Dynamics 365 Finance

Dynamics 365 Finance should have a feature to properly manage deposits & guarantees in AP/ AR.

The accounting entries of a security deposit or guarantee is done using two separate balance sheet accounts for the amounts paid and the amounts received, a third account may be used in the rare case of amounts paid by personnel. Sub-accounts can be used to specify the nature of these deposits. The system does not have a standard defined function to manage these transactions with third parties such as customers, suppliers, and less frequently, employees.

This feature is important in France but may be highly internalized in other countries.

When generating a Payment Terms Report for Poland, in the report parameters the user can select customer or vendor group, as well as customer or vendor posting profile, but there is no possibility to filter data by query. The idea is to improve the quality of data presented in the report by adding the possibility of filtering by query (especially like vendor or customer accounts, or country/region). This would help Finance to get correct data in the report, as in most cases international companies oparate based on common group rules, and are not allowed to adjust vendor/customer groups to comply with one localization report requirements only.

In D365 version 10.0.32 a very good new feature for Workflow regarding Bank accounts approval is added as Beta. In Sweden we use Bank account type also and it is crucial that this field also is included in the workflow as “Bankgiro” is one type of bank account and “Postgiro” is another. If this is not added and the bank number is correct but the bank type is wrong vendor payments could reach wrong receiver.

When a pending invoice has been submitted to workflow, and is awaiting approval, currently a user may go to the purchase order attached to the invoice and change it to a DRAFT state. This causes the pending invoice workflow to fail.

Could a function be enabled to prevent this

The approver should be able to access what is only required from him to approve or reject the workflow.

It should be at least controlled by a parameter to suit all business scenarios.

Because the vendor invoice journal has a pattern ("Custom") that causes the form having a small view selector, the saved view can't save the query so the users are unable to create different views with different queries. This is not happening in the customer invoice journal wich has the "DetailsMaster" pattern that allows save the query within the saved view.

Wish there is a functionality to close customer sales order that will never be invoiced.

In italy we need to create shipments for items that, however, will never be invoiced to customer: sales order will remain forever in Delivered status

With a closing order functionality, we could automatically create an invoice with no VAT salex tax code, posted against a "not included" tax book section (not included in VAT settlement process).

This "non fiscal invoice" should:

- not be sent to SdI (not create in einvoice register).

- be posted in standard revenueaccount and reversed against a transitory revenue account.

- have a paym terms COD in which set transitory revenue.

- have total amount equal to zero.

Currently the system does not generates settlement vouchers if we use same dimensions during the settlement process, but we should have the options to generate the settlement vouchers generated even with same dimensions.

Issued Reminder: There is no option to select 'Show Not Due Amounts'.
