ry to spend an hour without any technology. For many of us, even five minutes would be difficult. Technology is everywhere nowadays. From the moment you awake until your return to bed, technology is pervasive and increasingly transparent, both personally and professionally. We decided to make technology the theme of this quarter’s magazine because technology is a theme everyone and every company, regardless of role, industry, or company size, relies on and can relate to. Of course, without technology there would be no computers and hence no business application software or ERP products like Microsoft Dynamics AX. As AXUG® has grown over the years, we have also incorporated and become more reliant on technology. Today, our website is built on top of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, using Windows Live® ID to handle Member logins. Our webinars are recorded and available with a few clicks. You can register for an event with a click or two inside the event calendar on AXUG.com, and of course, we keep you up to date with the hundreds of annual webinars, classes, and events via email, which can now be refined to your own preferences for the communications you would like to receive from AXUG. If some of this is new information to you, great! We want to make sure you’re aware of, and fully leveraging, all the great resources available. Log in to AXUG.com, update your company and Member profile, tell us what type of communications you would like to receive, register for an upcoming webinar and save it to your Outlook calendar, research questions via the search functionality inside the website, and finally, make sure your contact information is correct so all these great technology tools can work as they should! If you don’t know how to accomplish any of these tasks, please send us an email (more technology) at Help@AXUG.com. We’re far from done leveraging technology to enhance your User Group. A new way to network and collaborate within the AXUG community is planned for the first quarter of 2013. This new tool is website-driven and allows you to collaborate with fellow Members around role, industry, and location at levels previously not available inside AXUG. We also continue to look for technology tools to make AXUG Summit even better. Based on great feedback from the 930 attendees at AXUG Summit in Seattle earlier this fall, we will be adding more of these tools into the Summit experience next year in Tampa. Technology provides the perfect median to support the networking, knowledge sharing, and education objectives of AXUG, both virtually and face-to-face, so look for more of these great technology tools in 2013. As you read through the articles in this issue, think about how they apply to you and your company. Then extend your learning and challenge yourself to discover new ideas and opportunities to leverage your company’s Microsoft Dynamics AX system. Learn, network, and share via an online webinar, a recorded session, or an in-person AXUG meeting. We’ll be at the AXUG Event in Rome in January, and Microsoft Convergence 2013 in New Orleans in March – we hope to see you there!

news Regional Chapter of the Year AXUG Regional Chapter of the Year: Congratulations Minnesota! The AXUG® Minnesota Chapter has been awarded the first-ever AXUG Chapter of the Year award. The Minnesota chapter of AXUG has had a fantastic year, holding monthly meetings (that’s right – monthly!) while sustaining great attendance at each one. Craig Leska, the new chapter leader and technical systems manager at CES Group, and Stuart Johnson, outgoing Chapter leader and systems strategy director at Taylor Corporation, were surprised to hear the news yet glad to see their chapter recognized. “I was almost speechless when it was announced at AXUG Summit. I just had no clue,” says Craig. “Stuart did a great job getting us to this point and the Users have been fantastic. People asked me over and over at Summit how we meet every month. We just do.”
The Secrets to Their Success The Minnesota Chapter has been around since 2007, and Craig estimates that 80 percent of their active Members attend each meeting. In addition to the regulars, there are new faces each month, bringing the group’s monthly attendance to 30 to 50 Users, peaking a few times with standing room only. “Our meetings are not only fairly sizeable, but we also get a lot of good participation amongst the group, not only in the meetings but also in deciding content,” says Stuart. “We always try to put together something that’s meaningful to the Members, presenting
information in which the group has professed interest. I think that helps support the notion of folks participating in the meeting and attending regularly.” One of their most popular meetings this past year was when a fellow User showed the group the work they had done with mobile devices. “We rely on Microsoft to develop our products and are thankful to them for their work, but being able to see how people use the software in action is meaningful,” says Stuart.
Continuing Down the Right Path In the spirit of providing continued value, the Minnesota Chapter takes an annual road trip to the Microsoft campus in Fargo, North Dakota, for one of their Chapter meetings. The special two-day meeting brings in more than 100 people and showcases both the Chapter and Microsoft. “We see it as a gift to the Members,” says Stuart. “It’s a little different and makes our Chapter special. Microsoft deserves a ton of credit for putting it on as well, especially Jim Westerman and Bryan Erstad, who have provided great support to our Chapter over the years.” Craig stepped in this fall to lead the Minnesota Chapter and his plan is to work with Users and Partners on creating content that matches what the Chapter Members want to learn. “Microsoft Dynamics AX is something I’m passionate about,” says Craig. “It doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s something I enjoy doing, and I look forward to keeping the momentum going.” AXUG
Want that award in your Chapter’s possession next year? Here are some ideas to rev up your Chapter’s meetings according to Stuart. 1. Plan relevant content that allows for interaction. A fun location isn’t as important as having content that is interesting to fellow Members. 2. Have a regular and predictable meeting schedule. The Minnesota Chapter holds its meetings on the third Thursday of the month; same time, same place. This sets expectations and allows Members to plan around the meeting. 3. Facilitate discussion. Leave time in the meeting for Members to participate in a group discussion. Have some questions ready in case the conversation isn’t flowing.

