Note (2025): This post was written in 2016 for the "New Dynamics AX" (AX7), which has since become Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management. The Excel integration and the approach described here remain fully supported in the current platform — the "Microsoft Dynamics Data Connector" is now known as the Microsoft Dynamics Office Add-in.

In this post, we show how easy it is to edit cost and price versions for products in the New Dynamics AX.

Step-by-Step Guide

Go to AX and open Released Products.

Released Products in Dynamics AX

Pick an item you need to update (or any item if you need to update a number of items) and go to Manage Costs > Setup > Item price.

Item price menu

Click the Export to Excel icon and select the Pending Item Prices option.

Export to Excel option

An Excel document opens, showing all pending prices for all items across a single legal entity.

You can add additional fields using the Microsoft Dynamics Data Connector add-on. As an example, I have modified one price and also added a new one for another item.

When ready, click Publish on the Dynamics Data Connector.

After that, go back to AX and validate the changes.
