Free text invoice in Dynamics Ax 2012 R3

A common question arises in my mind that such a detail sales order invoiced exists then why we need free text invoice. I found two detail answers with reference

A free text invoice is an invoice that is not attached to a sales order. A free text invoice contains a header and one or more lines for items or services that are not tracked in inventory. Use a free text invoice for sales that do not require a sales order, packing slip, and customer invoice. For example, you can use a free text invoice for a consulting fee or services fee, or for a miscellaneous fee for an event reimbursement.

and

A free text invoice is not related to a sales order. It contains order lines that include ledger accounts, free-text descriptions, and a sales amount that you enter. You cannot enter an item number on this kind of invoice. You must enter the appropriate sales tax information.  Also, the customer balance is posted to the summary account from the posting profile that is used for the free text invoice.

In addition,  a free text invoice line can be used to sell a quantity of any kind of goods, services, or rights – providing unit price and quantity information to the customer. It also helps basic amount calculation, and it helps to better identify and explain charges to customers.

Account number for transaction type Sales order revenue does not exist - AX 2012

Solution: If you've eliminated setup issues relating to the Item's configuration then the next step is to check for incomplete or missing configuration of the Chart of Accounts.

Navigate to: General Ledger > Setup > Chart of Accounts > Configure Account Structures and identify where the Sales Order Revenue Account is defined on this form. More likely than not, you will find that this GL account has not been included in any of the listed account structures. Note that this form is a new feature in AX2012 so it's possible that the configuration hasn't been completed.

What appears to be happening is that Dynamics AX2012 correctly identifies which Revenue Account to use for posting the Sales Invoice but cannot find an appropriate entry on the account structures form for this ledger account. In my opinion, the error message could do with being expanded so that users would be able to pin down the root cause.

Symptoms

This problem occurs if the sales order invoice or the free text invoice contains sales tax.

This problem occurs if one or more of the following conditions are true:

• No ledger account is specified in the Sales tax payable field of the ledger posting group that the invoice uses.

1. Click General ledger, expand Setup, expand Sales tax, and then click Ledger posting groups.

Creating and starting a production order using X++ on Dynamics AX 2012

01	static void _CreateProductionOrder(Args _args)
02	{
03	ProdQty qty = 100;
04	ItemId item = 'youritemid';
05
06	ProdTable prodtable;
07	InventTable inventTable;
08	InventDim inventDim;
09	;
10
11	// Initialize InventTable using the item
12	inventTable = inventTable::find(youritemid);
13
14	// Initialize the base values using the previous initialized inventtable.
15	prodtable.initValue();
16	prodtable.initFromInventTable(inventTable);
17
18	prodtable.ItemId = inventTable.ItemId;
19	prodtable.DlvDate = today();
20	prodtable.QtySched = qty;
21	prodtable.RemainInventPhysical = qty;
22
23	// Initialize InventDim, using again the inventtable (Obrigatory)
24	inventDim.initFromInventTable(inventTable);
25
26	// Set the active BOM and Route, this in order to create the correspondind BOM lines and coproducts. Also to asign resources
27	prodtable.BOMId = BOMVersion::findActive(prodtable.ItemId,
28	prodtable.BOMDate,
29	prodtable.QtySched,
30	inventDim).BOMId;
31
32	prodtable.RouteId = RouteVersion::findActive(prodtable.ItemId,
33	prodtable.BOMDate,
34	prodtable.QtySched,
35	inventDim).RouteId;
36
37	// Initialize the BOMVersion
38	prodtable.initBOMVersion();
39	// Initialize RouteVersion
40	prodtable.initRouteVersion();
41
42	//Use ProdTableType class to create the production order
43	prodtable.type().insert();
44
45
46	} The code is fairly simple, it starts with the inventTable, and from there it searches for the BOM version and the route for the production order using the prodtable and the InventDim, with all set we just have to use the type().insert() method so the required InventTrans transactions are also created. Next let’s see how to start the production order, this is fairly simple too, we will use the following code:  X++ |   copy code | ?   1 void startProdOrder(args _args) 2 { 3 ProdTable _prodTable; 4   5 _prodTable = ProdTable::find(YOURPRODUCTIONORDER); 6 _prodTable.autoUpdate(ProdStatus::StartedUp); 7 } So first we initialize the production order, next we call the autoUpdate method, and we set the status we want, just take note that even if you can send any enum value as a parameter it won’t work if the order is beyond started. Hope you like it!
