In previous versions of Dynamics AX (AX 2012 and before) it was possible to enter a calculation in decimal fields. e.g. 1000*1.21. The result was an amount : 1210. In the current version of Dynamics 365 this is not possible anymore. This is a much requested feature by namely accounting users. They use it a lot for calculating amounts to add or subtract Sales Tax.

The field calculation function is extremely powerful in our business estimating department when adding up quantities. We have more room for error by using a calculator then manually adding.

I used this function everyday for simple calculations. Now I'm using a separate calculator app in Windows but it would save a lot of manual actions if this feature can be used again in Dynamics.

Yes! In addition to sales tax case, it was great in pricing scenarios as mentioned before; i.e. entering prices with markup/margin. Cost price / (1 - desired margin in decimal) = sales price. Say you want 25% margin and your cost price is 46, you would enter 46/0,75

Definitely an important feature to add! Our finance team is finding difficult now that they have transitioned from 2012 -> D365.

This is a great feature for manufacturing clients as well.  Its super helpful when working with BOM's / Formulas and inventory journals.
