Cost Accounting

     Cost Accounting is a module for reporting purposes. It looks like a separate module /ISV  that is embedded to D365 FO. But it is one of the standard modules.

    It is often mixed up with Cost Management. Cost management is used for inventory transactions inquiries, revaluation/closing operations and item costing operations.  

    In cost accounting module you are able to manage cost allocations within D365 or Ax 2012 or upload data from Excel. 

    System operates the transactions to copy data from the GL module if it is an operational data from D365 and allocated the transactions due to the rules setup in the module. 

    You can do versioning due to the allocation rule setups user do. 

    There is a detailed documentation for this module in Microsoft docs. Which has wonderful examples in the documentation.

    The only think that is a bit  confusing is the labels I believe. But also documented in the documentation. Only 2 labels that you need to know in heart is:

    Cost Object Dimension: Dimensions in D365

    Cost  Element Diimension: GL Accounts in D365


    But this module is not integrated as a push to other modules as I said before only pull data form GL module. Use for reporting purposes. You may export to Excel and do your Pivot but unfortunately, if you use the same version for each month Excel export , Excel import will fail. So what  I will advise is to generate Power BI reports for that purpose.

Manage ERP with Success - Blockers of Success

  To manage an ERP process with success is not easy at all. Even there has been processes that have been published by companies, it is mostly depend on the people. In this blog , I am going to share the reasons I see as blockers of during the projects. This is not a scientific measure but just my opinions. Sales Team:  ERP project starts from even before the sales documents are finalized. So company needs (not user/not management etc.) need to be understood wisely and to be checked if the tools can manage these needs and details need to be documented in the contract. Expectations:  Unfortunately, ERP is a software but not a hardware. So expectation management is very important. If it was a hardware, then you will be able to return and to document specific details.  Project Team:  By project team, mostly we understand the consultancy firm but project team does consist of also from customer project managers, users, power users etc. All project team need to be well...

Tax Calculation Service (RCS)

      Tax Calculation service helps system to calculate complex taxes between country and locations and EU and multiple tax registration ids. For this purpose you have to setup RCS, enable feature and setup all the scenarios in the tax calculation engine. Not only it helps calculate these but more complex scenarios like calculation of taxes based on margin.     You may find the documentation of Microsoft below and also a video that briefly explains how system works. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/finance/localizations/global-tax-calcuation-service-overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2fN9AHoYnQ
