I have recently found an interesting article about using .NET Microsoft.Dynamics.Commerce.Runtime.Services.PricingEngine.PricingEngine to calculate the price and discount for an order: (https://community.dynamics.com/365/financeandoperations/b/kurthatlevik/posts/dax2012-r3-playing-with-retail-crt)
I modified the author's code by adding these two lines at the end of the job to get the total amount and the total number of items of the order (off course, I already changed my ItemId and InventDimId to values which are suitable with my AX 2012 R3 system):
Price = crtSalesTransaction.get_TotalAmount();
qty = crtSalesTransaction.get_NumberOfItems();
All I received are 0s.
I tried to check the MS document about the class, but the information there is quite limited (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/appuser-itpro/pricingengine-methods-microsoft-dynamics-commerce-runtime-services-pricingengine). I also tried all other related methods of the class Microsoft.Dynamics.Commerce.Runtime.DataModel.SalesTransaction, but no luck. So I'm quite confused. Does the code need something more or is it a bug of AX? Could someone give me a hint?
Thank you.

It's probably the simplest thing in the world but I can't seem to add/sum/calculate tables in App Maker. I have attached an image of the App preview. I will try to keep this simple. The page has 3 data sources as follows:
Apex_customer_po - This is where our employee's input customer purchase orders including the PO number (string), the overall value of the PO (number), and the details (string)
Apex_customer_po_wo_details - Purchase orders are often broken up by our customer in to multiple work orders (WO), a task break down each with it's own values including Date (date), WO number (string), WO amount (number), details (string)
Apex_customer_po_wo_costing - This is where we keep track of what work we've done and how much of each work order's money we've used. The fields include a reference number(string), parts price (number), Part details (string), Labour hrs (number), Labour rate (number), Total labour (number), and Invoice total (number), Overall total of all invoices for the work order (number)
My data relations are as follows:
Apex_customer_po
Apex_customer_po_wo_details (One Apex_customer_po to Many Apex_customer_po_wo_details)
Apex_customer_po_wo_costing (One Apex_customer_po_wo_details to Many Apex_customer_po_wo_costing)
Shows the general configuration of the PO app preview mode. I includes 2 work orders each with their associated invoices
Shows the general configuration of the Layout view of the app page
I have figured out how to calculate the cost of my labour:
#datasource.item.Labour_total = #datasource.item.Labour_time * #datasource.item.Labour_rate
I have figured out how to calculate the total of each invoice:
#datasource.item.Invoice_total = #datasource.item.Parts_amount + (#datasource.item.Labour_time * #datasource.item.Labour_rate)
But I can't for the life of me figure out how to 'Add / Sum / Total / Calculate' the individual invoices from each Work Order to get a total value.
I've tried unsuccessfully to use reduce and a bunch of other methods, but I can't ever seem to get the syntax correct even on basic 1+1 type calculations. I don't have much experience in app maker but I've been doing fine and loving it... until now.
Update 001:
I have managed to get a reduce function to perform a simple table addition for me based off the following blog post. blog.supportgroup.com/google-app-maker-cold-calculations - And the ball is rolling again. Now I need to rework how my data sources are set-up changing the numbers to strings –
Update 002:
I managed to get the reduce function to work in my app. However it totals the values from the selected cells across the data source. For example I have a PO, lets call it PO#1 and there are 5 items that total $5. When I start a new PO#2, it carries over the total of PO#1. So it calculates the entire data source regardless of the fact that it's 2 different PO#'s and I don't know how to make it stop. The code I have used is as follows
#datasource.item.Total = getFormatMoney((#datasources.Apex_customer_po_wo_costing.items).reduce((b,a) => Number(a.Parts_amount) + (Number(a.Labour_rate) * Number(a.Labour_time))+ Number(b) , 0 ),2,",",".")
The getFormatMoney(),2,",",".") is a client side java script that formats the currency
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
UPDATE 003:
I am now trying to do this in a different way with a calculated Data source and I am following this tutorial:
YouTube 7.33min long - Totals in Drive Tables tutorial
I have re-created the app step by step but I am getting the following error regarding my SQL query code:
E Mon Nov 18 13:38:49 GMT-700 2019 Exception: Malformed SQL. More

My code in my data source is as follows:
var totals = {wholesale:0, retail:0, profit:0};
var records = app.models.autos.newQuery().run();
records.forEach(function( item ){
totals.wholesale += item.wholesale;
totals.retail += item.retail;
totals.profit += (item.retail - item.wholesale);
});
var record = app.models.totals.newRecord();
record.wholesale = totals.wholesale;
record.retail = totals.retail;
record.profit = totals.profit;
return [record];
Anyone have any thoughts on what the mistake is?
Update 004
Success - The data source type needed to be a "Calculated" type not a "Calculated SQL". Now I am going to see if I can apply this new type of calculation to my existing problem.
It seems like the way to go on this is the calculated model route the tutorial I linked in Update 003 is a solid path to go down.
