    How do I have to interpret your question?

    Within the help of AX (and on technet) some descriptions of the table and the fields are available.

    If you want to find out from a form which table/field is used, you can right click on a control and click the 'Personalize' menu-item. Information of the datasource (table) and field used is available in the field 'System name'.

    The tab query contains the structure of tables used on this form.

     

     

    Also a tool was/is available on internet where with a key combination ('Shift+Enter') the table and field names are being displayed.

    You may try also to press 'F1' while focusing on particular field; menu will then appear, chose 'quick info' and you will see table/field name. Regaring both methods - be aware that not always you will have real table/field name, as in some cases temporary tables are being used (name shown may be then name of table which does not exisi on SQL server)

    I would like to be able to find the table that stores the warehouse field found in the Where Used table.  I have tried BOM, BOM Table, BOMVersion and am not able to find it.  I have tried using the INVDIM column in these tables and comparing it to Inv DIM but doing that method shows that all of the formulas listed have a warehouse specified in the Where Used screen which I know is not the case.  Where can I find this info?

    Thanks!

    Run this job you will get tables and properties.

    You can find System Fields,User Define Fields & Sql Fields.

    //A_PO Table Name
    static void SystemClassesFields(Args _args)
    {
        SysDictTable dictTable;
        DictField dictField;
        Common common;
        Counter counter;
        ;
        dictTable = new SysDictTable(tableNum(A_PO));
            for (counter=1; counter<=dictTable.fieldCnt(); counter++) 
            {
                dictField = new DictField(dictTable.id(), dictTable.fieldCnt2Id(counter));
                if (dictField.isSystem())
                {
                    info(strfmt("System field: %1", dictField.label()));
                    info(strfmt("System field: %1", dictField.name()));
                }
                else
                    info(strfmt("User field: %1", dictField.label()));
            }
        if(dictField.isSql())
        {
            info(strfmt("sql field: %1", dictField.label()));
        }
    }

    Thanks.

    I think that André meant Tabax.
