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.
