Customer collaboration portal or workspace

There are multiple ideas for the customer portal.  We just need one - it should be a better customer experience than the enterprise portal.

When considering this, pls also include the option of "Self-service quoting" incl. configuring a Quotation Line using the Constraint based Product Configurator. 

Third party ecommerce packages are expensive as well as implementing the Retail server if you have no other need for it.  Most of our competitors have a customer self service feature.  If we have it for vendors, then certainly we need it for customers.  

Is there an update to this?  IT says "under review".  We have customers that are requesting this functionality.  I like how the vendor collaboration works, just need a customer collaboration that does the same thing for the customer.  Thanks, John 

Can we develop it internally and use the "external users" as no required license users? Like the vendors one¿

This is an important function for us. But we remain hopeful. The functionality is there for Vendor Portal. Please give us an update on "features not implemented by not deprecated". We are currently looking at copying the Vendor portal Security model, for Customers. But would much prefer it came from Microsoft directly. Sincerely, Craig Gorman Australia https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/fin-and-ops/get-started/ax-2012-features-not-implemented-but-not-deprecated "Customer self-service (CSS) CSS lets you create approved customer records. It also allows users to view selected product catalogs, order items, and view the status of invoices. Additionally, CSS provides the ability to create and follow return orders."

Could I get an update on this? We are about to progress on extending the Vendor portal to Customers. (As a custom extension)

Hi.. Is there an update to this? We have a customer who is looking for this function in the Dynamics 365 F&O. Regards / Sam
