Global Address Book Transition from AX 4.0 to AX 2012

Address transition from AX 4.0 to AX 2012

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0:

Entity's data was stored in the entity table itself.
e.g: CustTable holds consumer name,contact information and address.


In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009:

Although Global Address Book was introduced it was not fully functional.The entity tables still holds the entity data but the data is synchronized to global address book tables.


In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012:

Now data is just stored in the global address book tables.The transition is complete and now there is no need of synchronization.
Also it is global data i.e one record per entity for one system.Unlike previous versions where it was stored one record per entity for every company.
So address data duplication has reduced to a large extent.
