==============

The tool can be downloaded at http://ax2012consignor.codeplex.com/

There are some additional information that needs to be addressed. So here is my “What does the FAQ’s say” ?

Question

Answer

What is the Consignor solution?

The Consignor integration tool made available for Dynamics AX is a multipurpose tool for creating, exporting and importing CSV-files, XML-files or Excel spreadsheets.

Is it a generic solution?

The tool should be regarded as a generic tool, but as the name suggest, it does have a ready to use integration to Consignor. CONSIGNOR is a system designed for easy and efficient printing of labels, to address and send goods which are to be handled and delivered by a range of carriers, for example Posten Norge, Bring, Schenker, Tollpost, DSV, DHL, Nor Lines, Ramberg, and many more who use EDI data. CONSIGNOR may also be used to print labels for carriers who are not set up to handle EDI data. For an updated list of EDI supported carriers, please see Consignors website http://www.edi-soft.com/.

Who can use the tool?

The tool has been specifically created to enable end-users and business consultants to perform data export and import, without knowing how do develop in Dynamics AX and X++. Creating an export/import definition can be done in a few minutes.

Can this replace my other integration solutions?

No. This tool has a specific purpose to easily extract data from Dynamics AX. It is not built to replace or compete with any other integration solution.

How much does it cost?

Nothing it’s free at CodePlex. But if you can add more functionality to it, it is expected that you share with the community.

Is it fast?

No. It’s is not very fast. When exporting to Excel it is capable of a 15-20 lines per second. Exporting to XML or CSV is a bit faster.

Can it import data?

Yes it can import data from. But this is a alfa release, meaning that more testing is required. The logics for evaluating the import must in many cases be developed in separate classes to perform as needed.

How can I get help?

On CodePlex there are some documentation. But you can also add questions and report issues.

Is it difficult to install?

No. For now, the solution is exported as a XPO with a Zero footprint in AX. Later we will add it as a model. The current build is done with AX 2012 R2 CU7. Please remember to check the “issue list” before you install.

Can I have a demo?

Yes. Nice people can have a demo. Just ask meJ


 

Happy DAX’ing J
