As a technical consultant, you’ll often need to update records directly using different methods, depending on your access level and the complexity of the task. Here’s a quick guide on how to update data in D365 F&O.  Dynamics 365 Online Training

1. Using Data Management Framework (DMF)
   The Data Management Framework (DMF) is a powerful tool for bulk data updates. You can use DMF to import, export, and update data through data entities. To update records:   Microsoft Dynamics 365 Online Training
   • Navigate to Workspace > Data Management.
   • Select Import and choose the entity corresponding to the data you want to update.
   • Prepare a data file (Excel, CSV) with updated values and upload it.
   • Map the fields and run the import. Ensure you select “Update” as the action to apply changes to existing records.  Microsoft Dynamics AX Training
2. Update via X++ Code
   For technical users, updating data via X++ code offers more flexibility, especially for complex updates. Use Visual Studio to write code and deploy it:
   • Write a job or class that identifies the records to be updated.
   • Use update() methods to apply changes. For instance:

x++

Copy code

select forupdate custTable where custTable.AccountNum == “12345”;

custTable.Name = “Updated Name”;

custTable.update();

2. Deploy the code and run the job in D365 F&O.
3. Updating Through User Interface
   For minor updates, data can be modified directly through the D365 F&O UI:
   • Navigate to the relevant form (e.g., Customers, Vendors).
   • Use the edit function to update the necessary fields.
   • Save changes to apply updates.

Always ensure data integrity and test updates in a development environment before applying them in production.   Microsoft Dynamics AX Technical Training
