D365 Reference

Dynamics 365 F&O Reference Database

F&O hands over raw columns, not meaning: every row keys on a 64-bit RecId, the company is just a DataAreaId value, and every quantity hangs off an opaque InventDimId that hashes one combination of site, warehouse, location, batch, and serial. A searchable reference for landing F&O data through Synapse Link or Fabric Link, with a quirks guide for what a first extract gets wrong.

How this is scoped

  • Scope: the supply-chain core — product, inventory, sales, procurement, production, warehouse management, and master planning — plus the shared party and financial-dimension foundations every table points back to. The catalog spans 63 tables and 26 data entities today and is still growing; it leads with the objects an analyst reaches for most, not a full metadata dump.
  • Feeds: the business-problem grid draws on this reference for Inventory & Working Capital, Demand Planning & Forecasting, Customer Service & Fulfillment, Procurement & Supply and Manufacturing & Production.
  • Two axes: F&O exposes data both as raw tables and as export-shaped data entities. This reference documents both — the tables you land, and the entities that expose them — because some core objects (InventTrans, InventSum, DirPartyTable) have no standard export entity and must be landed raw.
  • Verification: field names, keys, and structural facts are curated against the Microsoft CDM schema pages; enum integer values ship only when verified, and every description is original wording. Last verified October 2026.
  • Built for analytics: relationships focus on the joins you’ll actually write — header/line pairs, shared-EDT foreign keys, RecId surrogate references, and the InventDim dimension hop that trips up every first on-hand query.

Frequently Referenced Tables

The workhorses of F&O supply-chain analytics — the inventory ledger and on-hand, sales orders, the item master, and the customer master.

Frequently Used Data Entities

The export-shaped surfaces behind the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay data — what a Synapse Link or OData export gives you.

The F&O quirks guide

The encoding and modeling traps that make a first F&O extract wrong in ways that look right. Each links to a worked Databricks SQL pattern.

Getting F&O into your lakehouse

Export to Data Lake is retired. The extraction guide covers the current paths — Fabric Link, plus time-limited Synapse Link Delta for existing customers and Synapse Link CSV for incremental change needs — the metadata columns they add, soft deletes and incremental MERGE patterns, and when to land raw tables vs entity-shaped exports.
