Add new inventory dimensions through extension

VAR solution (existing field InventDimensionN)

1. create new table to hold dimension values, it can be linked to InventTable
public class VKItemCSIDNumbers extends common
{
    public static boolean checkExist(VKCSIDNumber _csid, ItemId _itemId)
    {
        if (_itemId && _csid && !VKItemCSIDNumbers::exist(_csid, _itemId))
        {
            return checkFailed(strFmt("Inventory CSID number %1 does not exists for item %2", _csid, _itemId));
        }
        return true;
    }

    public static boolean exist(VKCSIDNumber _csid, ItemId _itemId)
    {
        return _itemId && _csid
            && (select VKItemCSIDNumbers
                    where VKItemCSIDNumbers.ItemId == _itemId  && VKItemCSIDNumbers.CSIDNumber == _csid
               ).RecId != 0;
    }

}

2. new class deriving from either InventProductDimension or InventTrackingDimension
final class VKInventTrackingDimensionCSID extends InventTrackingDimension
{
    public boolean checkExistsValueForItem(InventTable _inventTable, anytype _value)
    {
        return VKItemCSIDNumbers::checkExist(_value, _inventTable.ItemId);
    }

    public boolean isItemCoverageDimension()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean isTransferReceiptMergeable()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean isTransferTransitReceiptMergeable()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns the singleton instance of the <c>InventTrackingDimensionCSID</c> class.
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns>An instance of the <c>InventTrackingDimensionOwner</c> class.</returns>
    public static VKInventTrackingDimensionCSID getInstance()
    {
        return InventDimension::singletonFromInventDimFieldId(fieldNum(InventDim, InventDimension3)) as VKInventTrackingDimensionCSID;
    }

}
3. Implement the binding mapping. This is accomplished by extending the method InventDimFieldBinding.className2FieldName().
/// <summary>
/// Extension class for InventDimFieldBinding table
/// </summary>
[ExtensionOf(tablestr(InventDimFieldBinding))]
final class VKInventDimFieldBindingTable_Extension
{
    protected static FieldName className2FieldName(ClassName _className)
    {
        var fieldName = next className2FieldName(_className);

        if (_className == classStr(VKInventTrackingDimensionCSID))
        {
            return fieldStr(InventDim, InventDimension3);
        }
        return fieldName;
    }

}
4. Enable the configuration key.
Enable maintanance mode (replace **axdbadmin_from_lcs** value):
K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe --metadatadir J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory --bindir J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin --sqlserver . --sqldatabase axdb --sqluser axdbadmin --sqlpwd **axdbadmin_from_lcs** --setupmode maintenancemode --isinmaintenancemode true
Or from SQL Management Studio:
update SQLSYSTEMVARIABLES SET VALUE = 1 where PARM = 'CONFIGURATIONMODE'
More about maintanance mode: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/sysadmin/maintenance-mode

Restart AOS
System administration / Setup / License configuration
Configuration keys / Trade / enable Inventory Dimension N

Disable maintanance mode (replace **axdbadmin_from_lcs** value):
K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe --metadatadir J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory --bindir J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin --sqlserver . --sqldatabase axdb --sqluser axdbadmin --sqlpwd **axdbadmin_from_lcs** --setupmode maintenancemode --isinmaintenancemode false
Or from SQL Management Studio: 
update SQLSYSTEMVARIABLES SET VALUE = 0 where PARM = 'CONFIGURATIONMODE'
Synchronize database

5. Extend the EDTs to specify the right string size and label
  • InventDimension3
  • InventDimension3Flag

6. Extend the ProductDimensions or TrackingDimensions field groups on InventDim, InventDimParm and a few other tables, depending on the type of dimension.

7. Extend relations and index as needed on InventDim.

Result:

Product information management / Setup / Dimension and varian groups:
  • Tracking dimension groups
  • Product dimension groups

Inventory management / Inquiries and reports / On-hand list

Accounts receivable / Orders / All sales orders
