7 steps to merge a stubborn menu object when applying a rollup

Sometimes AX does not allow you to merge a menu by using the compare utility. You just click the arrow but… nothing happens.

Here is a workaround:

1.       Open the menu in two layers – one window each

a.       Right click on the Menu folder in question:

b.      Do this for the second layer in question

2.       Expand the nodes

3.       Copy the missing element to the outmost layer (e.g. CUS)

a.       Drag and drop the element, while pressing CTRL (that copies the menu item)

b.      Adjust the position of the menu item:

                                                               i.      Select the dropped element and hold ALT

                                                             ii.      Use up and down cursor arrows to move the element up/down

                                                            iii.      Click save on the window for the outmost layer (e.g. left window in this case)

4.       Repeat for all the missing elements. For elements to be removed, just delete them from the outmost layer.

5.       Close the windows and the comparison window.

6.       Re-run the compare to validate that the objects were saved.
