How to use logged in company data into code

As a Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365FO) Technical Consultant, one of the common requirements is to fetch details of the current legal entity (company).

Here’s a small but powerful X++ line that helps us:

CompanyInfo companyInfo = CompanyInfo::findRecId(CompanyInfo::current());


👉 CompanyInfo

A standard table in D365FO.

Stores company-specific details like Name, Address, Currency, Tax info, Contact details etc.


👉 CompanyInfo::current()

Returns the RecId of the company you are currently logged into.

Example: If you are in USMF, it gives the RecId of USMF.


👉 CompanyInfo::findRecId(...)

Finds and returns the full CompanyInfo record for the given RecId.


✅ Together, they give you all the details of the logged-in company.


Example:

CompanyInfo companyInfo = CompanyInfo::findRecId(CompanyInfo::current());


info(strFmt("You are logged into company: %1", companyInfo.Name));

info(strFmt("Default currency: %1", companyInfo.CurrencyCode));


🌟 Why is this useful?

No need to hardcode company information.

Your code automatically adapts to the logged-in company.

Super handy in multi-company environments (which is very common in D365FO).


🚀 Key Takeaways:

CompanyInfo::current() → gets current company’s RecId.

CompanyInfo::findRecId(...) → fetches the full company record.

A must-know snippet for any D365FO Technical Consultant.


👨‍💻 I use this often in reports, integrations, and business logic to ensure my code is company-aware.

JSON-Based HTTP POST Request from X++ to Retrieve an Access Token

In today's connected systems, integrations between Dynamics AX and external APIs are essential. One common scenario is retrieving an access token from a remote API for authentication. In this post, I'll show you how to make a POST request with JSON from X++ and handle the response. We'll walk through a complete example where we send credentials to an API and parse the response to retrieve an access token. Prerequisites To follow along, you should have: Basic familiarity with X++ Access to System.Net and System.IO namespaces via CLR Interop A configured HRMParameters table to store credentials X++ code: System.Net.HttpWebRequest                 request; System.Net.HttpWebResponse              response; System.IO.StreamWriter                       streamWriter; System.IO.StreamReader              ...

Calling an External API from D365FO Using X++ to Retrieve a Token

In many Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365FO) integrations, we need to authenticate with an external system before making API calls. The authentication is usually done by sending credentials (such as email, password, and API token) to the endpoint, which returns a JWT (JSON Web Token) or similar authentication token. In this post, I’ll share how I implemented an X++ method that: Sends login details to an external API in JSON format. Reads the API response. Deserializes the JSON into a usable object. Includes error handling for robust integration. Requirement Connect to an external REST API, send authentication details stored in the HRMParameters table, and retrieve an authentication token for use in subsequent API calls. Approach Use CLR Interop to call .NET classes from X++. Build a JSON request body using strFmt . Send the request via System.Net.HttpWebRequest . Read the API’s JSON response. Deserialize it into a custom ResponseTokenData clas...

Restricting Date Selection in Dynamics 365 FO using X++

Scenario Recently, I had a requirement in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations to restrict the user from entering a transaction date that: Is greater than the current date (future date restriction). Is earlier than 2 days before the current date (past date restriction). In short: Allowed date range = From 2 days ago to today . Any date outside this range should trigger an error message and reset to today’s date. Solution Approach For this requirement, I used the addDays method in X++. The  addDays method allows us to easily calculate a date by adding or subtracting days from a given date. Syntax: addDays(_t, _value) _t : A utcDateTime value representing the starting date and time. _value : Number of days to add (positive) or subtract (negative). Example: DateTimeUtil::addDays(DateTimeUtil::utcNow(), -2); This returns the date & time 2 days before the current date. Implementation in Form Data Field Event We can handle the validation when the Tr...
