Pre-requisite /   Technical

We recommend making a Stylesheet refresh after upgrading LAC365FO as this could help avoid potential issue(s).

Please also use the following Register selection classes located in Lasernet > Setup > Backup parameters > Setup Default Selections in case an error such as the following is thrown when using Export, Import or Copy across companies (legal entities).

The newly introduced upgrade framework in LAC365FO version 6.17 should manage but could ’fail’ in a scenario when using a TFS/Dev build as this would require executing Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe.

Major enhancements – LAC365FO version 6.17.2.

LAC365FO version 6.17.2 only contains fixes and enhancements for LAC365FO and does not contain any major enhancements.

The main focus in LAC365FO version 6.17.2:

• Stability/Quality update for LAC365FO

The Flush/clear of cache in LAC365FO and D365FO located within the Lasernet > Parameters > General and are now split into two parts

• Clear Lasernet cache 

Would only flush/clear cache for LAC365FO.

• Clear cache 

Flush/clear all caches in standard D365FO. Using Clear cache can impact and stop existing user sessions.

Issue with using Lasernet Original Preview and Lasernet Copy Preview

Resending a document didn’t always respect Lasernet Copy preview (similar to Copy preview in standard) and could show the original document from the Archive and not the copy. This is fixed.

Query Report run in batch - Object reference not set error. argsCache not initialised

Error with batch jobs with LAC6.17

The following error was thrown in LAC365FO version 6.17 and 6.17.1 when executing a brand new Query report within a batch task:

"Batch task failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Everything would work as expected when executing a SSRS-report or when executing a replacement report (Query) for SSRS.

This is fixed.

Context method added in wizard has wrong ReportElement selected, which leads into wrong XML element name in some cases

Using multiple context methods would in some situations re-use the same element name. The issue was caused when adding different context methods within the Query Wizard.

Only an issue when using LAC365FO version 6.17 and version 6.17.1 and is fixed in LAC365FO version 6.17.2.

Adding different context methods within the Query Wizard:

Context code used within the Query Wizard:

Output when using LAC365FO version 6.17.2

Proper value for the Element_location – Method1 and Method2 are properly added for the value:

Output when using LAC365FO version 6.17 and 6.17.1

Wrong value as Method1 was added for both context methods.

Open Query wizard text is incorrect when using language nl -  Dutch language

The help text when opening the Query wizard was incorrect when the client language was set to nl (Dutch).

LAC365FO version 6.17.2:

BankPaymAdviceVendV2 - Print buttons + report Dialog options

TMSCommercialInvoice - destination selected in 'Always show dialog' dialog is ignored

In standard D365FO, The following reports do not respect the selected destination/printer-setting within the printer-dialog:

·TMSCertificateOfOrigin

·TMSCommercialInvoice

·TMSLoadTender

·TMSRoute

·BankPaymAdviceVendV2

·BankPaymAdviceCustV2

LAC365FO version 6.17.2 contains an option to enable a fix for each of the reports which will ensure the report(s) respect the selected printer setting/destination within the dialog.

Enabling the fix for the report(s) is located in System administration > Setup > Hotfixes from Lasernet.

Running a report such as the Commercial Invoice (TMSCommercialInvoice) did not respect the selected destination unless activating/enabling the corresponding hotfix.

The TMSCommercialInvoice always uses print management.

Showing the dialog for the Report TMSCommercialInvoice also requires the Always show dialog to be selected within the Dialog options for the report

Clear cache (Lasernet > Parameters > General)

The cache is split into two parts.

Clear Lasernet cache was previously part of the Clear cache which could end other user sessions.

Clear Lasernet cache

Using Clear Lasernet cache will flush/clear the cache in relation to LAC365FO. 

Clear entire cache

Clearing entire cache can impact users' sessions and a prompt such as the following is shown as a warning:
