Reporting in Microsoft Dynamics F&O

     Today, I would like to share the reporting possibilities of D365 FO. There are various ways to report;


1. SSRS: Most of the SSRS reports are in the system ready to be used. But if there is a need to add a new report or a field/grouping etc to the current report, there is a need for a developer. This kind of reports are mostly used for internal needs and maybe sent to 3 rd parties in a proper shape.

2. Embedded Power BI: There are Power BI reports that are already created in the system and embedded in the modules. These reports are easy to use and is more focused on the visual. 

3. Power BI: Power BI reports can be created with the Power BI desktop application and easy to manage.

4. Management Reporter: Management Reporter tool is a user efficient tool that users can create reports  from COA, transactions, budget and dimensions. Users can create their own reports or use/change the ones that are already offered in the system like audit trail, balance sheet, cash flow etc.


5. Inquiries: These are forms that have data shown in grid view and can be exported to Excel. To find data through filtering options make it user friendly. So I use this functionality most common rather than the prepare a static report.

6. Excel: You can export data to Excel via Data Migration tools and can create the reports through. 

7: Electronic Reporting (ER): This is the most out of imagine tool which can be used for reporting with none or low code methodology. There is already set up reports but standard ones can be changed or new added.

8: Word Templates: This is not a reporting tool but for some documents can be managed as an out put to be sent to customers etc with the interaction of the user.

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...

D365 F&O Transportation Module (TMS)

      I would like to give some summary information on the TMS module. TMS module helps you manage your both inbound and outbound operations.   You can plan your shipments, routes, loads, appointments and drier check in/outs.  You can see the fastest or less expensive routes as an example with to assign rates and calculate with engines. Also you can manage and reconcile charges. Please find the Microsoft Documentation for the Module below: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/transportation/transportation-management-overview Also I like the video series below from Michael Cobbin which give detail for the TM module from Tech Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqGKgiDEQLk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqGKgiDEQLk&list=PLaKeZD0fHWIp8zD088_6svgMZ5v1CmJGz&index=8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-gGUxeQSAc&t=1408s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqGKgiDEQLk&t=1456s

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
