Attributes (types, groups) for Master Data (Customers, Vendors, Project contracts, Projects) and Main transaction document (Purchase Orders, Sales Orders) to reduce customisation at implementation
Thanks for extending the concept of Attributes from the Product information/Procurement module to HR module.
It will really be good to have this functionality available for Master Data as well. Although D365 has come a long way with functionality we still need to go through develo...
Make Project ownership fields (Project Manager, Sales Manager, Project controller) configurable or provide ability to rename and increase them
Very often in project implementation most businesses will have a number of project actors on the Project who have responsibility of projects i.e. Project Manager, Sales Manager, Project controller.
These options needs to be made configurable or expanded to about 5 or 6 and provide...
Provide ability to restrict 'Project Stages' by Security Roles or controlled by Workflow
Project stages can be very powerful to drive consistency of process when it comes to project setup, providing the ability to route the project setup to the different parts of the organisation who may have oversight either to the operation or financial aspects of the Project.
The d...
Provide ability to manually Accrue Cost against a Project through a reversing GL Journal related to a Project while on the COST CONTROL form
For many Project-based organisations, there is a requirement to manually accrue costs, as part of month-end process, where the costs are of a nature which is not directly from a system document (e.g. Insurances) or where timing of costs means it has not made it to the system.
Mostly wha...
Provide ability to change PROJECT STAGE settings at PROJECT GROUP level
During implementations, the clients requirement may drive you to define a number of project groups for different types of projects. When in this situation you may typically want the flexibility of being able to lower some of the settings at the Parameter level to the 'Project group' level.&nbs...
Provide "Free text" as an option under NEW > ITEM TASK option to allow the creation of Freetext invoice directly from the Project
By introducing the option to create a free text invoice by leveraging Fee categories against the project (from AX 2012) at a line level, it has effectively made the 'Freetext' a project transaction document (although we know it results in a fee transaction against the project). Howe...
Provide ability to hold the 'Project ID' and 'Category' on FreeText invoice HEADER to default to lines where populated
The Free text document already hold the ability to specify at a line level the 'Project ID' and the 'Category' (project fee category). However, where there are a number of lines needed to be created for the same project, this is very tedious as the user has to manually specify the same project...
Change workflow button when active to a lighter shade of the colour ALWAYS (not when clicked) or different consistent colour
In the previous versions of AX2012 and before the visible yellow bar for workflow was very clear to the user as soon as workflow was activated on any form.
With 365 it is still the case that the workflow menu presents itself, but because this is not the same as the large yellow ba...
In the 'User setup form' provide the ability to optionally select the 'User group' and 'Team' of the User that is being setup
In a number of implementations, once D365 has gone live the activity of setting up users is a maintenance activity that will either go to a Support Administrator/ Security Administrator or potentially the System Administrator.
In a world where licensing is by Users, a larg...
Ability to create on-account lines using 'Schedule' which automatically splits lines by period (used to be available on PSA for AX 2009)
In AX 2009, with the PSA module installed, it had a very good mechanism for creating on-account lines/prepayments against a project which allowed you to enter a total amount, specified a start date, and state the number of periods you wanted. The functionality will then automatically create th...
