The master data information matrix exists on many different entities in Business Central.

For instance, here on the item card where you can open the information matrix and define your own columns like this, and you can update it.

It exists on the customer cards.

It exists.

For instance, on the serial number information list.

And let me just show you an overview of all the pages where you can find the information matrix.

This is an example of the serial number information list as you can see here, and you can import data and work with it.

The logic is the same everywhere.

You can even see it on sales and purchase line.

So from a sales order, if you enter a sales order, doesn’t matter which one you can open from the sales line here, you can open the information matrix, and this means you can import sales line either from using standard Fields information code or advanced specification search.

So for instance, like this, if I say I want the document type to be order, and if I just want to import all sales orders, I could just select add lines, meaning it’ll take all my sales all online into this matrix.

I can define all the columns I want to, and then I can mass update and get an overview.

So this is all my sales line that I can work with in this way.

You can work with information code in many different pages.

And let’s get an overview of which pages we are talking about here.

If we look at Business Central in all our different departments, production planning, purchase sales, et cetera, let’s try to divide it a little into that.

First of all, we have the item that I just showed you.

The item variance also has access to an information matrix.

So you can mass update variance, serial number and lot number information, list the vendors and customers health and information matrix attached to it, service items, shipping addresses and contacts, and then purchase order lines and sales order lines that I just showed you can be accessed with information matrix projects and projects task line, which we also use to call job and job task line.

And then finally, chart of accounts and fix assets.

So those are all the tables as all the pages as for right now where you can access information matrix and mass update and overview data.
