How to Change the status of the Production Order to Estimated Status in AX 2012 using X++ ?

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are having a great week and you are eagerly waiting for the weekend.

Today, I am going to be talking on how we can change the status of the the production order to "Estimated" status in AX 2012 using X++.

The basic steps are to:
1. Declare the variables
2. Find the production order.
3. Initialize the associated classes - ProdMultiCostEstimation  &  RunBaseMultiParm
4. Pass the production table and default parameters
5. Run the class.

Here is the code:

public static void estimateProductionOrder(Args args)

{    

    ProdTable               prodTable;

    ProdMultiCostEstimation ProdMultiCostEstimation;

    prodTable   = ProdTable::find('P000012');

    //init ProdStartup

    ProdMultiCostEstimation = ProdMultiCostEstimation::construct(new args());

    //init default parameter

    RunBaseMultiParm::initParm(ProdMultiCostEstimation);

    //parm ProdTable, you can do this muliple times in case you want to update

    //more than one production at a time

    ProdMultiCostEstimation.insert(prodTable, ProdMultiCostEstimation.defaultParmBuffer());

    //Do update

    ProdMultiCostEstimation.run();

    info('Estimated');

}

How to Create a Production Order in AX 2012 using X++ ?

Production orders come under Production Control module. The basics of production orders is that in manufacturing industry, everything that is produced needs to have a production order number associated with it so that if there is an ERP system present, the system can track & capture its exact manufacturing process.

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, with the advent of new functionality, the process has become simpler as well as complex with a lot more options to create a production order, configure the production cycle and configure the whole production module.

Below code snippet provides a simple way to create a production order using X++:

static void CreatePO_DD(Args _args)
{
    // Define Variables
    ProdTable       prodtable;
    InventTable     inventTable;
    InventDim       inventDim;
   
    ProdQty         qty     = 1000;
    ItemId          item    = 'A0001';

    ;

    // Initialize InventTable
    inventTable = inventTable::find(item);

    // Initialize the default values
    prodtable.initValue();

    // You have the option to initialize from inventory table as well
    prodtable.initFromInventTable(inventTable);

    prodtable.ItemId                = inventTable.ItemId;
    prodtable.DlvDate               = today();
    prodtable.QtySched              = qty;
    prodtable.RemainInventPhysical  = qty;

    // Initialize InventDim table for inventory dimensions defaulting from item id

    inventDim.initValue();

    // Set the active BOM and Route as without these values a production order won't be created
    prodtable.BOMId = BOMVersion::findActive(prodtable.ItemId,
                                             prodtable.BOMDate,
                                             prodtable.QtySched,
                                             inventDim).BOMId;

    prodtable.RouteId = RouteVersion::findActive(prodtable.ItemId,
                                                 prodtable.BOMDate,
                                                 prodtable.QtySched,
                                                 inventDim).RouteId;

    // Initialize BOMVersion
    prodtable.initBOMVersion();

    // Initialize RouteVersion
    prodtable.initRouteVersion();

    //Use ProdTableType class to create the production order
    prodtable.type().insert();

    setPrefix( 'Production Order Number');
    info(prodtable.ProdId);
}
