Microsoft Dynamics AX Document Management System

Document management system in Microsoft Dynamics AX is used to attach documents, notes or images against specific records. All the documents are stored in DocuValue table with their reference in DocuRef table. In order to enable document management system we have to perform some simple steps.

Open Navigation Pane

Go to Basic -> Setup -> Document Management

Now you can see four options related to document management

Document types

Active document tables

Parameters

Document file extension

Now go open active document tables

Create a new entry (Ctrl + N)

Add your table in the grid and check mark active tab

Open AOT -> Data Dictionary -> Tables -> DocuRef table

open setSmmTable and place an entry of your table over here

void setSmmTable()

{

switch (this.RefTableId)

{

case tablenum(CustTable),

tablenum(VendTable),

tablenum(SalesTable),

tablenum(ProjTable),

tablenum(ContactPerson),

tablenum(smmActivities),

tablenum(SalesQuotationTable),

tablenum(smmMailings),

tablenum(smmBusRelTable),

tablenum(smmTMCallListTable),

tablenum(smmCampaignTable),

tablenum(smmEncyclopediaItems),

tablenum(smmCampaignSelection),

tablenum(yourtablename):

this.SmmTable = true;

break;