magine running a separate financial management solution for more than 320 individual but related restaurants and the three distribution centers that serve them. Dave Coombs, development manager at Harman Management Corporation, couldn’t get his head around it either. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons he and his team rely on Microsoft Dynamics AX. The company, which was founded by Pete Harman (using the recipe Colonel Sanders developed), is today the largest KFC™ franchisee; other restaurants in its franchise portfolio include Pizza Hut®, Taco Bell®, Long John Silver’s® and A&W®. With locations in California, Colorado, Utah, and Washington, Harman Management Corporation provides its franchisees with general management, accounting, and IT services, including instore point-of-sale (POS) technology. The company also hosts the system that franchises use to order food and paper products from its affiliate Quality Distributing, which services the restaurants via three warehouse facilities. To make matters considerably more complex, each of the franchises is – legally speaking – a separate corporation. “When Lawson switched gears to IBM, it became too expensive, so we started looking,” Coombs says. “After seeing vendor demonstrations, we decided that Microsoft Dynamics AX fit our needs. We need to run each of these corporations separately, and there were some solutions that would have required purchasing separate software for each franchise.” For the franchisees, Harman uses Microsoft Dynamics AX to handle all the tax reporting and the generation of monthly reports that provide visibility into growth and other storelevel issues. The solution also runs accounts receivable and accounts payable, which, while the company is moving toward electronic payments, still includes the creation and printing of at least 3,000 checks per week. On the payroll side, 5,000 checks are printed and distributed per week. While they’re issued at the individual store level, payroll is tracked and managed by a single customized system implemented across the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution that serves all companies. “We do all the basic financial systems for the Harman system,” Coombs says. “We do it here and send it out.”
The distribution centers are yet another layer of an already robust operation. They receive shipments two or three times per week, which are quickly turned around and shipped to the restaurants. “They don’t have a lot of storage, so product is always coming in and going out,” Coombs says. The centers are also using a different version – 4.0 – than the rest of the infrastructure, although an upgrade is definitely on the horizon. “The fact that we can have all the companies on one system rather than having 320 separate systems is huge for us,” says Coombs. “It would be difficult to manage, and it would be expensive.” To get the most out of the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution, Harman works with Microsoft Partner AX Mentor (www.axmentor.com) and has a small in-house IT staff. Coombs also believes that participating in User groups maximizes the value of any IT investment. In addition to serving on the AXUG board, he is organizing a local chapter in the Salt Lake City area. The group’s initial meeting, held in July, was attended by representatives from seven companies. “At that initial meeting, we had the opportunity to learn how different people are using the solution,” Coombs says. “Our next meeting will be a recap of what happened at Summit.” What happened at Summit, according to Coombs, is very similar to what happens at the advisory board and local chapter meetings: Learning. “We like to know where Microsoft is headed with the product so that we can make the changes necessary to keep running it successfully,” he says. “At the same time, Summit and the Advisory Board are great places to give Microsoft an idea of what we’d like to see done with Microsoft Dynamics AX.” And this year, what Coombs would really like to see concerns security and reporting. At Summit, he was connected with other Microsoft Dynamics AX Users who were facing similar issues as him. They were instructed to go on a walk and discuss their security situations. “It was an interesting way to have a meeting,” he says. While his questions weren’t answered during the walk, he did connect with one User he’s since helped out by sharing the work he’s done with security to allow Users to manipulate fields within forms.

I
ncreasing numbers of organizations are considering making the move to the cloud, but trying to navigate the myriad solutions on the market and the intricacies of deployment options can be challenging. Despite the uncertainties that come with adopting any new technology or service, the cloud is here to stay and offers many advantages to the business, its IT organization, and the end Users. Microsoft has fully embraced the power of the cloud with Microsoft Office 365™, its business productivity suite that can greatly simplify the life of an IT department, save operational costs, and provide greater uptime.
Save the Hassles of Managing the Platform Switching from an on-premise to a cloud solution naturally relieves an organization from the hassles of managing the platform running the solution. Start listing all the components of an on-premise email solution: maintaining support contracts on every piece of hardware involved; replacing hardware when it nears the end of its lifecycle; managing support options for the email software; and upgrading it to newer versions. It takes a lot of time (and expense) to manage the solution and can induce considerable risk and disruption to your business should an update or upgrade run into issues.
that they all will fit into an organization’s IT strategy in the same way or give the same benefits. One clear differentiation is the choice between single-tenant and multi-tenant models, sometimes referred to as private versus public cloud. A multi-tenant solution leverages a common hardware and software infrastructure across many Customers, which maximizes resource utilization but at the expense of flexibility (since customizations for one Customer would affect all Customers, multi-tenant solutions rarely allow for customizations or integrations.) A single-tenant, or private cloud, allows for much greater flexibility by compartmenting each tenant, meaning that a tenant’s data is isolated from that of other Customers and allows for a full range of customizations (and reduces the risk that changes in one client’s setup would affect others).
The Flexibility of Office 365
Another advantage is that cloud-based offerings include builtin disaster recovery capabilities. That is another expense and risk that your organization no longer has to shoulder. Naturally a cloud solution, with its smaller local footprint, will be easier and take less time to manage, so organizations can be more flexible when it comes to staffing. In short, choosing a cloud solution greatly lightens the load of an IT organization by letting the cloud provider assume both the maintenance tasks and the risks associated with IT systems.
Office 365 is the centerpiece of Microsoft’s cloud offerings. It is actually made up of four distinct components: Exchange Online, SharePoint® Online, Lync®, and the familiar Office 2010 Pro Plus, the mix of which depends on what particular plan is assigned to each User. Some plans, each with a monthly price point, include only access to a 25GB mailbox, while others include the use of browser-based applications and SharePoint Online, a license for Office Professional Plus, and the option to use Lync not just as an IM and Live Meeting tool, but also as a phone system upgrade (or replacement). Different Users can be assigned different plans, allowing for flexibility and cost control – Office 365 administrators can grant Users any one of a variety of plans at any time. There are even some kiosk options, designed for employees who traditionally don’t require an IT footprint. Think of shop floor employees or delivery drivers who do not require a full-fledged desktop now having access to a mailbox and browser-based Office applications at a reduced monthly rate ($4 or $8 monthly, based on features).
Make the CFO and CIO Happy
Four Plans, Your Choice
There is also a financial, rather than operational, benefit to switching to cloud solutions. While the cost and expense of implementing or upgrading a new solution on-premise typically involves a capital expenditure, cloud solutions are generally “pay as you go” offerings, and therefore an operating expense. Similarly, they have no (or very few) fixed assets to track or depreciate. This accounting distinction makes cloud solutions attractive to CFOs, while the operational advantages appeal to CIOs.
In addition to the “Exchange only” option, costing $4 per month, there are four plans tailored to traditional knowledge workers. The first adds SharePoint online functionality (including the use of the browser-based applications to read Office documents) for $8 per month, and the second allows the use of the browser applications to create Office documents for $14 per month. It is worth pointing out that the “traditional” Office 2010 is able to open and edit documents as well. So, if your organization has already licensed Office 2010, these two plans could be used to leverage SharePoint Online and basic Lync (IM) capability. The third plan, priced at $20 per month, packs in some compelling features. For one, email storage now becomes unlimited, as email
No Longer Shoulder the Risk
Understanding Private Versus Public Clouds This doesn’t mean that all cloud solutions are created equal, or

