Creating a simple AIF service in AX 2009 is a whole lot more simple than one would think. In this post we will cover the first few steps to setup the creation of one. For our example, we will be simulating an AIF service that accepts PO related info to post a pack slip. Our very simple service will process an XML document into a staging table for batch processing later by a Batch Job in AX.

Step 1

Create a table with the structure that you want to store data for. We will be collecting info related to POs.
 

Table: EDIPurchPackSlipTable
Fields:

SenderID

PurchId

LineNum / InventTransId

Qty

DocumentDate

DocId

Status

 

If you need to track Pallet ID or InventBatchID, you can also add them.

SendorId: EDI Trading Partner ID
PurchId: PO #
LineNum / InventTransId: Either one to identify what line we are working with
Qty: quantity to post
DocumentDate: The date the document was created
DocId: Unique number value from a number sequence that is unique to each record
Status: Status in the workflow of processing; should be initialized on record create to something like Created ( then modified as this record go through the workflow. Ie; Created > Registered > Posted | Error )

The Next Step...