For this report, I need one field (Sales Code) to only show if it has been updated. Periodically they change Sales code and I want a report to show the prior code along side the new code when it changes. Along with its part number and so on.
I was wondering the best way to go about tackling this request.
I tried to do _add_days -1 and compare the Sales code --> Sales code1. I dont think that will give me what I am looking for.
For example Sales code changes from AA --> AB.
I want to see New CODE OLD Code Part Number and so on...
AB AB 12345
The pattern you are encountering is called a slowly changing dimension.
Here's a wee free primer.
https://www.kimballgroup.com/2013/02/design-tip-152-slowly-changing-dimension-types-0-4-5-6-7/
You don't mention the structure of the data you're working with so it would be quite difficult for me to say what type you have other than the fact that you're trying to track historical data and seem to have it captured somehow rules out type 0.
Because of that, I can't come down from Mount Sinai with the solution but this can help you start to think through the problem.
In Framework manager have the modeler design the fields for SalesCode and SalesCode1
To only show if there was a change
Add a detail filter:
SalesCode <> SalesCode1
To control the context of time, have a separate filter like:
[Sales Date] between ?FromDate? and ?ToDate?
Can anyone tell me which method to put a Query Range into for a class which is batchable?
I have a sample batch class, which runs fine. It retrieves all the records in the Sales Table. I know that I need to add a QueryBuildRange object somewhere, then set the value of the range to a particular value (e.g. Sales ID = 00123456), but I'm not sure what method to put it in (main? Run? QueryRun? InitQuery?)
Thanks for your help!
It depends on what you're wanting to do, but in AX 2009 for batch, you can look at InventCountCreate_Base for an example of how Microsoft does it.
Specifically these two methods:
\Classes\InventCountCreate_Base\new
\Classes\InventCountCreate_Base\initQueryRun
Microsoft does it several different ways. You can see an alternative method in WMSShipmentReservationBatch in these two methods:
\Classes\WMSShipmentReservationBatch\main
\Classes\WMSShipmentReservationBatch\buildQueryRun
This happens in Accounts Payable -> Journals -> Payments -> Payment Journal.
I choose to see the Lines for a journal and from Functions I select Settlement. I am not sure if this is the same for everyone else.
So, when clicking Settlement, VendOpenTrans opens. I need to iterate over it, and Mark the records according to the invoice of the previously selected LedgerJournalTrans field.
First of all I have to check the VendOpenTrans fields which I am not able to accomplish.
I have added the following piece of code in the init of VendTransOpen:
VendTrans vt;
vt = vendTransOpen_ds.getFirst(true) as VendTrans ;
while (vt)
{
//Do your thing
vt= vendTransOpen_ds.getNext() as VendTrans ;
}
No elements seem to be present in the vendTransOpen_ds..
Can someone give me a hint about this?
Update 1:
Found this :
Understanding the Settlement Mechanism in Microsoft Dynamics AX
and
Automatic mark a Settlement Transactions on a Payment Journal in AX 2012
I didn't think it would be so damn difficult.. I will start digging tomorrow.
Several things are wrong, but probably my #2 is your main problem.
If you place this code in the init method, the query hasn't been executed yet, so nothing will be there. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa608211.aspx
Your code will never enter while (vt) because vt will never have a value as written because VendTrans and VendTransOpen are two different tables that don't support inheritance.
The only reason vt = vendTransOpen_ds.getFirst(true) as VendTrans ; doesn't throw an error is because FormDataSource.getFirst()/getNext() returns a Common table record.
What Jan said too.
First off, use getFirst(0) before using getNext().
The zero indicates you want all records rather than marked.
Search, use cross reference tool, or google to get lots of references for the use of these functions.
I've been instructed to create a customization on how the Unit Price (Purchline.PurchPrice) is calculated.
Right now when I'm creating a new purchase order and select an item, it simply pulls from the pricing from the released products for that particular item.
For my customization, I'm going to be using 3 variables to determine the pricing.
1: ItemId
2: Current Session Date
3: Customized Field in the Purchase Header
As such, I'll need access to purchline for the ItemId on the current line, and access to purchtable to access my field in the header.
Right now there is a big process for how the pricing gets pulled from released products, how the system checks for discounts, etc.
My question is, can anyone suggest the best class/location to check and modify where my final PurchPrice field gets set and inserted into purchline?
I need this to be basically the last part of the process of how this PurchPrice gets calculated. I've looked around in the PriceDisc & PriceConvert classes, SalesPurchLine map, the modified method of the ItemId field of the form.
AxPurchline doesn't seem to be triggering at all when I put breakpoints in them and create new purchase order lines.
Any help, insight or advice on where it would be the best to make logic changes for the PurchPrice field would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
The table Purchline actually has a method called setPriceDisc where the price agreement is set and the line amount is adjusted.
This seems to be the last place where PurchLine.PurchPrice is set.
