I'd like to see an answer on this as well - we heavily rely on the Finished items in process report daily in AX2012 & our organization is in the process of migrating to D365. For one thing, it helps to identify orders that are only partially finished and where the report as finished box isn't checked. It also identifies orders that are completely finished but where someone forgot to check the report as finished box to flip the status.
Dear Microsoft, this issue is repeated on several other suggestions. Can we combine these into a single suggestion and tally up the votes. This is a multi-country issue which is a limitiation which really does not need to exist.
This makes it very difficult if you are sending electronic payments to the bank and they are expecting invoice numbers when you cannot enter a payment with a posting date earlier than the invoice posting date.
It also creates double-work as you then have to go into the posted entries to apply the payment and the invoice.
This is also an issue in the U.S. where recurring invoices are posted with a month end date, but must be paid prior to the month end date. For example, recurring invoice is posted in Nov for Dec 31 and the payment will be made on Dec 15th.
You can apply a payment and an invoice with this date issue AFTER both transactions are posted, but this is inconvenient and does not work well if you are sending transactions electronically where the bank is expecting invoice numbers.
