In Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365FO), the current system architecture enforces uniformity in product search names across all legal entities. This limitation can be challenging for organizations operating in multiple jurisdictions or business units, where the same product might be known by different search names due to localization, branding, or regulatory requirements. For instance, if a product's search name is updated in one legal entity, it automatically updates in all other legal entities, which can lead to confusion and operational inefficiencies.
Introduce a feature that allows for different product search names to be maintained independently across legal entities within D365FO. This functionality would enable organizations to customize the search name of products according to the specific needs of each legal entity without affecting others. This capability should include the option to selectively apply changes and manage product search names based on the organizational structure.
Consider an organization with three legal entities: A, B, and C. In entities A and B, a product might be marketed under the search name "Product 111," while in entity C, it is known as "Product v2" due to regional differences in branding. Under the current system, updating the search name in entity C would inadvertently update it in entities A and B, causing inconsistency and potential confusion. The proposed feature would allow each entity to maintain distinct product search names as per their needs.
