A relation between the worker and the system user records (System administration > Common > Users > User relations) is necessary to approve BOMs, enter timesheets or expense reports in Dynamics AX. The user records can be easily imported from the Active Directory, the Employee records can be migrated from a legacy ERP or a 3rd party system through the DIXF interface.
The DIXF in Dynamics AX CU9/CU10 can also fill the missing link between the two, but a simple idempotent X++ job can also be a viable solution to mass create missing DirPersonUser relations. The below script tries to match the users by the e-mail address, then by the First-Last name, then by the Last-First name etc.
