just to add to my original posting... the idea of loading historical invoices into the tables is just 2 tables custinvoicejour and custinvoicetrans. If you want info in any other tables then potentially direct load is maybe not what you want these 2 tables are enough to give you historical sales reports (which I assume is the main reason for having such data) but as mentioned wihtout cost unless you do a modification like I mentioned. To add I think the mod I suggested about the cost will work fine also in the std AX olap cubes (as they use the costvalue method) but of course for any OLAP cubes done outside of AX you would need to follow the same logic of checkign if inventtrans records or a value in the new historicalcost field

Trans tables have inventTransId which links to SalesLine And also, the story does not stop at just these tables. If the vendor has non po invoices, then he has to post in LedgerJournalTable/LedgerJournalTrans. Remebember, if his customer wants to view the report by customer num, discounts , tax ,surcharges, tax on surcharges, tax exempt on surchares oh yeah, its just not those two tables. He has also look into ledgerJournalTable/Trans tables for Non PO/SO invoices and make sure that he has properly taken care of GL side postings. I am not sure if his customer would consider to maintain his whole SO/PO invoice history in a seperate company rather than the existing transactional company. Some people would prefer to maintain the history in a seperate company or ask them to use TARGIT or something similar. Just a thought. Wanted to say that its just not two tables when the orders have discounts,Sales taxes ( each state has its own tax ) and surcharges. My 2 US cents. Kind regards, Subbu Sr. Application Developer.
