Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta) 2009 Development IV (80014)
This four-day Development IV in Microsoft Dynamics AX course teaches the student advanced X++ development techniques and examines how the Microsoft Dynamics AX application is structured.
It covers both technical and application specific areas of Microsoft Dynamics AX. The technical section ensures that the student has obtained all necessary technical knowledge before progressing to the application specific section. It only covers areas that have not been included in Microsoft Dynamics AX Development classes I, II & III.
The application specific section aims at helping the student understand the more complicated processes within Microsoft Dynamics AX. The training material is useful as a reference when a refresher of the process is needed. It covers six key Microsoft Dynamics AX modules; Ledger, Trade, Inventory, Production, Project and Workflow, and goes into detail about the technical aspects of some of the main functions within each of these modules.
Module 1: Point-of-Sale Project
This module outlines the development project that will be undertaken throughout the course. As the different technical and application specific areas are taught, the POS module is developed. This chapter introduces the initial basic design from which the student will build the module, and the students contribute to their own final design.
