Error while firming the planned order: "Lot ID for the production not specified"

Hi,

Sometimes it is possible to facing the error "LotID for the production is not specified." while firming the planned orders from 'Master Planning > Planned orders details'.

Solution:
Please make sure the number sequence settings for the Production must be setup as "Automatically". The above error will come if it is selected as 'Manual'.

Hope this helps.

Enterprise Portal: Failed to “Generate Proxies”

Hi,

While creating proxy class from AOT and after generating proxy for the same from Tools->Dev. Tools-> Web Dev. -> Proxy, using Generate Proxy form. It gives the errors "ClrObject static method invocation error."

To overcome this,
1. go to AOT->Classes->SysEPDeployment->createDevWebsiteProxyDir().
2. find and comment below line,

dir = epSharepointAdmin.GetAppCodeDirectoryFromSiteId(guid2str(epGlobalParam.DevelopmentSiteId));

3. replace it with (locate your virtual directory app_code folder)

dir = "C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\wss\\VirtualDirectories\\sharepoint80\\App_Code"; 

4. Save the class file.

Now, again run the 'Generate Proxy' class. 

It works fine.

Thanks.

Hi all,
I have installed and configured the Enterprise Portal for AX 2009 at our end.

I found the web and got some very helpful documents on some blogs. I am sharing those with you. Hope it will reduce your time to install and configure the EP on  AX2009.

You can find the EP docs from below link:

TFS error while startup AX 2009 clinent after installing VS 2010

If AX 2009 is configured with TFS 2008 and later you have installed VS 2010 on the same system, you will get the below error.

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client, Version=9.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken = b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies, The system cannot find the file specified.

Follow the steps to resolve this error:
1. Install VS 2008 Team Explorer.
2. Install VS 2008 SP1.
3. Install VS 2008 Team Explorer SP1.

This is because AX uses the 9.0.XXX version of TFS-Client assembly.
