Post Ledger Transactions via X++

For beginner AX developers, I’m listing some codes which will help someone to post ledger transactions via X++ codes. This may be helpful to new Developers. [Level 200]

There are two ways to be considered when posting transactions:
1. Use the LedgerVoucher class and sub-classes API.
2. Use a journal Classes.

1. Use the LedgerVoucher class and sub-classes API.

The Classes are:
• LedgerVoucher - Posting {LedgerVoucher harnesses the posting of multiple vouchers at a time. }
• LedgerVoucherObject - Voucher {The LedgerVoucher class holds all the vouchers in temporary storage.}
• LedgerVoucherTransObject – Transactions {Holds transactions in each Voucher}

Instantiation of LedgerVoucher

LedgerVoucher::newLedgerPost(_detailSummary,
_sysModule,
_voucherSeriesCode,
[_transactionLogType,
_transactionLogText,
_approveJournal,
_posting]);

Instantiation of LedgerVoucherObject

LedgerVoucherObject::newVoucher(_voucher,
[_transDate,
_sysModule,
_ledgerTransType,
_correction,
_operationsTax,
_documentNum,
_documentDate]);

Instantiation of LedgerVoucherTransObject

LedgerVoucherTransObject newCreateTrans(_ledgerVoucherObject,
_ledgerPostingType,
_ledgerAccount,
_dimension,
_currencyCode,
_amountCur,
_sourceTableId,
_sourceRecId,
[_qty,
_exchRate ,
_exchRateSecond,
_exchRatesTriangulation,
_markBridging ,
ProjLedger,
AmountMST ])

Sample Code
static void LedgerVoucherAPISample(Args _args)
{
LedgerVoucher _LedgerVoucher;
LedgerVoucherObject _LedgerVoucherObject;
LedgerVoucherTransObject _LedgerVoucherTransObject;
NumberSeq _NumberSeq;
Dimension _Dimension;

NumberSequenceCode _VoucherCode = 'Ledger_3'; // 'Ledger_3' is the voucher Numbersequence in the Path AX>General Ledger>Setup>Journals>Journal Names. Its the Voucher Numref for the Journal Name :)
LedgerAccount _Account = '110180';
LedgerAccount _OffsetAccount = '140270';
AmountCur _AmountCur = 12345.67;

ttsbegin;
_NumberSeq = NumberSeq::newGetVoucherFromCode(_VoucherCode);
_LedgerVoucher = LedgerVoucher::newLedgerPost(DetailSummary::Detail,
SysModule::Ledger,
_VoucherCode);
_LedgerVoucherObject = LedgerVoucherObject::newVoucher(_NumberSeq.voucher());
_LedgerVoucher.addVoucher(_LedgerVoucherObject);
_LedgerVoucherTransObject = LedgerVoucherTransObject::newCreateTrans(_LedgerVoucherObject,
LedgerPostingType::LedgerJournal,
_Account,
_Dimension,
CompanyInfo::standardCurrency(),
_AmountCur,
0,
0);
_LedgerVoucherTransObject.parmTransTxt("Arijit Basu");
_LedgerVoucher.addTrans(_LedgerVoucherTransObject);
_LedgerVoucherTransObject = LedgerVoucherTransObject::newCreateTrans(_LedgerVoucherObject,
LedgerPostingType::LedgerJournal,
_OffsetAccount,
_Dimension,
CompanyInfo::standardCurrency(),
_AmountCur*-1,
0,
0);
_LedgerVoucherTransObject.parmTransTxt("Arijit Basu");
_LedgerVoucher.addTrans(_LedgerVoucherTransObject);
_LedgerVoucher.end();

ttscommit;
}

2. Use a journal Classes.

The tables used are LedgerJournalName, LedgerJournalTable, and LedgerJournalTrans.
The steps are:
• Create a journal table record {Table\LedgerJournalTable}
• Create lines for each transaction to be posted {Table\LedgerJournalTrans}.
• Post the journal. {Classes\LedgerJournalCheckPost}

Sample Code

static void LedgerJournalCheckPostDemo(Args _args)
{
LedgerJournalTable _LedgerJournalTable;
LedgerJournalTrans _LedgerJournalTrans;
LedgerJournalCheckPost _LedgerJournalCheckPost;
NumberSeq _NumberSeq;

ttsbegin;
//----Journal Header
_LedgerJournalTable.JournalName = 'Day1';
_LedgerJournalTable.initFromLedgerJournalName();
_LedgerJournalTable.Name = 'Daily Journal';
_LedgerJournalTable.insert();
//----Journal Line
_NumberSeq =NumberSeq::newGetVoucherFromCode(LedgerJournalName::find(_LedgerJournalTable.JournalName).VoucherSeries);
_LedgerJournalTrans.Voucher =_NumberSeq.voucher();
_LedgerJournalTrans.JournalNum =_LedgerJournalTable.JournalNum;
_LedgerJournalTrans.CurrencyCode =CompanyInfo::standardCurrency();
_LedgerJournalTrans.ExchRate =Currency::exchRate(_LedgerJournalTrans.CurrencyCode);
_LedgerJournalTrans.AccountNum ='110180';
_LedgerJournalTrans.AmountCurDebit =1000;
_LedgerJournalTrans.TransDate =Today();
_LedgerJournalTrans.OffsetAccount ='140270';
_LedgerJournalTrans.Txt ='Arijit Basu :)';
_LedgerJournalTrans.insert();
//----Journal Posting
_LedgerJournalCheckPost =LedgerJournalCheckPost::newLedgerJournalTable(_LedgerJournalTable,NoYes::Yes);
_LedgerJournalCheckPost.run();
ttscommit;
Info(StrFmt("Journal %1 is posted",_LedgerJournalTable.JournalNum));
}

Happy DAXing :)

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Integration

Microsoft Dynamics AX captures data in the form of discrete business transactions. These transactions need to be analyzed and trends understood for businesses to make informed decisions. To help answer these questions, Microsoft Dynamics AX provices integration with Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence tools such as SQL Server reporting Services and SQL Server Analysis Services. There is a nice Demo Script will show how Microsoft Dynamics AX uses Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services.