archiving (including legal hold capability) is enabled. Users can also leverage advanced voice (hosted voice mail, auto attendant) solutions. Also standing out is the Office 2010 Professional Pro Plus subscription. This subscription allows for up to five installations per User, so it can be an attractive solution for power Users who have multiple devices. It is worth noting, however, that due to the licensing mechanism of that subscription, this particular version will not work in terminal server environments, for which the traditionally licensed Office is still required. Finally, the fourth plan unlocks the full functionality of Lync by replacing or enhancing a local PBX. This allows for true unified messaging, in which one phone number can roam between a desk phone, cell phone, or even a “soft phone” on a User’s laptop. All of these plans work seamlessly together and can be integrated with Active Directory using ADFS, or Federation Services. Office 365 can either be standalone, with its own username and password sets, or tied to a local Active Directory for account and password synchronizations – making the product even easier to support. Most smartphones are supported as well, either through ActiveSync or a cloudbased BlackBerry server.
Need Integrations and Customizations? It’s Possible. I have discussed above the trade-off between single and multi-tenant cloud solutions. Office 365 is a multi-tenant offering that offers limited room for customization. This can be an issue for complex email infrastructures with a large number of relaying applications or convoluted mail flow. Thankfully, Microsoft offers the option to run the Exchange Online portion of Office 365 in hybrid mode, in which the cloud becomes an extension of the existing, on-premise Exchange infrastructure. This allows the customizations to remain in place on the on-premise server(s) but move User mailboxes to Office 365 and leverage the Microsoft cloud’s disaster recovery and high availability. While there are a few other considerations to explore as part of a pre-migration due diligence effort, Office

365 has shown remarkable resilience and uptime and can greatly reduce the burden on an IT department, as well as save costs for the organization. It offers the cost benefits of a multitenant solution while leaving the door open to integrations and customizations. It is easy to use, versatile, and flexible.

corner cadem a y “There’s a broad scope of knowledge in the sessions, and Users are able to get a lot of solutions out of it,” says Brian. “A lot of the time, Users get more out of their classmates than the instructors. Our job is to facilitate that discussion and hone in on what they’re trying to do.” “In addition to the chance to deep dive on a particular topic, Academy courses bring the community together outside of Summit or Regional Chapter meetings,” says Troy. “That way there’s always something going on so that you can get value out of AXUG.”
Why Hands-on Works
T
roy Jones, functional solutions architect for Hi-Vue Solutions, and Brian Pond, independent consultant for Pond Consulting, share their talents with Users as AXUG® Academy instructors. We caught up with Troy and Brian during their downtime to get their thoughts on their favorite part of teaching, the value of the classes for Users, and why the handson environment works well for learning.
Making a Difference Troy has been teaching Microsoft Dynamics AX Users for five years, focusing on inventory costing and valuation, security, and business intelligence. Brian has been teaching for eight, with specialties in inventory, product costing, and the projects module for distribution and manufacturing companies. Both find the experience rewarding and an opportunity for them to give back and gain new skills. “I like seeing those lightbulbs go off and seeing people ‘get it’,” says Troy. “People all of a sudden have this huge win and are glad they showed up. It’s all about giving people information and really making a difference in their careers.”
Value for You Troy and Brian have similar ideas as to the value of Academy courses, agreeing that it is in the depth of information covered during courses and the ability to learn from peers as well as the instructors.
Academy courses are different than traditional webinars or even in-person lectures in that Users take the class with a computer in front of them, working in Microsoft Dynamics AX alongside their peers and following the instructor’s lead. “The hands-on environment is successful because Users can reproduce the material I’m teaching and make it a reality,” says Brian. “I can share my recommendations all day, but I don’t want them to accept my word blindly. I want them to know what they’re doing.” “And by following the examples and doing the work, the retention is much higher than if somebody was just talking about it,” says Troy. In-depth learning and peer influence have resulted in significant success for Users when they go back to their office and own implementation. “The comment I get the most is that there are a lot of learning courses out there, but students feel they get the most detailed info out of Academy as compared to other industry-focused classes and that they can really use the information they’ve learned,” says Troy. Brian has heard back from students who have been able to reduce the amount of time put into various tasks, in some cases reducing numerous days to a few hours. “The great thing about this is that it’s a result from methodologies I’ve put together,” says Brian. “They’re able to use the product the way it’s intended to be used, and they no longer have to worry about getting the information they need.” AXUG

