4). From there, the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Configuration is set to AOSLoadBalancer. With the use of Azure PowerShell scripts, ILB is set for 2712, 8101, and 8201 for each AOS instance. Keep in mind that when new AOS instances are added (by using the edit button in Lifecycle Services), these PowerShell scripts are executed to incorporate the new AOS instances being added.

How do I set up Remote Desktop access via Corpnet connected users?

Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2012 Manual

If you want users to use Remote Desktop via tunneled access to the Azure Virtual Network, you will need to configure Remote Desktop Services (RDS) in your deployment to enable it. When RDS is deployed by using Lifecycle Services, an Azure Internal Load Balancer endpoint is created for the RDS Connection Broker VMs deployed.

1. The Azure Internal Load Balancer endpoint created by Lifecycle Services can be found in the details pane of the Cloud-Hosted Environments page in Lifecycle Services. Specifically, it is the endpoint domain specified by the link “RDS Farm Access”. It will appear like this: RDSFarm#####.domain.com
2. Obtain the IP address created for this domain by opening http://manage.windowsazure.com in a browser and logging into your subscription. Open Cloud Services and click the Cloud Service name associated with the RDS machines. Locate the RDS* VM IP that is an internal IP (eg. 10.1.3.4) with port 3389. This is the IP of the Azure Internal Load Balancer associated with the RDSFarm###.domain.com address.
3. Set up the appropriate routing and DNS entries for your users on the corporate network to reach that domain name/IP/load balancer. Once that is done, the users will be able to use Remote Desktop access from the corporate network.
