Dynamics 365 Business Central

Currently you can create an Analysis view for GL Accounts, Cash Flow Accounts, Statistical Accounts and Sustainability Accounts depending on the Account Source value. However, if you create a Financial Report which contains GL Accounts and Statistical Accounts within the report row definition and you need to use an analysis view to give you more than just your 2 Global dimension to report on, then your row definition no longer works. Because you can't create a singular analysis view for the dimensions you need for both the GL Accounts and the Statistical Account information, and you can't assign more than one analysis view to the row definition.

So, a better design than having an Account Source Value field would be to have Ticks (the same as the Include Budgets) for, Include GL Accounts, Include Statistical Accounts, Include Cashflow Accounts, Include Sustainability Accounts. Whichever options are ticked a respective Account filter is displayed, and a filter can be applied or not if the user wants all accounts.

This would allow for Analysis Entries to be created for all the data sources needed to create a Financial Report that is including two or more of these options within the same financial report.

Please add the Business Unit Filter to the Page. So that Financial Reports that have been created in the Consolidation Entity can be run for the full consolidated group and for the individual subsidiaries from the without having to run the same Financial Report within each of the subsidiary entities, which is less efficient.

If you can use a Business Unit Filter within the Chart of Accounts. It makes logical sense that you'd want a Business Unit Filter on Financial Reports.

I am aware that you can use a Business Unit Filter within Column definitions, which is great when you want to create a column per subsidiary. However, in a scenario where you have a report such as Budget vs Actual Current Month and Budget vs Actual YTD all in the same report and wish to be able to run this for the group or for the individual entities, you cannot simply use a Business Unit Filter to do this, and the Business Unit filter in the column definition is not helpful.

Another scenario is if you have a large no. of subsidiary entities (Over 13), the Business Unit filter in the column definition is not helpful as you would unlikely want a report with that many columns. You also wouldn't want to have to run the report 13 times in 13 different entities, when you could use a filter to run it 13 times in the same entity.

I am also aware that you can implement a solution using a COMPANY dimension in each of the individual entities, which can be rolled up into the Consol company and then use an Analysis View including the COMPANY dimension to use the dimension filter as effectively the same as a Business Unit filter. However, that is only a workable solution when your financial report contains GL only information. If your report contains GL and Statistical Account information in the same report this doesn't work. Because the Analysis view can't create Analysis entries for both the GL and Statistical Account information in the same analysis view. So, the analysis view you need to be able to filter by company now doesn't give you the statistical account information you need. (This is a different problem and i will raise a new idea for this issue).

Hello,

I suggest to create a new system event which will called when user open the documentation link to make the possibility to override them.

OnOpenDocumentationLink(ObjectType: Option; ObjectId: Integer; CalledForExt: ModuleInfo; var DocumentationURL: Text)

Why we need it:

How we can assign only one documentation page to one page in Business Central. But for example, we have a core payroll extension and payroll localization extensions, and we want to have a possibility to redirect for some core pages to specific documentation page related to selected localization country.

Thanks for advance!

In "Purchase Invoices" there should be a Batch Request Approval option like there is for batch approve. When you have 150 purchase invoices to request approval for it is very time consuming to hit request approve and then go to the next document.

There is a new feature in BC, to notify the missing account in Posting Setup.

However, when I create a new PO, when I input Item No., the location will be inputted later, BC will create a new Inventory Posting Setup for Blank location, which is not useful.

Then it notifies that there is a missing account in that setup.

This can be misleading as I actually want to input a Location Code, so that notification is confusing for the end user.

Can you redesign this?

One idea:

If Location Mandatory in Inventory Setup, do not create a new Inventory Posting Setup using Blank location, thus do not notify about missing account in Blank Location.

External File Storage Setup is now per company (BC26).

Setup should be easily copied to another companies or even be settable as global in setup.

One of our customers has over 50 companies. It's time demanding to use the wizard for them all.

The existing APIs connecting Power BI to BC are entirely inadequate. I have yet to meet a customer who doesn’t need fields added to multiple APIs just to create simple reports. This adds unnecessary time and expense to report development as consultants have to involve developers.

Other reporting tools such as Cosmos and Jet Reports allow read only access to every field in every table in BC.

Rather than multiple limited APIs, we need a connector that allows report developers this kind of access to the data.

Currently, BC allows fields to be marked as "mandatory" (red asterisk next to field). But in order to change this, a page extension is required. It would be better to add this to the field personalization options like Move, Hide, Show always, etc. This was, users can make the change to the mandatory option without needing to run it through development.

It would be great to be able to create Projects/Jobs/Tasks in Business Central and link/send/synchronize these items into Microsoft 365 Planner for schedule management using the Grid/Buckets/Scheduling and other components of MS 365 Planner. This would be a great integration between the two Microsoft Products that would significantly enhance both products. Additionally, adding the extra features in level 3 and level 5 of the licensing for Project/Planner would make this an even stronger integration between these two applications. Tossing in a copilot agent to help you optimize production planning for the project/tasks/Jobs in business central to make this a nicely integrated and robust solution to help companies optimize their production planning with three Microsoft integrated tools.

Currently, Business Central does not offer a standard list page to view all transfer order lines, similar to the existing "Sales Lines" or "Purchase Lines" pages.

This limitation makes it difficult for users to analyze and filter transfer order data by item, especially when managing inventory transfers across locations. A dedicated list page showing all transfer order lines – including fields such as Item No., Quantity, Document No., Transfer-from Code, and Transfer-to Code – would provide significant value:

• Quickly filter and review all open transfer order lines for a specific item
• Identify where specific items are currently being transferred
• Support inventory planning, replenishment, and logistics operations
• Enable easier exception handling (e.g., overdue transfers, incorrect lines)

Additionally, it would be very helpful if this list page allowed users to delete individual transfer order lines, for example, to remove a specific item from all open transfer orders – such as when an item is discontinued, blocked, or otherwise unavailable.

This functionality would reduce the need for manual workarounds and improve operational efficiency – all without requiring custom development.
