How to add a number sequence in a new table in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations?

 In this blog , we will create a new number sequence in D365 Finance and Operations form. 

And this blog will contain below steps for the users and user will be able to understand below steps as well:

1. Create a EDT of String Type with Length 20

2. Create a Table

3. Create a List Form

4. Create a new module and attach a new form

5. Create a new class

6. Create a new runnable class , build and check the AR parameters > Number Sequence Form

7. Add the new number sequence code

        8. Go to Form and Click New.

Detailed steps are now below:

Step 1. Create a EDT of String Type with Length 20

         

a. To create a new EDT, Right click on solution and then add > New Item.

Step 2. Create a Table

    

a.  Add the new EDT on Fields and Index and on Field Groups as well. Update the properties as follows.

Step 3. Create a List Form with below pattern and details.

            Data Source = Table in above step

            

Step 4. Create a new module and attach a new form

            a. First create a display menu item.

b. Create a Menu Item Now and link the Display Menu Item now. 

c. Build the project and check the environment now.

    

Step 4. Create a new class with name VehicleIdNumSeq

   

b. Create a new method load Module with below code.

protected void loadModule()

    {

        NumberSeqDatatype datatype = NumberSeqDatatype::construct();

        datatype.parmDatatypeId(extendedTypeNum(AnandBook2_VehicleId));

        datatype.parmReferenceLabel("Anand Vehicle Id");

        datatype.parmReferenceHelp(literalStr("Unique key used for the cars."));

        datatype.parmWizardIsContinuous(false);

        datatype.parmWizardIsManual(NoYes::No);

        datatype.parmWizardFetchAheadQty(10);

        datatype.parmWizardIsChangeDownAllowed(NoYes::No);

        datatype.parmWizardIsChangeUpAllowed(NoYes::No);

        datatype.parmSortField(1);

        datatype.addParameterType(NumberSeqParameterType::DataArea, true, false);

        this.create(datatype);

    }

c. Create a Subscription and a method as follows:

[SubscribesTo(classstr(NumberSeqGlobal),delegatestr(NumberSeqGlobal,buildModulesMapDelegate))]

    static void buildModulesMapSubsciber(Map numberSeqModuleNamesMap)

    {

        NumberSeqGlobal::addModuleToMap(classnum(VehicleIdNumSeq), numberSeqModuleNamesMap);

    }

d. Create a final method on this class

public NumberSeqModule numberSeqModule()

    {

        return NumberSeqModule::Cust;

    }

Here Cust is for Accounts Receivables Parameters form to know all the codes we can check the designer. If I select Asset , then our Field of Code will be available in Fixed Assets Parameters form.

e. Create a new runnable class and add the code and set it as a startup object.

class LoadVehicleIdNumSeq

{

    /// <summary>

    /// Runs the class with the specified arguments.

    /// </summary>

    /// <param name = "_args">The specified arguments.</param>

    public static void main(Args _args)

    {

        VehicleIdNumSeq VehicleIdNumSeq = new VehicleIdNumSeq();

        VehicleIdNumSeq.load();

    }

}

f. To add it as Startup Object, right click on the solution and Set as Startup Object. 

17. Build and run the project from VS and check the AR parameters > Number Sequence Form.

18. Add the new number sequence code as shown in screenshot.

19.Go to your custom Form and Click New.

Error Path: [AxTable/AnandBook2_Vehicle/Modules]:Enum 'ModuleAxapta' does not exist.

Have you ever got this error:

 Project Path File Line Suppression State Error Path: [AxTable/AnandBook2_Vehicle/Modules]:Enum 'ModuleAxapta' does not exist. AnandBook2 (USR) [AnandBook2] 

Solution:

This error suggests there is standard models not available in our solution.

To resolve it add the solution with standard models needed.

Step 1. Go to Update model parameters

Step 2. Select your model.

Step 3. Select the standard model.

            Application Foundation, Application Suite, Application Platform.

Step 4. Rebuild solution and check.

    

ERROR :- --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Please correct the metadata files for the following issue(s): Module 'ConProductionIntegration' has invalid reference to module 'ConVehicleManagement' that can cause circular dependencies. This is an indication that model store is in a broken state. Then select the "Refresh models" menu item in the Dynamics 365 | Model management menu to refresh the models. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

Solution

Before we dive into solutions, let's break down the error message:

• Circular dependency: This means that module 1 depends on 2 , and vice versa, creating a loop.
• Model store is in a broken state: This indicates inconsistencies in the data that defines your model.
• Refresh models: This is a potential solution to rectify the model store.

To resolve it find the Descriptor XML file in Folder and delete the dependent XML tag.
