This document covers the Batch jobs needed to be setup for this process to be as automated as possible. I wanted to put a structured system on all the batch jobs that is typically used in a production system. But this also generates a lot of data, that you don’t normally need. It is therefore common to create both functional batch jobs that processes and executes functionality, and also execute cleanup jobs that removes irrelevant data.
Batch job Naming conventions To make it simpler to understand the batch jobs a simple structure of naming the batch jobs have been created. The first character is just “A”, to make sure that the sorting of the batch jobs is in the best possible way, and that the batch jobs can be sorted according to name. The next is a 3 digit number and at the last there is a then a description that explains the batch job.

Description and recurrence |
|
| A001 | A001 Notification clean-up System administration > Periodic tasks > Notification clean up Daily |
This is used to periodically delete records from tables EventInbox and EventInboxData. Recommendation would also be if you don’t use Alert functionality to disable Alert from Batch job. |
|
| A002 | A002 Batch job history clean-up System administration > Periodic tasks > Batch job history clean-up Daily |
The regular version of batch job history clean-up allows you to quickly clean all history entries older than a specified timeframe (in days). Any entry that was created prior to – will be deleted from the BatchJobHistory table, as well as from linked tables with related records (BatchHistory and BatchConstraintsHistory). This form has improved performance optimization because it doesn’t have to execute any filtering. |
|
| A003 | A003 Batch job history clean-up (custom). System administration > Periodic tasks > Batch job history clean-up (custom) Manually |
The custom batch job clean-up form should be used only when specific entries need to be deleted. This form allows you to clean up selected types of batch job history records, based on criteria such as status, job description, company, or user. Other criteria can be added using the Filter button. |
|
| A004 | A004 Daily Diagnostics rule validation System administration > Periodic tasks > Diagnostics rule validation Daily | Incorrect configuration and setup of a module can adversely affect the availability of features, system performance, and the smooth operation of business processes. The quality of business data (for example, the correctness, completeness, and cleanliness of the data) also affects system performance, and an organization’s decision-making capabilities, productivity, and so on. The Optimization advisor workspace is a tool that lets you identify issues in module configuration and business data. Optimization advisor suggests best practices for module configuration and identifies business data that is obsolete or incorrect. | |

The data is used in the Named user license count report. D365 creates this execution automatically, but you have to rename it to fit this structure. | |
| A008 | A008 Databaselog cleanup System administration > Inquiries > Database > Database Log Weekly | This job cleans up the database log, and makes sure that only (let’s say) 100 day’s of history remains. In the query criteria I set created date time less than “d-100”, to ensure that I keep 100 day’s of database log. This is general housekeeping and dusting in the system, and keeping the system nice and tidy. | |
| A009 | A009 Delete the inactivated addresses Organizational administration > Periodic >Delete inactivated addresses Weekly | Deletes addresses that have been set to inactive. | |
| A010 | A010 Scan for orphaned document references. Class : DocuRefScanOrphansTask Daily | Batch job that is setup automatically by the system, and scans for document references where the source record is deleted. | |

A601 Inventory journals clean-up Inventory management > Periodic tasks > Clean up > Inventory journals cleanup Weekly |
It is used to delete posted inventory journals. |
| A602 |
A602 Inventory settlements clean up Inventory management > Periodic tasks > Clean up > Inventory settlements cleanup Manually/Yearly
|
It is used to group closed inventory transactions or delete canceled inventory settlements. Cleaning up closed or deleted inventory settlements can help free system resources. Do not group or delete inventory settlements too close to the current date or fiscal year, because part of the transaction information for the settlements is lost. Closed inventory transactions cannot be changed after they have been grouped, because the transaction information for the settlements is lost. Canceled inventory settlements cannot be reconciled with finance transactions if canceled inventory settlements are deleted. |
| A603 |
A603 Inventory dimensions cleanup Inventory management > Periodic tasks > Clean up > Inventory dimensions cleanup Manually/Yearly |
This is used to maintain the InventDim table. To maintain the table, delete unused inventory dimension combination records that are not referenced by any transaction or master data. The records are deleted regardless of whether the transaction is open or closed. Inventory dimension combination record that is still referenced cannot be deleted because when an InventDim record is deleted, related transactions cannot be reopened. |
| A604 |
A604 Dimension inconsistency cleanup Inventory management > Periodic tasks > Clean up > Dimension inconsistency cleanup Manually/Yearly |
This is used to resolve dimension inconsistencies on inventory transactions that have been financially updated and closed. Inconsistencies might be introduced when the multisite functionality was activated during or before the upgrade process. Use this batch job only to clean up the transactions that were closed before the multisite functionality was activated. Do not use this batch job periodically. |
| A605 |
A605 On-hand entries cleanup Inventory management > Periodic tasks > Clean up > On-hand entries cleanup Monthly |
This is used to delete closed and unused entries for on-hand inventory that is assigned to one or more tracking dimensions. Closed transactions contain the value of zero for all quantities and cost values, and are marked as closed. Deleting these transactions can improve the performance of queries for on-hand inventory. Transactions will not be deleted for on-hand inventory that is not assigned to tracking dimensions. |
| A606 |
A606 Warehouse management on-hand entries cleanup Inventory management > Periodic tasks > Clean up > Warehouse management on-hand entries cleanup Weekly |
Deletes records in the InventSum and WHSInventReserve tables. These tables are used to store on-hand information for items enabled for warehouse management processing (WHS items). Cleaning up these records can lead to significant improvements of the on-hand calculations. |
| A607 |
A607 On-hand entries aggregation by financial dimensions Inventory management > Periodic tasks > Clean up > On-hand entries aggregation by financial dimensions Weekly |
Tool to aggregate InventSum rows with zero quantities. This is basically extending the previously mentioned cleanup tool by also cleaning up records which have field Closed set to True! The reason why this is needed is basically because in certain scenarios, you might have no more quantities in InventSum for a certain combination of inventory dimensions, but there is still a value. In some cases, these values will disappear, but current design does allow values to remain from time to time. If you for example use Batch numbers, each batch number (and the combined site, warehouse, etc.) creates a new record in InventSum. When the batch number is sold, you will see quantity fields are set to 0. In most cases, the Financial/Physical value field is also set to 0, but in Standard cost revaluation or other scenarios, the value field may show some amount still. This is valid, and is the way Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations handles the costs on Financial inventory level, e.g. site level. Inventory value is determined in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations by records in InventSum, and in some cases Inventory transactions (InventTrans) when reporting inventory values in the past. In the above scenario, this means that when you run inventory value reports, Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations looks (initially) at InventSum and aggregates all records to Site level, and reports the value for the item per site. The data from the individual records on Batch number level are never used. The tool therefore goes through all InventSum records, finds the ones where there is no more quantity (No open quantities field is True). There is no reason to keep these records, so Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations finds the record in InventSum for the same item which has the same Site, copies the values from the Batch number level to the Site level, and deletes the record. When you now run inventory value reports, Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations still finds the same correct values. This reduced number of InventSum records significantly in some cases, and can have a positive impact on performance of any function which queries this table. |
