Hello Everyone,

Are there any mobile app that can connect to AX 2012R2 CU7 that will allow our users to created sales orders and have it registered in our database.

I would like to make my peeps more efficient but allowing the reps to take a sales order on spot and all that infor get registered in our database so that warehouse can pick and pick etc...

Any suggested app would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Lionel07,

The one option that I know of is using Citrix, this gives users access to AX from any mobile device and allows for screen scaling which makes it easy for users to navigate on small screens. I don't know of any mobile app out there that allows for entering sales orders that work with AX.

Hi Lionel,

Out of the box there is no app available for sales orders on mobile devices. I'm not aware if any partner created an add-on for this. It would be possible to develop your own mobile app for this purpose.

Hi Lionel07,

There is no out of the box app to cater for this but power apps by Microsoft is the custom tool where you can make custom apps to mobilize your business to handheld devices.

We have done the same for couple of forms in AX and requires functional and technical work to get the app rolled out from the scratch.

Hi Lionel,

You can find the whitepaper to develop mobile apps at the below link:

www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

There can be other custom solutions also which you can develop if you have some good mobile app development experience in your team along with good X++ programmers. From AX you can expose AIF services to send/receive data and you can use some connector tools like Jitterbit [https://www.jitterbit.com/solutions/microsoft-dynamics-integration/] to communicate between AX and Mobile App. You will have to think about overall architecture [Caching, online/offline capabilities, performance, data security etc ] to make sure system is able to perform well in real time.

Hope that helps.

Ok thanks Boris, based on the recommendation you made re using citrix; does this mean I will have to install XenApp_and_XenDesktop_7_16 on my app server and then use citrix receiver on my users phone?

Yes, you will need to install XenApp. However, what server are you referring to as your App server? Do you currently have a Citrix environment? Because it is more involved then just having XenApp installed.

You can also do it using RDS, as long as you don't mind exposing it to the public. That being said Citrix is more secure.
