Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Wish there is future option to include stock evaluation option at year end closing for purpose to evaluate stock quantities (issued, sold) along with the grand total for the current year. Not featuring stock evaluation option at year end closing per stock (issued quantities, sold) as per principals council percentages, user might potentially track stock evaluation outside the system.

Manufacturing companies always ask about a "costed BOM". We have the cost details screen in the Cost calculation screen that has all the info of the "costed BOM", material , labor overhead. But it is user unfriendly. It has a number of flaws that make it hard to use. 1.For setup labor cost, the rate per hour that is used in the calc. is not displayed for some strange reason. There is blank. That has to be fixed. 2.The Labor cost coming out of routing steps is not displaying below the MFG Item the routing is attached to. The routing lines get a level number that is the MFG Part number's level + 1. So you would expect that the item on level 4, displayed above labor cost lines on level 5, would be the item that has the routing steps that you are looking at. This is not the case. You have no idea where that item on level 4 is that has these routing steps. It could be anywhere. 3.The printed version of the Cost details does not show the labor rate used at all.

We have noticed that while assembling kits as a function in Dynamic 365, you are required to set up a posting account from Inventory Expenditure Loss or Inventory Expenditure Profit which are typically income statement account. The challenge is that accounting wise, the process of assembling and dis-assembling a kit, is like an inventory transfer from one inventory type to another, which is typically a balance item and should never impact the income statement. The Kit functionality in D365 F&O will be move efficient for customer's if the posting accounts can be associated with Inventory issue and inventory receipt instead of the current association which treats the posting of this inventory movement as an inventory adjustment ( write-off / write-on ).

"Reconcile the remainder of the invoice" form This is a request to improve "Reconcile the remainder of the invoice" form in order to be able to apply a Reconciliation reason code for all the lines on the same time. A new button that allows setting a given code to a selected number of lines. The workflow might be: -The user will select the lines that want to reconcile with the same reason code. - Then will click this new button to apply the same reason code to all the selected lines. - The system will show a pop-up that asks the user the reason code to apply to the selected lines.

We are facing issue in stock transfer module. The inventory cost at the time of shipment is different from what it is at the time of receipt. Resulting in negative inventory being reflected in ‘Inventory in Transit’ GL and takes up a lot of time in reconciliation every month. Manual GL entries have to be passed which is again a big pain. Though MS has provided one update for this, but it is also not working.

For manufacturing companies that rely on imported raw materials could there be an enhancement that calculates the planned item cost. The cost components are vendor price is usually in a fx currency which is converted using a monthly exchange rate, add a landed cost percentage. When these imported raw material costs are calculated they can be rolled up into finished goods planned costs the fx currency rate could site in existing functionality, vendor price could sit in trade agreements The biggest fluctuations for manufactures using imported raw materials is vendor price changes, commodity prices and the fluctuation is fx exchange rates.

There are different inventory status like ordered, registered and received. Registered inventory becomes the part of physical inventory even process of posting product receipt not fulfill. For posting of product receipt user first need to registered item with specific Serial because we have serialized inventory. After posting of product receipt then inventory status will changed to Received. But we are facing trouble in registered inventory because system becomes registered quantity to the part of inventory and available for sale. Once a purchase order is created and confirmed. Post receiving the items through item arrival journal, Item is available in inventory and can be sold even the product receipt is not posted. We just want to restrict inventory in any way to only sell the items for which the product receipt is posted. System not calculates COGS when sale post of any registered inventory as you better known COGS always calculates after sale posting. COGS calculates on zero amount when sale post of any item which status is registered and also its showing negative inventory impact. when COGS booked on zero amount then its increase the costing amount of item and decreases GP.
