1. Configure Microsoft Dynamics AX for EHF electronic invoicing

The electronic invoices that you generate include required information, such as the contact person, invoice number, and address information. Microsoft Dynamics AX applies validation rules when invoices are generated so that you can verify that the correct information is entered. If you find errors, you can correct the errors before you submit the invoices.

You must set up folders where you can save the error messages, the XML files, and the EHF files. Microsoft Dynamics AX uses these folders to store source documents, processed documents, Extensible Stylesheet Language for Transformations (XSLT) files, and the error messages that are generated when the XML file is converted to EHF format. You can specify these folders when you set up AIF and set up the batch job for EHF electronic invoicing. For more information, see 3. Set up AIF for EHF electronic invoicing and 5. Set up batch processing for EHF electronic invoicing.

To configure Microsoft Dynamics AX for EHF electronic invoicing, set up the following folder structure in a shared location that is accessible from the Application Object Server (AOS) computer and from any client computers that are used as batch servers in your system.

  • \\Server\EHF\Sales\Error – Used to save error messages that are generated when the XML file is converted to the EHF format.

  • \\Server\EHF\Sales\Processed files – Used to save documents after they are processed. The documents are moved from the Target folder to this folder.

  • \\Server\EHF\Sales\Source – Used to save the XML file that is generated by Microsoft Dynamics AX.

  • \\Server\EHF\Sales\Target – Used to save the EHF file after the XML file has been processed.

  • \\Server\EHF\Sales\XSLT – Used to contain the XSLT schema file for collection letters.

2. Set up customer accounts for EHF electronic invoicing

Use the Customers form to specify the address and contact details for each company that you generate electronic invoices for. You can create contacts in the Contacts form and assign a contact to a customer account. The contact information is included when you generate an electronic invoice for a customer. For more information, see Kunder (formulär).

To set up a customer account for EHF electronic invoicing, follow these steps:

  1. Click Accounts receivable > Common > Customers > All customers.

  2. Double-click a customer account, or on the Action Pane, click Customer to create a customer account. For more information, see Skapa en kundpost.

  3. In the Customers form, click Edit, and then click the Addresses FastTab to verify that the country or region code, ZIP or postal code, and the street name are entered for the primary address.

  4. Click the Invoice and delivery FastTab, and then select the eInvoice check box to use electronic invoicing for customer transactions.

  5. On the Action Pane, on the Customer tab, click Contacts, and then click Add contacts to open the Contacts form.

3. Set up AIF for EHF electronic invoicing

Use the Outbound ports form to create an outbound port; set up services and adapters for an outbound port, and specify the AIF settings that are required to generate EHF electronic invoices.

You must scan for new adapters and services before you configure outbound ports for the first time. The port configuration is affected when there is a change in the Application Object Tree (AOT). You must also scan the adapters and services every time that a change that affects the port configuration is made to the AOT.

For information about how to configure the enhanced integration port, go to Managing integration ports.

To set up AIF for EHF electronic invoicing, follow these steps:

  1. Click System administration > Setup > Services and Application Integration Framework > Outbound ports.

  2. Create an outbound port, and then in the Port name and Description fields, enter a name and a description for the outbound port.

  3. In the Adapter field, select File system adapter. This adapter is used to create and save the EHF electronic invoices or collection letters.

  4. In the URI field, specify the Uniform resource identifier (URI) of the Source folder to save the sales invoices. For more information, see 1. Configure MSDAX for EHF electronic invoicing.

  5. On the Service contract customizations FastTab, click Service operations. In the Select service operations form, select the CustCollectionLetterService_NO.read service operation for sales invoices, and move it to the Selected service operations list. Close the form.

  6. In the Outbound ports form, select the Customize documents check box, and then click Data policies.

  7. In the Document data policies form, click Enable all to select all XML schema elements, and then close the form.
