What You Need For This Guide
All the examples shown in this blueprint were done with the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 virtual machine image that was downloaded from the Microsoft CustomerSource or PartnerSource site. If you don't have your own installation of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, you can also use the images found on the Microsoft Learning Download Center or deployed through Lifecycle Services. The following list of software from the virtual image was leveraged within this guide:
• Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3
Even though all the preceding software was used during the development and testing of the recipes in this book, they may also work on earlier versions of the software with minor tweaks and adjustments, and should also work on later versions without any changes.

Track All Changes To Orders
Using Order Events
Sales Orders seem to have a life of their own. They are created and every time you look at them, it’s as if someone has been tinkering and changing it. If you want to be able to take a closer look at your orders and see who is making changes to them, and what they have been up to then you may want to enable a feature within Dynamics AX called Order Events which will track whenever anyone updates the Sales Order, or even creates follow on transactions associated with the order.
Watching your orders will be like having hundreds of Tamagotchis to watch and nurture.

The Tips & Tricks series is a compilation of all the cool things that I have found that you can do within Dynamics AX, and are also the basis for my Tips & Tricks presentations that I have been giving for the AXUG, and online. Unfortunately book page size restrictions mean that I can only fit 50 tips & tricks per book, but I will create new volumes every time I reach the 50 Tip mark. If you want to view all of the compilations then here are the links.
