AX 2012 - Couple of questions - Layout & Functions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi All,

The company I work for are still using AX 4.0 and we soon will be in the process of upgrading to 2012.

I am captain among many others within the company reviewing the new versions and going through the new version to see how it functions, what functions we can change and etc ( As it is like coming from windows 95 to windows 8 ha )

Couple of questions

  • Why is it I seem to be able to only do explosions of productions orders at the planned production stage under the view tab, but the already released production orders at started the explosion button under view doesn't exist?

  • Printing router cards how do we do this? in 4.0 I go to the production order with the router to print by update>release> print (I get my router with the bar codes) How do i do this function within 2012 ?

  • Layout - Is there any possible way of making 2012 look like 4.0 or is that defiantly a no no 

Thanks for taking time to read this I am sure i will have many other questions I will post once they come to mind

Regards

Lexo

    Hi Lexomundo,

    You can better create a question per topic. Now you have three questions. It will be easier to have questions answered one by one. Not all persons have answers to all questions. Also what questions were already answered or not?

    About the first two questions. Please elaborate. What are you able to do in detail and did you have any customizations or not?

    Layout: are you referring to form design or report design? Report design can be adjusted. The forms (layout) can be changed as well. But if you want to have AX 2012 in the "Outlook 2003 style", then I have to disappoint you. That is a 'NO'.

    Lexomundo,

    I am not expert by any means, and have only been dealing with supporting AX not implementing or anything. I know from experience we have some business connector software that allows us to print labels and such. Bartender is pretty good to accomplish printing bar codes.
