Hi Experts,

I need a little help in Project management and accounting module. I've a requirement where I need to get "Activity-wise actual and remaining costs" of a project in my code. These are shown in "Tracking Views" form under Project Tracking tab but apparently this form doesn't contain any data sources, neither contains any code that shows the data in it. I've also tried to find any class(s) that may have the code to fetch these costs but unfortunately I couldn't find any class. Can anyone help in this regard? How can I get the activity-wise actual and remaining costs of a project in my X++ code?

Hi Muhammad,

According to debugging, we can see that this form uses utility class "FormControlUtil" to obtain information. See the method invokeCommand.

Here is part of the call stack:

> Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.79.netmodule!Dynamics.AX.Application.ProjWBSUpdateController.`getPostedActualCost(string _hierarchyId) Line 4289 X++ Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.79.netmodule!Dynamics.AX.Application.ProjWbsTrackingServerActions.getData() Line 269 X++ Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.79.netmodule!Dynamics.AX.Application.ProjWbsTrackingServerActions.`executeDataRetrievalAction(Dynamics.AX.Application.ActionDataContract _action) Line 61 X++ Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.79.netmodule!Dynamics.AX.Application.ProjWbsServerInteraction.`executeDataRetrievalAction(Dynamics.AX.Application.ActionDataContract _action) Line 86 X++ Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.113.netmodule!Dynamics.AX.Application.ServerInteraction.`getData(string _action) Line 20 X++ Dynamics.AX.ApplicationCommon.0.netmodule!Dynamics.AX.Application.HierarchicalGridCommonControl.`getData(string _action, string _interactionContext, bool @_interactionContext_IsDefaultSet) Line 184 X++ [Lightweight Function] Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Xpp.Support.dll!Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.ReflectionCallHelper.MakeInstanceCall(object instance, string MethodName, object[] parameters) Unknown Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Xpp.Support.dll!Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.DictClass.Callobject(string _methodName, Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.XppObjectBase _Called, object[] varArgs) Unknown Dynamics.AX.ApplicationPlatform.0.netmodule!Dynamics.AX.Application.FormControlUtil.`invokeCommand(Dynamics.AX.Application.FormControl _control, string _commandName, object[] _arguments) Line 105 X++

You can get the actualCost from the ProjWBSUpdateController's getPostedActualCost method.

Hi, why you want to code that? I don't think that this is necessary. Take a look at the website of the dynamics chatter guy where power bi tools are used for this analysis.

Best regards, Ludwig
