SQL Query for calculating Average Cost Price Unit from InventSum table

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by RizwanAkbarMalik

Dear All,

I am a BI architect and i don't have much knowledge of X++ methods. I need to calculate the Average Cost Price that is being shown at the Onhand inquiry. The value is being shown by a display method in InventSum table i.e. InventSum.AverageCostPriceUnit(). I need to write a SQL query to calculate the cost as I dont know much about X++. Could anyone help me write a query or advise a simple solution so that i can get the avg cost price using SQL. If anyone can help me with which tables are involved and what will be the logic then i can write the query myself. Thanks in advance.

    Hi

    Replicate the Business logic outside AX isn't the best practice.

    So, you have two solutions:

    1-Within SSIS use the Business Connector in order to call directly the AX methods

    2-Using an AIF Custom Service, technet.microsoft.com/.../hh509052.aspx

    If you mean InventSum.averageCostPrice(), it calls quite a lot of business logic, several other methods etc. Writing the whole thing again and maintaining all the duplicated code outside AX doesn't look efficient.

    A better option would be letting AX calculate the values and exporting them on periodic bases. AX uses data entities for data export (you can create a new one if there is none suitable), which can be exported to the entity store. Then you can take data for your BI solution from there.
