Products have changed in AX 2012. They are a global definition, that is company-agnostic. EcoResProduct, EcoResProductTranslation should get you down the right path for creating those global definitions of a product ( number, name, search name, procurement category [EcoResProductCategory] , etc. )

Then, after that is created, you can release that as a EcoResDistinctProductVariant to a legal entity, which will place the data in the InventTable.

If you are creating products with configurations such as Config, Color, Size, then you will need to investigate Product Masters and product variants, and the releasing thereof.

We utilized the AIF for this task, over 10,000+ products imported in a few hours.

Hi,

Public void SBS_Productcreate()
{
EcoResProductService erProdSvc;
EcoResEcoResProduct EcoResProd;
EcoResEcoResProduct_Product_distinct ProdMast;
EcoResEcoResProduct_Translation Translation;
EcoResEcoResProduct_Identifier Identifier;
EcoResEcoResProduct_ProductDimGroup ProdDimGroup;
EcoResEcoResProduct_Product_Distinct DistProd;
EcoResProduct ecoResProduct;
// Used for releasing Product
EcoResEcoResProduct_StorageDimGroup storageDimGroup;
// Used to assign Storage Dim Group
EcoResEcoResProduct_TrackingDimGroup trackingDimension;
// used to assign Tracking Dimension

erProdSvc = EcoResProductService::construct();
EcoResProd = new EcoResEcoResProduct();
ProdMast = new EcoResEcoResProduct_Product_distinct();

ttsBegin;
ProdMast.parmDisplayProductNumber(“Test84756”);
ProdMast.parmProductType(EcoResProductType::Item);
// Product is Item OR Service
ProdMast.parmSearchName(“Test84756”);
DistProd = new EcoResEcoResProduct_Product_Distinct();
Translation = ProdMast.createTranslation().addNew();
Translation.parmDescription (“Test Product1”);
Translation.parmLanguageId(“en-us”);
Translation.parmName (“Test Product1”);
Identifier = ProdMast.createIdentifier().addNew();
Identifier.parmProductNumber(“Test84756”);
//Code for adding Storage Dimension Group…
storageDimGroup = ProdMast.createStorageDimGroup().addNew();
storageDimGroup.parmProduct(“Test84756”);
storageDimGroup.parmStorageDimensionGroup(“BD2”);
// Code for adding Tracking Dimension Group…
trackingDimension = ProdMast.createTrackingDimGroup().addNew();
trackingDimension.parmProduct(“Test84756”);
trackingDimension.parmTrackingDimensionGroup(“BD2”);

EcoResProd.createProduct().add(ProdMast);
erProdSvc.create(EcoResProd);
info(“Test Product1 is created”);

// Code for releasing Product
ecoResProduct = EcoResProduct::findByProductNumber(“Test84756”);
EcoResProductReleaseManagerBase::releaseProduct(ecoResProduct.RecId,CompanyInfo::findDataArea(“bd2”).RecId);
ttsCommit;
