Hi Everyone !

Out of curiosity, I want to ask something.

Why is there no CustPackingSlipJour&CustPackingSlipTrans in the Entity ? I think there's a reason they don't do this.

I would be glad if he shares his knowledge in terms of idea formation.

Best Regards.

Which version of AX do you mean? (If AX 2012, you should select "Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012" as the version, if D365FO, you should ask in one of D365FO forums.)

And what do you mean by "the entity"? Do you mean that these tables aren't use in any data entity?

Hello Martin!

I'm using the D365 version.

Yes, I'm talking about Data Entity.

I could not find any entity for CustPackingSlipJour import. I am thinking of creating a custom entity myself. But is it normal for Microsoft not to create an entity for this table?

I am asking for my curiosity.

Moved to D365 Supply Chain Management forum.

You can't import directly in to the tables that contain posted transactions. These transactions are populated via x++ processes that do much more than only create records in these tables.

Also in D365 you can't go to Packing slip journal, click New and add new records manually.

The correct way to create packing slips is to post them from sales order, not write data to CustPackingSlipJour/CustPackingSlipTrans. Then the system also handles all inventory and financial related updates in other tables.

If you would like to do this via your own data entity, you should still not import directly into those tables. Instead you should import into some new helper table which contains fields such as InventTransId (of the sales line) and Qty to be posted to packing slip. Then you would develop x++ process that takes the data from this table and posts the packing slips. Or, develop a custom service instead of an entity, and let it handle the posting.

Bumped into this post when I'm trying to find any entity using CustPackingSlipJour table. I'm interested to be able to export this table via Data Management. I can do the same using table browser, but it takes forever.

I understand the import part which I'm not intended to do. My user needs to export this out for data analysis, and they don't have access to table browsers. Anyone can help?

Yes, In D365F&O there is currently no active entity available for packing slip, as it is marked with an obsolete status.

I have tried checking the following entities, but the data is not being exported. Since mostly posted data is not required, that might be the reason.

In D365F&O, you can view the full list of packing slips, and from there you can export them to a spreadsheet. This can be used as a workaround if it fits your requirements.

Export to excel
