Microsoft Dynamics AX2012 for Retail – Batch Number Customization

Rizz Khan

Issue Raised:

In Microsoft Dynamics Ax2012 Retail, items cannot be sold out with the Batch Id. If a Item is Batch-able, it cannot be consumed through POS.

Pre-req:

1) Retail must be confiqured

2) Retail SDK must be Installed

3) Visual Studio respective version for SDK customization

Solution:

Create a new blank operation button (Retail -> Setup->POS->ButtonGrid):

In my case I named as “BatchNumber“, this operation number is used by the blank operation class to catch the specific button click event.

buttonproperties

Add the Batch Id on the product grid layout (Retail -> Setup->POS->screen layout):

screenlayout

Run the Register job to reflect the change on the POS layout (Retail -> Channed integration -> Channed database)

channel-jobs

apply the job from download sessions.Once the job is applied, open the POS (respective store on which the job was run) and see the blank operation button is visible:

pos-layout

after the button is displayed, now its time to code behind the button.

Navigate Retail SDK and open the services project and go on the blank operation class and add the following code:

blank-operation

I added a new windows form in blank operation class to input the batch number,in my case I populate the dropdown(in the next blog I will demonstrate how to populate the INVENTBATCH  of POS database). you can take the textbox to give the batch Id and set “batchid = urTextBox.Text” in the above code.

the selected record on the product grid is get through the following piece of code:

SalesLineItem s = retailTransaction.GetItem(operationInfo.ItemLineId);

this is the item in which you need to give the batch Id.

build the code copy the dll and place it to the POS dll folder.

output

output-batch

Thanks,

Happy Daxing with Rizz 🙂

Download BlankOperation.dll

Note:

Dll must not be compatible for all the POS Versions. To use the code decompile it and use the code.

  1. Hi Rizvan,

    your blog is awesome but is it full, as I am not able to complete the setup which you have explain you in your blog.
    I am not a developer so I cannot work on coding so what you have mentioned in your screen shot I am following the same.

    can you email me your entire solution for this.
    it will be much appreciated.

    thanks & regards,

    1. Hi husain,

      As I have mentioned in the blog that you need to customize the blankoperation Dll for achieving the task and make sure if you are entering the batch number manually than it is ok but what if you need to have the dropdown selection as mention in the screenshot than you must follow the steps given in my other blog(https://dynamicsax.tech.blog/2016/11/30/sync-custom-table-from-ax-to-pos-db-retail-customization/) to sync batch number table (InventBatch) to POS DB.
      blank operation dll mailed to you.

      Thanks,

      I have updated my post with the dll link, you can have it from the provided link. And BatchIdDialog is not the out of the box class I added the windows form to get the input from user for the BatchId. In my case I am filling the dropdown control of the respective Item’s BatchIds.

      Thanks,

    1. Hi Mohammed,

      I don’t know what really you are trying to achieve but as according to my code its just the windows form design which contain the dropdown selection and ok button and which is initialized when the blank operation button is clicked. Connect with me over skype (rizwan.khan133) if you need to discuss any solution for your requirement.

      Thanks,
