I just published out the draft copy of the Configuring Cash Management Within Dynamics AX 2012 (Volume #4 of the Bare Bones Configuration Guides series) on the Dynamics AX Companions website.

Yay! Today I launched my new Dynamics AX Companions (dynamicsaxcompanions.com) website which despite what you may imply from the name is not a dating site for Dynamics AX users.
It is a consolidation site where I am going to post all of the blog posts that are scattered about on WordPress to make it easier to find the information that I have created for you all.
This is also where you will be able to download the source files for all of the presentations that I have posted to SlideShare, and Scribd, in their original format so that you will be able to see all of the screen shot details that you haven’t been able to see in the past because those sites compress the images during the upload process.
Also over the next few weeks I will be posting the drafts of my upcoming Dynamics AX Companion Series books so that you can get a sneak preview of them in their raw state while I polish up all of the details. If you are working through the Bare Bones Configuration Guide series, then this will give you access to the raw footage for you to follow and test out while I am still writing all of the narratives for them.
Make sure you register and also drop me notes with your feedback on the site. I have slaved for days (3) over this site and think it is pretty cool.
Over the weekend I worked managed to finish off the second book within my Barebones Configuration Guide series that focuses on the initial Organization configuration and setup that you would need to do if you were setting up a system from scratch. This short (105 page) guide includes the following topics:
CONFIGURING YOUR ORGANIZATION
CONFIGURING YOUR LEGAL ENTITY

With the Release of the Dynamics AX R3 demonstration image earlier on this month I decided to create a new demonstration company, and as I was doing that I thought that it would be a good idea to also kill two birds with one stone, and use it as a reason to finish off the first book within my Barebones Configuration Guide series. This short (150 page) guide includes the following topics: Read More
The Orion Foundation Now Runs Dynamics AX
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a hundred times. People always want to get access to a demonstration version of Dynamics AX that they can test drive. There is something very special about being able to work through scenario yourself. I guess ERP is just like a car, in that you need to get behind the wheel rather than be chauffeured. The problem is that in the past, this involved setting up a new server, configuring the software, and also getting the test system licensed with Microsoft which is easier said than done, so we always shy away from it. Lifecycle Services and Azure Hosting has made this better because now you can rent space on Azure and fire up a VM within 10 or so minutes.
But today I was introduced to goERPcloud, and I have to admit this is a super cool offering. They offer a free trial service for test driving Dynamics AX R3 where you can sign up for a 30 day trial, without having to give them a single digit of your credit card number. I didn’t buy it either, but I tried it out and gosh darn it – it worked like a charm.
goERPcloud is the CreditKarma for Dynamics AX hosting. Read More
A couple of weeks ago I did a webinar for MS Dynamics World titled “Microsoft Dynamics AX workflows for financial automation: Improving process efficiency with ease” which you can view if you like by following this link:
While I was preparing for the webcast, I created a storyboard of everything that I was going to show, which I thought may be a great reference for everyone, so I tidied it up and the complete set of examples that I worked through during the webinar, plus the examples that I didn’t manage to get to in the time I had are now available as a Companion Guide for Dynamics AX. Within the 401 pages I cover: Read More
