📄️ Welcome
The DYCE Essentials app is included with several other DYCE apps. It is a collection of various small features that can be used in all related DYCE apps. More information about these apps can be found here.
📄️ Changelog
DYCE Essentials is updated as needed and is always compatible with current and upcoming versions of Business Central. Relevant changes are described individually in the Release Notes. To filter for a specific app, the corresponding tag can be used. It is also possible to subscribe to information on updates as an RSS feed.
📄️ Create Item(s)
The Create item(s) action is used to create items from Catalog Items via batch. The action is located in the Home menu on the page Catalog Items. When executed, items are created for all selected Catalog Items.
📄️ Report Extensions & Layouts
To enable the content of the DYCE Apps to be output via the print documents, DYCE Essentials includes enhancements to the dataset of the following standard reports, among others:
📄️ Report Configuration
The Report Configurations can be used to make general settings that apply to all DYCE report layouts. These primarily relate to the position of the logo (Logo Position) and the footer. The contents for the footer can be stored for different language codes so that reports in foreign languages also output the correct contents. Several configurations can be created, which can be provided with a validity (field Valid From).
📄️ Position Numbers
Position numbers are available in the Sales Quotes, Sales Orders, Sales Invoices and Sales Credit Memos. They improve the clarity of the document in the printout. The position numbers are assigned automatically. For example, a Bundle as a whole has a position number, the components have none. The position numbers can be reassigned automatically using the Compute Position Nos. action (in the line menu via Manage) or alternatively overwritten manually.
📄️ Print Preview
In Business Central, in documents that have not yet been posted, the Preview Posting action provides the option to preview the ledger entries that will be created when the document is posted. This functionality has been extended in DYCE for Sales invoices and Sales credit memos, so that a print preview of the posted document is also available. This functionality can be accessed via the Invoice Preview or Credit Memo Preview action (in the respective document via the Post menu).
📄️ Customer Dimension
In Sales & Receivables Setup page the field Autom. Insert Customer Dimension Value controls whether the Customer No. is automatically created as a new dimension value for each new customer. This is then automatically assigned to the respective customer. Dimensions are usually used for evaluation purposes and are passed on from the master record (here: customer) to the associated transaction data. For details on how dimensions work, please refer to this part of the Microsoft documentation. The default value for this setting is YES.
📄️ Batch Sending Documents
Document Sending Profiles can be used to determine how e.g. customers receive their invoices and credit memos. The user can define different Document Sending Profiles and assign the appropriate profile to each customer. For more details, please refer to this part of the Microsoft documentation.
📄️ Setup
DYCE Essentials does not necessarily require any special setup. However, setup for the topics Customer Dimension, Batch Sending Documents and Report Configurations are possible. These are explained in the respective sections.