uring its first 122 years, Marshalltown Company established itself as a leading manufacturer of construction tools. It earned the confidence of construction professionals and homeowners worldwide by focusing on quality. The Marshalltown brick trowel, for example, sets the standard for strength and flexibility because it is forged from a single piece of tempered steel rather than being welded. A Marshalltown pointing trowel even made it into WIRED magazine, where it was included alongside high-end (and high-priced) tech gadgets every archeologist should own. As the company embarks on its next 122 years, its IT team is borrowing a bit of the trowel’s DNA as it builds an IT infrastructure made of fewer and more tightly integrated components. The evolving infrastructure will continue to rely on Microsoft Dynamics AX as the core system, but it will also draw on the emerging power of mobile computing to extend the power of Microsoft Dynamics AX onto the factory floor. And for a company whose success depends in large part on next-day delivery of the thousands of items it sells each day, reducing errors and other waste while improving efficiencies is more than a benefit; it’s a requirement. “We wanted to improve manufacturing, planning, customer service – everything,” says Jeff Schneider, technology engineer, recalling the initial deployment of Microsoft Dynamics AX in 2005. Shortly after the deployment, the company joined AXUG. Members of the company’s IT team have been active in the Minnesota Chapter and attend the annual AXUG Summit. They believe the monthly chapter meetings are an opportunity to learn from others who use Microsoft Dynamics AX technology on a daily basis. “We’ve integrated most all company functions into Microsoft Dynamics AX, from sales to purchasing to production to financials. Having all that information readily available has helped us make dramatic improvements, including cutting deliveries from five days to the next business day in most cases.” Now, Schneider says that he and his colleagues are ready to use mobility to take it to the next level in conjunction with the upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, which is planned for next year. “We can see that the future is mobility, specifically iPods and iPads,”
he says. “Where does it say you can’t use an iPad in a factory?” Not anywhere at Marshalltown, that’s for sure. Though instructive, Schneider recalls the company’s first attempt at mobility as clumsy and expensive. “We were using a more traditional approach, using scanners with a terminal interface on them to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics AX,” he says. Rather than running a Web browser, Schneider built a native app that can run on an iPod or iPad that’s equipped with a bar code scanner. “We developed the application ourselves, and then we developed a way to link it into Microsoft Dynamics AX,” he says. “And it’s awesome.” Benefits of the app include an improved experience for those who work on the factory floor. “The display is easier to navigate and read,” says Schneider. “It’s intuitive about what the next step is based on what the User scanned, and it automatically detects and corrects errors that might occur during manual entry.” The ease of use is closely related to another benefit of the app. “With younger factory workers, you put an iPod or iPad in their hands, and you don’t need to train them,” says Schneider. “There is no learning curve.” Using an app to tightly link mobile devices with the overall system provides more control over security, enhances communication between the factory floor and management, reduces the amount of spontaneous decision making required of end Users, and dramatically improves accuracy. “We have never been as accurate in terms of our inventory as we are today,” Schneider says. “A lot of that is Microsoft Dynamics AX, but a lot of it is the devices. With the computing power our factory workers now have in their hands, the sky is the limit. The potential to use them for more functions is unlimited.” He believes the benefits of more mobile functionality will be equally unlimited. While he feels they’ve barely tapped the communications capabilities, he says the value of device management and the ability to track and manage productivity at a unit level is already making itself known at the company level. “If we can save someone 15 minutes every day, it really adds up in a year in an environment where we’re making and shipping thousands of items a day,” he says. “Our industry is still not back from the recession, and this will help make us a survivor AXUG for the next 122 years.”
T T & tips & tricks Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, SQL Server 2012, and AlwaysOn Issue with AOS Install by Brandon George
I
want to address a specific setup issue I recently encountered with a client in setting up Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 with SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn technology. SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn technology is about enabling active-active high-availability options for Microsoft Dynamics AX Customers. Read more about this at http://dynamicsax.blogspot.com/2012/06/ax-2012-new-high-avalability-options. html. Actually, this is a very interesting issue, one that does not have much public coverage, yet it would seem it would. While I’m unsure of the combination of setup and settings that causes such a state, I do know that this is an issue directly related to setting up an AOS that points to the Virtual Name of a Synchronous SQL Server 2012: AlwaysOn Active-Active node. What we run into is that the AOS reports as if the install took place. However, in looking at the setup log, you will see something similar to the following:
Granting AOS account access to database [DatabaseName] on server [Virtual SQL Server Name.]
Component installation task stopped due to an error.
The network path was not found.
System.IO.IOException: The network path was not found. S260FinishedInfo

AXUG Magazine
Now, that is not the full error message at all, but it contains the keywords that most people would search on to reach this post…and therefore reach the solution! When faced with this scenario, it would seem the issue is the installation program running into an issue with the resolution of the Virtual SQL Server 2012 name, to the current primary node of the AlwaysOn Group for the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Database. The path around this issue, at least at the time of this writing, is to target the node name of the primary SQL Server 2012 instance for the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 database. This targeting should be as part of the install process when selecting which SQL Server and corresponding database in which the AOS should connect to. In doing this, you can then have a successful install of your new AOS. After having a successful run at installing your new Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 AOS, you can now use the server configuration utility, specify the virtual SQL Server 2012 name, restart the AOS, and everything should be working correctly. A community post about a similar issue to this can be found at http://dynamics-ax.blogspot.com/2012/06/ax-2012-new-highavalability-options.html. This issue was directly related to the Remote Registry Service of the targeted SQL Server box not running. This could be the issue you’re facing if you’re not trying to use AlwaysOn for SQL Server 2012. Finally, let me add a recently updated Microsoft TechNet article on supported SQL Server topology for AX 2012: http://technet. microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd362068.aspx Here we can see the supported scenarios, in which the Synchronous for SQL Server 2012 is one of those. I welcome any feedback and specific details on this topic. At the very least you can use the above to be able to easily get past such installation woes while still using the desired SQL Server 2012 topology.

