Consistency Check Tool in Dynamics AX 2012R3

Tables in Dynamics AX 2012 are divided into different categories: Main tables such as Customers, Ledger Accounts, Vendors, Items, etc, Transaction headers such as Sales headers, Purchase order headers, etc, and transaction details such as Sales lines, PO lines, etc. These tables are all related to each other through keys. For example when a sales order is created for customer A123, the customer, sales header and sales line are all linked to each other.

Occasionally one or more of these transaction records can be abandoned, meaning the parent data was deleted but the transaction still exists. We call these orphans because they exist in the database but are not connected to any other record. While these orphans by themselves cause no problem, they take up space in the database and given enough time, a lot of these orphaned records can cause performance issues.

Dynamics AX 2012 has a tool to spot and remove these orphans. It’s called the Consistency Check tool. It basically runs through the entire database and locates transaction records that do not have any parent record associated with them. The Consistency check tool is located under System Administration > Periodic > Database > Consistency Check
