If you are interested in seeing how you can set up the Sales and Marketing area of Dynamics AX to turn it into your very own integrated XRM system, then you are in luck – I have just released volume #14 or my Dynamics AX 2012 Barebones Configuration Guides series which focuses on configuring the Sales And Marketing area within Dynamics AX which gives you a general overview and step by step instructions to set up most of its features and functions. Within the 566 pages I cover:

Over the past month I have been finishing up another of my books within the Dynamics AX 2012 Barebones Configuration Guides and have just released out the #13 – Configuring Production Control Within Dynamics AX. For anyone interested in a general overview of how to configure Production Control within Dynamics AX with step by step instructions, then you may want to take a look at it. Read More

We are only days away from the official launch of the R3 Release of Dynamics AX, and it is chock full of new functionality. Everyone has been talking about the new Warehouse and Transportation Management functions that are included in this new release, but if that’s not the half of it. There is so much more that you should be looking forward to, and here is a quick review of some of the other features that you should watch out for. Read More

I have created a few reference books that are available on Amazon that combine all of the information I post about into an easy to reference and lightweight format.  When working through some of the more lengthy configurations these are a much better resource than the blog posts.  Also, as I compiled these I was able to add additional notes and sections that you were not in the original posts, so you may find even more useful information in them.

You can view my Author page on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Murray-Fife/e/B00G9CNJPQ also, you here are links to all of my books by series.

Dynamics AX Tips & Tricks Series 

The Tips & Tricks series is a compilation of all the cool things that I have found that you can do within Dynamics AX, and are also the basis for my Tips & Tricks presentations that I have been giving for the AXUG, and online.  Unfortunately book page size restrictions mean that I can only fit 50 tips & tricks per book, but I will create new volumes every time I reach the 50 Tip mark,

At Convergence this year I rolled out a book with 50 Tips & Tricks for Dynamics AX that seemed to go down really well with everyone – hopefully not just because I was giving away copies for free 😉

This week, I hit milestone, and realized that I had enough content for a second volume of trips and tricks and have compiled them into a new book. Just like the other book, this one contains 50 more tips and tricks for dynamics AX ranging from UI tips, to functional tricks that you all may find interesting. Additionally, there is a new section in this book dedicated to Workflow, and how you can tweak workflows to get the most out of Dynamics AX.

If your are interested in taking a look, then you can see it on the CreateSpace here: https://www.createspace.com/4721214 and it should also be available on Amazon within 5 or so days.

Over the past couple of months I have been releasing out a few blueprints that focus on the areas that people want to tackle within Dynamics AX as a phase two or later of their implementation project, but sometimes don’t quite know where to start.

To make it easier to access these blueprints, last week I compiled the some of the more popular blueprints into a larger compilation for easier reference, and published it out as a paperback, and also Kindle version.

The topics that are included in the first volume are:

• Create configured products
• Improve costing analysis through costing sheets
• Use lean manufacturing processes to streamline productions
• Manage service jobs through service management
• Streamline the vendor onboarding process through the Vendor Portal
• Track vendor performance and scorecards
• Create retail stores and use POS registers

If you are interested in taking a look then just track the book down on Amazon by following this link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1496093097/

A couple of months ago I published the first edition of my Introduction to Dynamics AX book, which illustrated the “cooking demo” that we usually start with when we are giving foundation demonstrations for Dynamics AX 2012.

This weekend we updated the book to include another 200+ pages that also illustrate all of the common functional features that we show during a soup to nuts demonstration of Dynamics AX, making it a great companion book now for anyone who is trying to figure out at a high level how Dynamics AX works, and also what does it do.

If your are interested in taking a peek inside I have published a preview version which allows you download a sample of the book, showing the table of contents and also sample sections from the chapters.  Here is a link to the preview: https://www.createspace.com/pub/community/give.review.do?id=1143453&rewrite=true

It should also be available on Amazon within 5 or so days, although you can also view it see now on the CreateSpace here: https://www.createspace.com/4685222

The Kindle edition of this book is in the works, but unfortunately with Convergence coming up, within a week or so that is consuming a lot of my time, it may be a couple of weeks before it’s available.

PS.  If you are going to be at Convergence 14, track me down and say hi.  Also please come to my presentations (UBAX002 – How2: 40+ tips in 90 minutes in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 & UBAX001 – Challenge the experts, no question is out of bounds: Microsoft Dynamics AX MVP panel) on Friday (March 7^th) so that I’m not lonely J

Last week we test drove an idea at a demo, and rather than giving them a PowerPoint, we created a book as a handout that we gave to almost all of the people there. It shows all of the initial orientation demonstration that includes navigation, reporting etc. and also includes screen shots of all the areas within Dynamics AX that a Distribution based company would be interested in including all of the Advanced Supply Chain Software add ins that we have developed here at I.B.I.S.

Some people saw this on my desk and asked if for could get a copy, so I have made it available to everyone through CreateSpace, and Amazon (within the next 5 days) as well.

Also to make it a little more affordable, I republished it as a Black & White version rather than the Deluxe Full Color that I used last week.

So, if you want a hard copy, then just follow this link: https://www.createspace.com/4678806.

Also, for my loyal readers, use this discount code:YW8YHP6J to get an additional 25% off the list price.

Now I just need to work out the mechanics to get this working…
