In Dynamics AX 2012 R3, it became possible to edit Price / Discount Agreement Journal Lines in Excel.
This is great if you’ve a large number of lines that you want to make adjustments to; for example, you can use the fill handle to populate a field on every record very quickly. It’s also useful if you find the functionality around copying, revising and adjusting trade agreement lines quite clunky.
You may come across an error when publishing changes back into the price / discount journal:

To resolve the problem, you need to deploy the PriceDiscServices Service Group. From within the AOT, expand the ‘Service groups’ node. Find PriceDiscServices, and right-click on it. Choose ‘Deploy Service Group’.
An Infolog will appear when deployment is complete. And you should now be able to Publish the changes back into the to price / discount journal.
