To be ready for Cost Management (Inventory Closing)

    What we should understand is Cost Management Module is just a module for calculation. So before this module is used, data in the system must be ready and correct. And for data to be correct, we have to setup the system correctly and train users. 

   In this blog I would like to explain the key points that needs to be controlled before to run the the inventory closing. I assume that the closure is done monthly basis.


Before the postings


1. Train users how to process the transactions

2. Train users on which reports to use on daily, weekly and month end basis. It is very important to control the system while there is time for the month end. Not wait till the month end for controls.

3. Prepare a document/process flow of month end closure.

4. Setup item related setups correctly. (Which cost method to be used, price lists, inventory dimensions)



Before to run closure:


1. Control the production orders  at the month end, all the status must be in "Ended" status. Once ended, can not be reversed.

2. All PO and SO related to the relevant month should be closed. 

3. All inventory transactions should be posted.

4.If counting to be done. It would be desired solution.

5. Check the open quantities and variances.

6. Run the calculation first.

7. Run the closure

8. Check your reports and cross check trial balance and inventory reports

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

Vendor Invoice Posting Date (Pending Invoices)

  On the pending invoice posting form, there are different dates that may need to be filled. But there are two fields that may be mixed up. Invoice Date and Posting Date.  -Invoice Date is the date of the real invoice and most of the calculations(cash discount, exchange rates etc.) are using this date. It is optional not to fill this information unless on the parameters it is set to be filled mandatory. (Account payable > Setup > Account payable parameters -> Require document date on vendor invoice) - Posting Date is the date the transaction is posted to GL. This may differ from the invoice date in many circumstances. For example the invoice may arrive to posting user after the invoice date, period is closed etc. This field is used for calculations if invoice date is not filled. To fill the invoice date is mandatory and it is set to today as default when invoice is created but can be changed before posting. In some circumstances, users may need to change or bulk ...

Default Descriptions

  In D365 F&O there are ways to manage the descriptions. You may find the list below: Manual:  You may fill the description in the journals per line before you post the transactions. you may fill both for account and offset account. If you define a description before, you may select one from the list. Automatic:  Some transactions are auto created to the journals or on transactions default from the hard coded codes, like asset lease management and some functionalities in TMS management. Default Descriptions:  You can setup default descriptions by transaction type (sales order invoice, Po invoice, revaluation etc). On the transaction types you can use static (constant) text and/or variables. Specific Cases:  There are specific cases like revaluation. If you define the text during to run in revaluation process, system uses that information instead of to use the definition on the default description. Or if there is no setup on default descriptions, cancel opera...
