Create number sequence in D365

Today I will be discussing about how to create custom number sequence in D365. Number sequence framework in 2012 and AX7 is quite similar . In AX 2012 we can customize existing classes like NumberSeqApplicationModule but in AX7 we need to extend those classes in order to work on its different methods.
Scenario : Let' s say whenever we place a order for any item we need to generate a unique and sequential order id for it. So for this purpose I will be using number sequence framework.
Below are the steps which are required to be followed for creating number sequence.

1. Created a new project with name Order Management Number Sequence










2. Create a new EDT. Right click on your project, add new item, Select EDT String and give it name as “OrderNumberId”.

























3. Create a new class NumberSequenceModuleProcureAndSourcing and extend it with NumberSeqApplicationModule. Override/Add following methods in it.

a) initializeReference









b) loadModule











c) numberSeqModule








d) buildModulesMapSubscriber





e) numRefOrderNumberId






4. Create a new job and add below mentioned code in it. I have created a new class namely OrderIdNumberSequence and executed it by setting as startup object.









After running job below is its output








5. Run the wizard by using following navigation – Organizational administration -> Common Forms -> Number Sequences-> Number Sequences-> Generate -> Run the wizard

6. Create a job and add below mentioned code in it. It will generate a new number sequence.
Note:  I have used previously created job.











7. Build project and execute the job.

Final output : New number sequence for order id created successfully
