  • Help!! I closed the Excel Addin

    A colleague of mine pinged me today and wondered if there is a way to reopen the Dynamics Excel Addin if you accidentally closed it, other than going back to Dynamics and reopen the file.

    Since she was nice enough to ask the question and i did not know the answer I thought I might as well write it down so I do not forget 🙂

    1. In Excel, go to the insert tab. Then click My Addins

    2. Click on Microsoft Dynamics (if it is not there, click See all… instead and you will find it in the list)

    3. The Addin will open up again and reload the condent of the excel file from Dynamics 365 FO

    Good Luck

  • Interview – Nathan Clouse

    In this episode of Dynamics update we speak to Nathan Clouse, Microsoft BizApps MVP, about ALM for Dynamics 365 for Finance and Supply chain, the differences between Git and VSTC and why we might want to use Git instead of VSTC as a source control solution for our FnO code.

  • Extended FnO fields in DataVerse

    Last week I had an issue with DataEvents. We hav made a change to an entity in FnO and we wanted the new fields for be visible in the JSON message sent by Data Events. We did not get the correct information in the JSON message. This did not work… I tested the following tips

    – Refresh the entity list
    – Refresh the entity Mappings
    – Reactivated the Data Event
    – Rebuild  business event catalog (from the manage tab in Business Events Catalog)
    – Did an DMF export to verify that the data is correct
    – I checked the OData feed from FnO and the fields looked OK. Dataevents use Virtual Entities and Virtual Entities are based on OData

    When I Look in Dataverse the added fields are not visible… strange… No wonder the message is not correct.

    What you need to do to get this working is that you need to go to Advanced find in CRM/CE and find the entity in Available Finance and Operation Entities. Open it by clicking on it.

    The next part is a little hidden… If you click the — besides Refresh, it will turn into a checkbox

    Check it and then click Save

    NOTE: When I did this the first few times it did not work. I am not positive why but I think it might be because did not wait for it to finish saving completely. Let it take its time… get a coffee (or other beverage of choice)

    Once you have done this, go back to the maker portal and verify that the field is visible there

    Thanks for the Tip, Nurlin

  • Set up the Azure Machine Learning Service for Demand Forecasting – Addendum

    This article is sort or addendum to the Microsoft Learn articles for setting up Demand Forecasting with Azure Machine Learning. I got the request from one of my colleagues to set this up in out demo environment and as I went through the step-by-step guide I notices that some of the steps were unclear so I thought I would write down my own experiences:

    1. To start I downloaded the setup files from GitHub and when I started setting them up I noticed some quirks. First of all you need to install Azure CLI and the correct ML extension. You get Azure CLI from here. To install the azure-cli-ml run the following command:

    az extension add --name azure-cli-ml
    

    Note that there are two different Azure ML extensions and the install script has a verification that checks that azure-cli-ml is installed… so the other one will not work (azure-cli-ml is the older version and ml is the newer version). The other thing to note is that the azure-cli-ml and ml is incompatible. If you have installed ml you need to uninstall it dy running:

    az extension remove -n ml
    

    I have not tested if you can just change the install script to use the new one instead.

    2. The second issue I noticed was that there is a parameter hardcoded in the PowerShell Script which is also documented in GitHub. The solution is the the following line in quick_setup.ps1

    $computeInstance_Name = "notebookScryptExecutor"

    Change the variable value to something else. (Note that there is a maximum field length of 24).

    3. The install script will create the following resources

    – Azure AD App registration
    – Azure ML Workspace
    – Azure Storage Account with some containers

    In order to do this, the correct permissions in Azure are needed. Otherwise, the script will fail.
