Creating Dynamics AX Data Entry Forms with InfoPath

Dynamics AX | InfoPathCREATING DATA ENTRY FORMSWITH INFOPATH InfoPath is a great tool available in the Office Suite that allows you to quickly create form templates for the users to enter data. It also has the option to get and update data through web services. Unfortunately the web services that are created by Dynamics AX are not recognized by InfoPath, making it hard to take advantage of this feature. In this example we will show how you can easily create a Web Service wrapper around the services provided by Dynamics AX so that you can create data entry forms through InfoPath. © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions.

Deploying Service To AXFrom that service you can easily add it to a Service Group and then deploy it to Dynamics so that you can get a WSDL definition. © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions. All rights reserved.

Create a Web Service WrapperA simple way around this is to create a Web Service wrapper that InfoPath is able to parse. To do this we just create a new Web Services project in VisualStudio. © 2012 Copyright Junction Solutions. All rights reserved.