Navigating Navigation by Joel Leichty & Jan Sorensen
E
fficient navigation within Microsoft Dynamics AX is a key factor in creating a positive User experience. Users often find themselves using filters to select specific criteria in list pages. By saving these custom filters and queries, the User can select the saved filter from a drop down list and retrieve the data without repeatedly entering in the same criteria. The Navigation pane provides a flexible structure that lets Users view menu options in a variety of ways. Standard menu options that are frequently used can be saved as a favorite and modified to use the custom filters and queries that the User has created. Because the navigation pane is always visible (unless the User chooses the
auto-hide feature or manually closes it), unnecessary steps can be eliminated when using these favorites during daily task processing. Role centers in Microsoft Dynamics AX provide a snapshot of information based on a defined system role. These custom filters and queries can also be saved as cues and added to role centers in both the Rich Client and on Enterprise Portal.

How to Create the Initial Vendor 1099 Information During a
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Implementation by Rick Doss & Byron Bordeaux
A
common task for most Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 implementations is to update the current year vendor information for 1099 reporting. Initially, the 1099 vendor transactions will need to be migrated to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012; however, there should be no update to the general ledger. The following is an example of a process to manually enter a sample 1099 vendor invoice (this will be imported via a ledger journal template during cutover) and manually recording the payment to the vendor. The 1099 balance will be verified after posting on the vendor record. A 1099 summary and detail report will be run from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to verify the 1099 balances are captured and reported correctly.
Key Requirements and Assumptions:
»» A general journal will be used to record the 1099 vendor AP
invoice. The AP invoices will be imported using the ledger journal data migration template. »» The 1099 vendor balance migration should be imported before the open AP import. »» 1099 vendors must be indicated to “Report 1099” on the master vendor record within Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. A federal tax ID is also required. If necessary, a “doing business as” name and a 1099 box would be specified for the vendor. »» A “1099” journal name will be created and used for the imported 1099 vendor invoices. By using the 1099 journal name, it is possible to identify the general journals that were created for the loading of 1099 balances. »» The migration of 1099 vendor balances will not impact the general ledger. »» This will be accomplished by first crediting the vendor account
and debiting a specified AP account when recording the invoice. Then, during payment, debit the same vendor account and credit the same AP account for the same dollar amount during payment. »» When recording the payment, the 1099 field must be populated with the same dollar amount on the corresponding vendor invoice. Create a new 1099 method of payment to allow for separation of transactions. Also, create a new 1099 number sequence to use specifically with this journal name. »» The 1099 vendor invoice will then be paid by using the payment proposal process in the AP module. A payment journal will be created, and then, by using payment proposal functionality, the invoice will be transferred to the payment journal for each 1099 vendor. Create a “1099P” journal name; it is also necessary to create a journal name to be used for the 1099 vendor payment. This journal name will be used in the AP payment journal. It will also have the same default AP account offset, and use the same voucher series as the “1099” journal name previously created. »» Open AP would be zero after this 1099 migration process, and the GL will not be impacted. There will be no open transactions remaining in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 after the payments are posted. »» The 1099 balances and transaction history will exist for each 1099 vendor after this process is run within Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Standard Microsoft Dynamics AX reports may be used to verify the Tax 1099 summary and detail for each 1099 vendor. AXUG Tip submitted by Rick Doss and Byron Bordeaux of Tribridge.

trusted brand at the breakfast table, Sunny Queen Australia wanted to enhance inventory management and improve service delivery in order to offer finest-quality fresh farm eggs and egg products to Australians. With Microsoft Dynamics AX, Sunny Queen successfully transformed its integrated supply chain, which resulted in significant efficiency gains, enhanced inventory management, and increased business visibility. Founded in 1930, Sunny Queen is now one of Australia’s top egg and egg product suppliers with sales and distribution offices spanning the country. Sunny Queen’s value-added egg product range is seeing fast-growing demand from a wide range of food service customers. The company is constantly reviewing ways to move products through the supply chain faster, to get them to the supermarket shelves at their freshest. To be truly effective, Sunny Queen knew that it needed to solve its inventory control issues, eliminate manual processes, and streamline its end-to-end supply chain. A review of the company’s IT infrastructure revealed a legacy system that could not meet future requirements. After an extensive evaluation, Sunny Queen decided on Scalable Data Systems and Microsoft Dynamics AX. The solution was a complete end-to-end supply chain, process manufacturing, and distribution model, including Scalable’s Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Rebates modules along with demand planning, business intelligence (BI), and warehouse automation. In addition, Sunny Queen also decided to virtualize its systems with Microsoft Hyper-V® and implemented Microsoft Terminal and Remote Desktop Services to enable remote access to Microsoft Dynamics AX. “Unlike our previous system, Microsoft Dynamics AX is purpose-built to address the unique needs of our industry,” said Robert Yarnold,
national IT and communications manager at Sunny Queen Australia. “As a fully-integrated system, Microsoft Dynamics AX gives us ‘one version of the truth’ across all business functions. We are also assured by its proven robustness and scalability.” “We are pleased with the service and dedication of Scalable Data Systems, who stationed staff at each of our offices for two days after the system went live to ensure that the system ran like clockwork,” he added. The first phase saw the implementation of finance, inventory, sales, and trade, with production shortly after, while the second phase included implementation of the RF-SMART warehouse management solution across Sunny Queen’s six distribution centers. Effective inventory management is key to Sunny Queen’s success, and instead of manually reconciling inventory figures like before, all data is now consolidated at the general ledger, which enhances Sunny Queen’s inventory visibility − from stock received from farms to stock on hand to stock in transit. With an integrated supply chain, Sunny Queen has successfully eliminated manual processes and streamlined efficiencies. For example, through the use of Scalable’s EDI module, Sunny Queen can now process customer orders faster by electronically sending, receiving, and acknowledging customer orders and supplier purchase orders. Upon receipt of customer orders, warehouse processes automatically generate pick and pack orders on shelves by load, which provides clear instructions to forklift drivers on exact lots for truck loading. Customers are informed electronically regarding expected delivery dates, and upon the customer’s acknowledgement of receipt, the invoice is automatically generated and sent electronically to the customer. By virtualizing its systems with Microsoft Hyper-V and implementing Microsoft Terminal and Remote Desktop Services to
enable remote access to Microsoft Dynamics AX, Sunny Queen gained significant efficiency savings. “We now have a very stable system that delivers peace of mind with its live migration and failover clustering capabilities,” said Yarnold. With better visibility of customers’ historical purchase behavior, demand planning is now enhanced. “Though we are dealing with hens who cannot be ‘rushed’ into producing eggs to meet our demand, Microsoft Dynamics AX gives us the enhanced visibility to work with our farms to smooth out the production,” added Yarnold. Sunny Queen can now automatically tally weekly receipts from its suppliers and generate a recipient-created tax invoice, which is sent to the supplier for verification against their records. This means discrepancies are adjusted in the following week’s invoice. Managing rebates and joint promotions with large retailers is now much simpler using Scalable’s Rebate Management solution. “We are assured that the sales figures captured are accurate. Based on these figures, rebates can now be easily calculated. No time is lost in reconciling our figures against the retailers’ records, which helps to improve customer service levels and satisfaction,” said Yarnold. Sunny Queen also achieves better control when dealing with special pricing requests for in-store promotions. “Special rebates can now be easily input into the system for electronic approval. With rolebased secured access, we now have full control over rebates and special product costing,” he added. Sunny Queen’s management can now review business performance in greater granularity by product and region. Delivered margin reports also provide critical visibility into profitability. “Instead of waiting a month to know if we are profitable on certain products, this solution provides real-time visibility into margins and profitability,” concluded Yarnold. “This enables faster pricing decisions, which increases our responsiveness to dynamic market conditions and empowers us to go to market quicker with new products.” AXUG

“BIG DATA”
Everyone is Talking About
by Mike Skillingstad, Total Dynamics Solutions
“B
ig Data” is a term that’s everywhere. For example, a recent Wall Street Journal headline read, “Big Data Powers Revolution in Decision Making”, and Forbes recently said, “Big Data is Hot! Now What?” Wikipedia defines Big Data as “a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools.” Meanwhile, SAS believes that “Big Data is a popular term used to describe the exponential growth, availability, and use of information, both structured and non-structured.” While I believe these are accurate descriptions, I would like to take it a step further and argue that Big Data can actually be defined simply as any amount of data your organization cannot harvest and effectively use with the tools it currently has available. The world is increasingly interconnected, and as a result, is creating an explosion of data growth. Of the 7 billion people in this world, 5.1 billion own a cell phone. Each day we send more than 11 million text messages, watch more than 2.8 billion YouTube videos, and perform more than 5 billion Google searches. The volume, variety, and velocity of data being created each day, hour, and minute are staggering and will only continue to grow. To better understand what Big Data is, we should step back in time to recall what has brought us to this data revolution. In 1936, the first programmable computer was developed. The original Internet was developed in 1969, soon followed by the release of SAP (the first enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations). In 1974/75, the first personal computers came to market, and Microsoft Windows appeared in 1983. In 1986, the idea of the “gigabyte” was founded, and in 1990, the term “ERP” was coined by Gartner. More recently, an EMC Corporation study concluded that by 2010, we had created 1.2 trillion gigabytes (1.2 zettabytes) of data. Big Data indeed! Despite the abundance of Big Data, recent surveys of senior business leaders (CIOs, CFOs, and CEOs) reveal that one out of two feel they do not have access to the information that they need to make critical business decisions. One out of three said they make frequent decisions with a lack of trust in their data. If we don’t have the information we need, and we do not trust the data we already have, is exponentially more data really going to help? Probably not. If you are like most organizations, you may not be ready for the new “Big Data Train,” because you still struggle to effectively utilize the data you already have. So the question is, “how does your organization get control of your existing data and become more datadriven?” The answer has two parts. The first part is implementing a robust business intelligence environment, where relevant raw data is organized and converted into game-changing information. The second part involves building a culture of accountability and fact-based discipline through integrated planning and feedback processes.
The Benefit of Implementing a Robust Business Intelligence Environment Imagine the possibilities when you begin to fully unlock your data and mine the information. What if you could reveal new insights in almost real-time, allowing your organization to easily adjust and transform problems into possibilities and possibilities into proactive strategy? The sad reality is most companies cannot quickly answer even the most basic questions such as, “how much do I sell to my top customers?” or “which of our products makes the most margin?” Therefore, organizations armed with business intelligence tools that unlock their current data will have an enormous competitive advantage because they will be in a better position to uncover new insights and to create new opportunities both from their existing data and from new Big Data streams.
Becoming a Data-Driven Company In a research study published last year, professor Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT and his colleagues concluded that of the 179 large companies they studied, those adopting “data-driven decision making” achieved profitability gains that were six percent higher (on average) than other factors could explain. However, being data-driven is not just about having more or even better data; it’s part of a company’s culture. Real competitive advantage comes from creating an organizational culture where fact-based information drives decision making. Unfortunately, organizations have become so content with the lack of answers available from their existing software tools, their employees have stopped asking questions and continue to rely on the highest paid person’s opinion (“HiPPO”). Harvard Business Review recently called Big Data a “Management Revolution.” How true. Data-driven companies constantly push information down through their organizations; they use sophisticated planning tools to create accountability across their business, and they develop dynamic feedback mechanisms to reinforce good decisions and quickly course-correct poor performance. If that is not a revolutionary approach to management, I am not sure what is. In my opinion, becoming data-driven really boils down to just two things: leadership and the right set of tools/processes. Good leaders have never had all the answers, they just know the right questions to ask. As a leader, one question you should ask is, “do I have the right tools and processes to fully unlock my data, so my company can survive in this new world of Big Data?”
The Bottom Line If your organization still plans and reports using spreadsheets, if you cannot identify which 20 percent of your sales drives 80 percent of your profit, or if you have stopped asking questions because it takes too long to get the answers, then now is the time to gain control of your data and transform your organizational culture. The Big Data Train is leaving the station. The question is, will you be on it? AXUG Winter 2013

microsoft consulting services M icrosoft Services as a business unit has been around since 1991, and the Microsoft Business Solutions group that includes Microsoft Dynamics applications started in 2001 with the acquisition of Great Plains Software. Two years ago Microsoft Services expanded their reach globally and have now completed thousands of Microsoft Dynamics projects in enterprises across a variety of industries. We sat down with Paul Mirts, general manager of Microsoft Consulting Services for the Microsoft Dynamics business, and Renee Dothard, managing architect for Microsoft Consulting Services for Microsoft Dynamics, to learn more about the Microsoft Consulting Services team. Paul has been with Microsoft for 15 years and has global accountability for Microsoft enterprise services for Microsoft Dynamics. Renee has 15 years of Microsoft Dynamics AX experience, starting with the product in version 1.5. as an employee of Damgaard, then working for a Partner before taking a role at Microsoft. We talked with Paul and Renee about how their team engages with Users, the services they offer, and what they recommend Users do before their next upgrade. AXUG®: How does your team become engaged with Users? Do you get leads from the sales team? Paul Mirts (PM): We hear from both the field and Partners. We provide the field with industry or technical expertise in those opportunities and work with Partners on implementations and quality assurance to ensure see if the solution is technically sound and supportable. From time to time we might get a direct engagement from one of the product groups, especially if it’s an organization that’s in a particular segment or industry where we’re looking to do more business. AXUG: You said you receive some of your Customer leads from Partners. How do you engage with Partners in those situations? Renee Dothard (RD): In most of our engagements, we’re working with a Partner to provide services in one form or another, sometimes

as a result of a specific solution an ISV is bringing in. Other times add-on solutions are needed, but an ISV solution isn’t already on the table. When that happens, we typically start by looking at the pool of ISVs that have achieved Certified for Microsoft Dynamics (CfMD) status for their products. It’s really important for our Customers to know that we’re looking at ISVs that have a high level of quality and that have reached a certification level and Microsoft’s standards.
AXUG: Not that there is a “typical” implementation, but if there was to be a typical one, what would it look like? RD: You hit on it as “typical” really isn’t the right word. Most of our Customers are at the enterprise level and are larger clients that are more globally engaged. Some of them fall into incubation type areas, with retail being one of them. They’re not necessarily large Customers in that space, but it is an area where we want to foster adoption. We also work with a lot of Customers who want Microsoft to be involved in the implementation along with their Partner.
AXUG: What services do you offer to a User after the implementation? RD: Our consulting team and architects supply support through the implementation, and then there’s a transition to our Premier Services team for that ongoing maintenance and support of their modified solution. PM: One of the things we’ve spent a lot of time looking at is what a Customer asks for in terms of support for their business solution. It’s not good enough to just do the implementation and as such, we’ve spent a lot of time revamping our offerings and creating Premier Mission Critical (PMC) for Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Dynamics AX. Under each support package, we have designed a set of services that are proactive and look at solution sustainability. Although we do not directly support ISV add-on products, we take an inclusive view of the entire solution and provide enhanced service level agreements (SLAs) to make sure we’re meeting or exceeding our Customers’ expectations. We’re stepping up from what we’ve traditionally done and look to ramp up even more in the next 12 to 18 months. AXUG: How is success measured on your team? PM: The first thing is how satisfied the Customer is. All of the people in our organization have goals aligned with Customer satisfaction.
showcase microsoft member
AXUG: When is the best time for a Customer to do that if they didn’t do it before their initial implementation? Is it something they can consider before an upgrade? RD: They can do it at any time. For example, if you’re a global organization, the old versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX didn’t allow you to standardize in a global fashion, but Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 does. If you spend time looking at your processes, you can find ways to achieve easier maintenance, not just from a system perspective, but also in your overall business. PM: Renee makes a great point. There’s also a tremendous amount of opportunity in the cloud. When you think about the next six to 12 months, there will be even more leveragability that will play out with Windows Azure. The old adage of the 80/20 rule – when do you modify versus use out-of-the-box functionality – is even more important than ever for our Customers to be agile and successful. We want Customers to look at out-of-the-box options before we look at doing modifications. RD: That’s definitely a critical message. Out-of-the-box functionality gives Users the opportunity to truly standardize and use the breadth of the product as intended. Sometimes Customers request modifications and never use the software on its own, checking out the nooks and crannies, to see what it could do for them. The more you keep the modifications down, the more standardized you can be. There’s an important component there, and as architects, we want Users to adopt the system successfully. AXUG: What’s your call to action for those looking at an upgrade? PM: Check out the current product roadmap to understand the capabilities that are coming. RD: We’re willing to engage with Customers to do an upgrade assessment to see what it will take for them to do the upgrade from an infrastructure perspective.
“It’s not good enough to just do the implementation and as such, we’ve spent a lot of time revamping our offerings and creating Premier Mission Critical (PMC) for Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Dynamics AX.” Paul Mirts
Another is how well we’ve helped educate the Partner community on how to use our implementation tools to better service our products. RM: One thing we want to get out there is our approach to implementation from a process perspective. Implementations in the past were more module-based, but it’s becoming a more mature marketplace, and Customers and Partners need to look at the processes needed to run a Customer’s business. Success of adoption is how the Customer will use the software in the processes of their business, not just relying on the software to run their business. It’s important that they think of their business processes first and foremost, and of implementing the software second.
renee doth ard
AXUG: What’s the most rewarding aspect of your role? RD: Seeing the growth of the product, the channel, and our Customers over the years. I still have a .5 beta Atlanta CD, though it’s in an archive frame now, and seeing where Microsoft has taken the product is extremely rewarding. Additionally, as an architect and consultant, I love seeing how Customers use and grow with the product. They continue to upgrade, enhance, and grow their businesses with our product. Watching them go live and continue with success is what we live for. PM: A lot of it for me is the growth and maturity of the business – where it started and where it is today. Also, from a broader Microsoft ecosystem, the awareness of Microsoft Dynamics and its impact on Customers in terms of business values has been amazing. The momentum we’ve seen in the market is tremendous, and it’s great to see that response from Customers and Partners.

