How to Decide How Many Journal Names to Define

 When you are in the design phase, you need to decide how many journal names to define. I would advise to use as minimum as you can but it depends on the parameters below with my experience.


  1. Which Journal Types are going to be used? Like payment journals, invoice journals etc.
  2. How many journals do we need for migration. Are we going to create one of one for each purpose of migration.
  3. Do we need separate journals or user groups for reporting purposes?
  4. Do we need separate journals for different work flow operations?
  5. Are we going to use same journal type but create new ones for managing operations/purposes from the modules like accruals, TMS related journals etc.
  6. Do we need to differentiate voucher series for easy reporting?
  7. Do we need to auto setup offset account for users not to select? Like bank accounts to be automated directly and not to be selected by the user one by one on each transaction.


These questions will help you how many journal names to setup in the system for easy use.

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...

Allocation ways in D365 FO

 When we say allocations of expenses through accounts and dimension, there are various ways that can be used in D365 FO. In this blog you can find these ways and their differences from one to another. Cost Accounting Module:  If you do not need/require to post any transaction or you think that there will be too many transactions appear on voucher transactions, then you can use cost accounting module to report on your balances. This module works separate from the GL module. Data is transferred from GL module and you prepare your allocation rules in this module and do your reporting. also you can use this module for to report different versions. Allocation Rules : You can define allocation rules and within the period you want to use, system will allocate the balance to the relevant account and dimensions. The pros of this type is that, you can trigger and change the rules whenever you want to . The cons of this type is, you need to trigger each rule one by one, wait for the repo...
