Changes in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 InventTrans data model


The purpose of this post is to give an overview about the changes been made in the Dynamics AX 2012 data model related to inventory transactions.

Before AX2012, the only table used for recording all the inventory transactions wasInventTrans.  In AX2009, a lot of data in InventTrans is either redundant or fields are used to represent a specific type of transaction like sales, purchase, transfer etc.
In AX2012, the base is still the same i.e. every inventory still gets recorded in theInventTrans but the only difference is that the table has been more normalized now. A new table has been added called InventTransOrigin which is actually now holding the relationship between the originating tables (transaction tables)  and InventTrans. The InventTransId, TransType and TransRefId have now been removed from the InventTrans and moved to the InventTransOrigin table with names InventTransId, ReferenceCategory and ReferenceId respectively.

Every transaction has now its own InventTransOrigin table. For example, in case of PurchLine the table named is InventTransOriginPurchLine which is actually referring to InventTransOrigin through the InventTransId field. Transaction tables like PurchLine, SalesLine, ProdLine etc still contains a InventTransId field but it not recommended to use/refer them. It is expected to be depreciated in future.

Oops concept in AX

Class : Class is the 1st OOPs concept .Class defines the characteristics of objects which includes its attributes , fields  properties and behavior . Let us say we have a class called car , then the color , model number , top speed can be its attributes and properties . Accelerating , breaking , turning will be its behavior Objects: Objects can be considered as a thing  that performs a set of related functions .Programming objects are used to model real worlds objects. An object is also an instant of a class . For our class Car , Ferrari  will be our object Instance : One can have an instance of a class; the instance is the actual object created at runtime.  The set of values of the attributes of a particular object is called its state. The object consists of state and the behaviour that’s defined in the object’s class. Method :Also called as  functions in some programming languages , methods defines the  behavior of particular objects . For our Car class , turning() , breakin

Exploring SysQuery class SysQuery is a helper class provided by Microsoft for working with queries dynamically. It has all its methods set as ‘static.’ It provides numerous functionalities that allow one to add data source in a query, add range, apply sort, etc. in a user-friendly system. This article will provide demonstrations for the most commonly used methods from SysQuery: findOrCreateDataSource() FindOrCreate is mainly used to check whether or not the query already contains the data source. If it does not, a data source will be created. FindOrCreate is most efficient when an event developer must write a code in which the event must be fired multiple times. This function allows developers to prevent adding additional elements to data sources. This is the most common situation in which findOrCreateDatasource() is used to avoid multiple addition of data sources in a query. Because this method is static, it uses Query as the first parameter. The next parameter w
