Marking in Microsoft Dynamics AX, Part 1: Understand the Basics

February 4 2016

My first Microsoft Dynamics AX project was in Hamburg Germany, in September 2004. This was a big company that went from SAP to AX.

This is the best introduction to Marking that I have ever read. As you say it has never received the attention it deserves in the standard documentation, yet in many implementations it is critical to the management of the stock reservations and the costing. I look forward to part 2.

Thank you! When I try to mark one SO-123 line with PO-123,but there is no line exsits in Marking form. Do you know what is the logic behind that? I tried another line, it shows PO-abc lines only. Looking forward to your reply.

Tuo88!! First question: your costing method for the item you are testing with? Hopefully not std cost THen I do not understand your scenario. Marking a sales line with a po line is easy enough. No matter whether you do it from the PO line for from the Sales line. You are saying you clicked the box and hit ok and there is a blank screen still? Don't understand at all what "PO-abc lines" are.