Data Masons Software, LLC
AXUG: Tell me about Data Masons. Dennis Bruce (DB): Data Masons has been around since 1996, and we started focusing on Microsoft Dynamics in 2004. We’ve seen major growth since 2008 as we have a niche in the market, providing a complete electronic data interchange (EDI) solution for the Microsoft Dynamics ERP platforms. We specialize and concentrate on EDI compliance and integration for Microsoft Dynamics AX. AXUG: Tell me about your EDI solution. DB: Our product, Vantage Point EDI for Microsoft Dynamics AX, includes a native translator, an ASN packing system, EDI document management, a UCC-128 label print engine, powerful data storage for turnaround documents, and business connectors for tight integration to Microsoft Dynamics. It is also the only EDI solution to have earned the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics AX designation. This is something that we are extremely proud of. AXUG: How do you continue to innovate your product? DB: We recently released a new, optimized User interface designed to improve the solution’s ease of use and to standardize the User experience on current Microsoft technologies, and we’ll look to build on that in the near future. Our focus this year has also been on delivering analytics around EDI transactions. We’ll also continue to build out our full automation framework because we’re seeing that companies are looking for full, end-toend automation of their EDI processes. To have that automation, Customers need full auditing around transactions. They have

and more. Setting up a framework for all of those business processes puts Users squarely in the middle of their supply chain and enables them to not just look at what their Customers want, but also what the Microsoft Dynamics AX User wants to see within their organization. AXUG: You joined us again this year as a Sponsor of AXUG Summit. What were your key takeaways from the event? DB: The theme I took away from Summit is centered on Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. A lot of people we spoke to are adopting it because they want to shed their customizations and go with built-in functionality. That is a strong message for us because years ago we decided to not embed our product into Microsoft Dynamics AX. It was a huge bet for us, actually, and now it’s paying off as people want to bring in ISV solutions that don’t require Microsoft Dynamics AX customizations. Another takeaway is that our Certified for Microsoft Dynamics accreditations matter to Users and Partners. People want to know that we’re certified and that we can integrate in and out of Microsoft Dynamics AX. When you’re selling software, it’s not like going to the store and having the box in your hand. Having this certification takes the doubt off the table. AXUG: What do you like most about working with the Microsoft Dynamics AX User community? DB: I have a long history with Microsoft Dynamics AX as I used to work for Damgaard when they brought Axapta to the United States. One of the things I’ve seen from 1999 to 2012 is the knowledge level of Microsoft Dynamics AX Users is incredibly deep. Organizations that leverage Microsoft Dynamics AX require a bigger commitment from
within their organizations, so you’ll typically see CIOs, directors, heads of departments, and the like at these conferences. Getting into conversations with people who head up international supply chains is much different than talking with people about pushing an AP journal. You realize you’re playing at a higher level, and Microsoft needs to be on top of their game from these industry and vertical standpoints. In the same regard, I’ve seen every version since 1.0, and I’ve never seen the Microsoft Dynamics AX User community happier than they are with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. At my very first Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner conference in 1999, there were 25 people in attendance, and 15 of them worked for Damgaard. I spoke at the AXUG Summit’s general session this year, and there were 900 people in the room. A lot has changed in 13 years, and I’ve had the privilege of seeing those changes. And during all that change, the product, Partner communities, and User communities still continue to impress me. AXUG: That type of history with the product is a legacy. What do you hope is the next step for Microsoft Dynamics AX? DB: I think we’ll see a greater integration of all of Microsoft’s solutions – including Skype, hardware, SharePoint, etc. – into Microsoft Dynamics AX. You’ll see more functionality specific to industries. Obviously there will be technical improvements through the next versions, but digging in deep from an industry view will be the place to really start growing. Companies want products that speak to their specific needs, so I could see taking that specific IP and building functionality into the product, then letting the Microsoft Dynamics AX community round it out to a six-digit SIC code.
