Setup Canadian Demo Company

In Ax 2012, country based functionality is tied to an entities primary address. Recently when setting up a demo Canadian company, we needed to enter a registration number and a software identification code.

The software identification code was easy, as explained by the help - two letters followed by 6 numbers.

The registration number took a little more though - Ax validates this number. After quickly drilling through to the validation code, we found in a lovely piece of commenting the developers had left a sample number as part of a worked example - 100000041

Sometimes restoring the entire database is both unnecessary and inconvenient. Depending on who the tasks falls to (or who has time to complete it) there are a few different ways this can be achieved.

The DIXF currently supports 150 entities out of the box , and also provides the ability to create custom entities. To begin with, create a new processing group in the source system. Add the entity (or entities) to be exported to the processing group. Select Export to Ax Select an export location, file name and file format. This step will resemble the definition group export functionality. ...
