Top Tips on the Technical Architecture
•
Programming Model Enhancements: Make use of features like Date Effectiveness, Table Inheritance, and Surrogate Foreign Keys to
reduce the amount of code and to drive consistency in implementations.
•
New Developer Workspace in MorphX and the VS Editor: Maximize your development efficiency by using the new X++ Editor as
well as Visual Studio for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
•
Attributes in X++: Decorating the code in X++ leads to 0 extra code when generating WCF Compliant Services.
•
User Experience: Use “Related Data” rendering through fact boxes and “Relevant Data” rendering through FastTabs to maximize user
productivity.
•
Relevant Data: Search data easily now with Full Text Search and BDC Search.
•
Reporting: Use your services to render data in Excel and Word for easy slicing and dicing.
•
Models and Metadata: Use Models for easy integration and co-existence with other solutions. Use Attributes for extensibility.
•
Extensibility: Use managed languages to extend the application through the ease of a Standards-based Editor. Use Eventing as an
effective customization model.
•
Services and Integration: Use the new Services concepts and the Application Integrations for operational ease with legacy systems.
•
Runtime: Use concepts like SQL Temp Table, the SQL Set Based Constructs, and the Extended Application Cache to maximize your
investment and increase overall efficiency.
•
Security: Maximize your data security with simple policies, and use the Microsoft-shipped policies as effective templates.

Top Tips on the Functional Architecture
•
Model your organization and define necessary purposes. Use purpose to model all necessary forms of the
organization.
•
Use new concept of non-stocked items for modeling services – Product Information management.
•
Use Business Policies (Policy Framework) to orchestrate suppliers and their catalogs.
•
Use a combination of the organization model and xDS to define data segmentation within and across legal entities.
•
Use Budgetary Control to enable effective spending mechanisms and proactive fiscal management.
•
Use Line-Level Workflows to orchestrate fine-grained approvals like Manager approvals of selected lines. Use Policy
Framework for automation of line selection.
•
Use Work Queues to enable functions like “Routing work to Shared Services Buy Center” and manage their queues.
•
Enable Self-Service Functionality with ease to reduce manual steps in business processes (“Buyer sends PO
electronically to Vendor who views it online and sends an invoice”).
•
Use mechanisms like 3-Way Match for effective control procedures.
•
Understand and manage Accounting through effective use of distributions.
•
Use Sub-Ledgers now to effectively manage debits and credits and to summarize the accounting across lines.
