Number Sequences

 There are various setup that you may achieve with the number sequences.

Lets get in to detail on what functionalities we may use.

Which parameters you can setup in a number sequences: 

On number sequences, you may define various parameters;

  • You can setup number sequences as continuous.

In case of unexpected issues occur, system cannot recycle numbers automatically for continuous numbers. Run the cleanup process to recover the numbers.

  • You can set up pre allocation for performance, so number sequence will be allocated for use.
  • You can setup constant figures for smart coding.
  • You can define legal entity information for smart coding and it makes easier for reporting purposes (For consolidation etc.)

Number Sequences on journals: You can create several journal names which have different number sequences. So when you post a journal and check from the voucher transactions, you know which type of transaction is being posted.

Number sequences with date: You can setup a number sequence to be used within a date interval.

Number sequence groups: You can use the number sequence groups to differentiate numbers per processes. For example, if you select a number sequence group on an SO or PO, the invoice number can be differenciated per those PO or SO. Foe example you know which orders are internal and external directly looking at the number.

Use same number sequence: You may use the same number for similar process. For example, for better tracking, you can use the same number for the sales order invoice and its voucher. This applies not in all type of number sequences but for some specific processes like invoices and their vouchers.

Vendor Group Number Sequence: You can assign number sequences to vendor groups. 

I think what would be good is to have the number sequence setup for the item groups as well.

You may find details for number sequences from the link below:

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...
