Customization of Segmented Entry Control in D365 Finanace and Operations

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Everyone,

Recently i came across a customization related to Segmented Entry Control.That Customization was done earlier in AX 2012R3. But It seems confusing now in D365 F&O.

I am explaining the requirement below:

1. We have a custom setup linked with the Main Account Screen. In this setup we linked Main Account with the particular table.(i'e we have table name and table Id in this setup).

2. Now suppose we created a record in this setup which links Main Account - 110011 with Table - TEST.

2.Table Test is used to Create a Screen - TEST Screen and a segmented entry control is created in this form. This segmented entry control is linked with ledgerDimension field of TEST Table.

3. Now whenever we open our TEST Screen, as per our customization system should Pick the Main account [as per setup mentioned in step1] and fill that in segment 1 of our segmented entry control. Also it should lock that particular segment for further change.

4. Now once the form loads the segmented entry control should look like this :   110011- - -

The controller class which i am using in property of segmented entry control is DimensionDynamicAccountController, default account property is false,posting type property is ledger journal

Can anyone please suggest me the ways how can i proceed with the requirement? Also i am keen to find out the method sequence of segmented entry control.

    Hello Akhilesh Kukshal,

    Have you considered getting rid of this system modification by making use of the PowerPlatform?

    You did not provide much information what the adjustment is about and about the underlying business requirement.

    Rather than trying to replicate what has been done in the past, I would recommend using this opportunity to question whether this adjustment is still needed and if so whether you can use standard tools (PowerPlatform) to incorporate it.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Akhilesh ,

    I doubt method calling sequence is available anywhere . You have to find that out from the out of the box functionality. Following link has migration guidance for segmented entry control which are implemented in Ax 2012. You can refer it and check if it helps you to fulfill your requirement.

    Hi Ludwig,

    Power Platform is indeed an exciting option but for now the client is not looking forward to implement this through power platform.

    Although i am happy if you can share some helpful examples with me.

    So I need to implement this in AX only.

    Now if i come to the requirement. The business want to lock the Main Account segment while creating new records.

    The setup is created because we want to implement this in many screens.

    Main Account should be filled automatically from setup and should be non-editable rest all other dimensions can be filled manually.

    Hello Sukrut,

    I already gone through the migration guidance. it helps me to align my segmented entry controls in D365 enviornment.

    But they are not very descriptive with other methods which are linked with segmented entry control other than the ones which are described in AX 2012.
