In an environment where there are several legal entities, across various countries, all of which need to execute reporting configurations that rely on the same data model and definition (Standard Audit File as an example), the need to constantly select a default model mapping configuration is creating an issue for users. As it stands, the users need to be given access to the Electronic reporting workspace, update the Default for model mapping flag, ensuring that they are not affecting a process another user is performing, and execute their report. The Default for model mapping constantly needs to be changed.
It should be possible in D365 to select a model mapping to use at runtime, or alternatively reference the model mapping to be used in the header of a format configuration.
There needs to be a solution for this problem.

Thank you for registering the idea.
There are some models where multiple model mappings are available to support different formats under the same model.
In certain cases, these mappings may conflict when a format is executed. In most scenarios, this can be resolved by introducing an integration point that helps the system determine which model mapping should be used for a specific format.
In Dynamics 365 Finance, the majority of such scenarios are handled out of the box.
If you encounter a situation where multiple model mappings exist under the same model and the correct mapping is not executed via an integration point, please report a bug.
