Solution

1. Log in on the AOS of your environment
2. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
3. Execute following queries on the AxDB database:
   delete SYSOAUTHCONFIGURATION where SECURERESOURCE = 'https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.com'
   delete SYSOAUTHUSERTOKENS where SECURERESOURCE = 'https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.com'
   select * from sysoauthusertokens
   select * from SYSOAUTHCONFIGURATION
                 delete SYSHELPSETUP
                 delete SysLCSLibrary
                 delete SysLCSProject
                 delete SysHelpCPSSetup
4. Go to Dynamics 365 FO and go to Help (?) > Support
5. Click the ‘Click here to connect to Lifecycle Services’ link in the Connect to Lifecycle Services prompt. This will refresh the OAuth token for LCS.
6. Go to System Administration > Setup > System Parameters. In the Help tab, under Task Guide and Support contact, select the correct LCS project.

Solution: disable check on version control

…
boolean        rootSelected, atLeastOneNodeSelected;

// BGN to allow user to create security duties through GUI in case version control is on

    return [false, false, false, false, false, false];
}
// END

idx = treeControl.getFirstSelected();
...

Solution: activate configuration key Full feature set

Apparently activating Retail limits (to ease user experience) the Dynamics AX client. In case you want to use some Retail features, but you are not in a Retail implementation, checking the Full feature set configuration key brings back all the features of Dynamics AX in the Main menu.

Solution: step-by-step scheduling with Task Scheduler

Open Task Scheduler, create a new folder for your Dynamics AX tasks and choose Create new Task.

In the Triggers tab define the recurrence pattern for your task.

In the Actions tab define the task to run, being the full CIL compile.
In the Program/script field point to your AX client, normally it should be located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin\Ax32.exe".
As arguments you specify the following:
-aos2=<AOSServer>:<portnumber> -startupcmd=CompileIl -lazytableloading –lazyclassloading where you replace <AOSServer> and <portnumber> with your actual AOS and port.

You are done: CIL compile is scheduled to run recurrent, just make sure you have a remote desktop session open to the server where you have scheduled it, so it can kick off at the scheduled time.

Functionality

What it does is, when you create a project purchase order, it creates automatically for you a marked item requirement on the project purchase order (and not anymore the annoying virtual inventory transaction which makes upon receipt of the project purchase order, items are consumed immediately on the project).

Upon receipt of your project purchase order, the popup still comes where you can choose to consume the items immediately, but you don't need to do it. Making it possible to ship actually after receipt of your project purchase order, your goods on a latter moment in time and keep it in between in your warehouse (and probably break the marking and reservation so you can use the bought goods for another more urgent project).

Changes in AX 2012 R2

The Item requirements form moved from the Manage to the Plan tab in the ribbon.

You can create Sales orders of Order type Item requirements. As consequence, you can create as many Item requirements Sales orders as you want on the same project. Hence you could group your Item requirements based on Delivery date, and also if that group of item requirements changes of Delivery date, you can simply adapt it on the Sales order heading in stead of having to do it Order line by Order line.
Although you can create Sales orders of Order type Item requirements, you still can’t post the Packing Slip from the Project sales orders form: you still can only book it on the Item requirements form.
