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

When programming Dynamics AX it is very easy to add days to a date. You can take todays date and just add an integer of five to get the date five days from now. But because this is easy to do it doesn’t mean that this always is the right way to go about this date business.

If you look closer at how the dates are calculated on the sales order lines or the purchase order lines in Dynamics AX you see that a class called WorkCalendarSched is used. This is because deliveries are dependant on when the company using Dynamics AX actually can send the order. Not all companies work on weekends.

This is when WorkCalendarSched comes in handy, with this class and the class method “shedDate” you can make sure that the delivery is set to a day when the company actually is going to be able deliver.

This is a basic job that uses the class WorkCalendarSched and the method “shedDate”:

static void FO_stepCalendar(Args _args)
{
SchedDate schedDate;
date fromDate = systemDateGet(),
testDate;
WorkCalendarSched workCalendarSched;
int days2step = 4;
boolean calendarDays = false;
CustTable cust = CustTable::find("4000");
;

// Without using schedDate.
testDate = fromDate + days2step;

workCalendarSched = new WorkCalendarSched();

schedDate = workCalendarSched.schedDate(
SchedDirection::Forward,
fromDate,
days2step,
calendarDays,
cust.SalesCalendarId,
CompanyInfo::find().ShippingCalendarId);

print strFmt("From date: %1", fromDate);
print strFmt("Test date: %1", testDate);
print strFmt("Scheddate: %1", schedDate);
print strFmt("%1", workCalendarSched.isDateOpen(
CompanyInfo::find().ShippingCalendarId,
testDate));
print strFmt("%1", workCalendarSched.isDateOpen(
CompanyInfo::find().ShippingCalendarId,
schedDate));
pause;
}
