Cleaning up orphan data in a hosted production table (ExtCodeValueTable)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12
I have a scenario where a hosted D365FO production environment was built and during migration the ExtCodeValueTable was migrated from GOLD to STG to PROD with related Vendor External Codes.  During the cutover process, AP decided not to bring over select vendors.  The vendor record was deleted from STG prior to cutover to PROD, but the external codes for vendors was not cleaned up, which is resulting in orphan records in the ExtCodeValueTable.  Normally woudn't have been a problem, but now those vendors are required and have been imported directly into Production.  the ExtCodeValueTable maintains the reference to the now non-existent Vendor code so we are not able to add the external code value to the new vendor record.  Lower environments we can delete the values, in Prod clients do not have access.  Any way to truncate this table or delete individual records in PROD in a MSFT hosted environment?
 
*Note truncate table through DMF using entity external codes for vendors does not work on this table.
 
Thanks
