How To: Directing Reports to Email

Step 1/2: Create a session management class
To send reports via Email from code you can use the new SrsReportRunController class. In the following example the report is initiated without a dialog and dispatched to the designated receiver. Create a new class, name itAXSalesReportToEmail and add the following code:

public static void main(Args _args)
{
    SrsReportRunController controller = new SrsReportRunController();
    SRSPrintDestinationSettings printSettings;
    SrsReportEMailDataContract emailContract;
    // set report name     controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(AXSalesReportNew, AutoDesign1));
    // create email contract     emailContract = new SrsReportEMailDataContract();
    // fill in the email contract details     emailContract.parmAttachmentFileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
    emailContract.parmSubject("My Report");
    emailContract.parmTo(person@hotmail.com);
    // get print settings from contract     printSettings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
    // update print settings with email contract and use pdf format in the attachment     printSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Email);
    printSettings.parmEMailContract(emailContract);
    printSettings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
    // suppress the parameter dialog     controller.parmShowDialog(false);
    // start operation     controller.startOperation();
}
Step 2/2: Create a menu item for the SSRS Report
A new menu item is needed to trigger the code driven reporting solution provided by the Controller created in this exercise. In the Dynamics AX Developer Workspace navigate to AOT > Menu Items > Output, right click the output node and choose “New Menu Item”. Rename the menu item to AXSalesReportToEmail.
Right click the new menu item and choose Properties. In the Properties Windows on the right add the label Sales Report. Change the Object Type to Class and select the previously created Controller class.
Exercise 5 - Menu item
Now the report is finished. Right click the menu item and choose Open. Microsoft Dynamics AX will display the Infolog dialog confirming the successful report execution and distribution via email using the Microsoft® SQL Server® Reporting Services framework.

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
