  • Detailed documentation on Batch Jobs

    There is a need for a complete list of all the batch jobs that one can use in D365 F&SCM. At the moment there are few articles available online but they are not issued by Microsoft.

    Both the partner consultants and Microsoft Support Team need a list of all the batch jobs available with a clear explanation of the purpose, a mention if they are critical or not critical, which ones are heavy duty and likely to consume more resources and the recommended frequency for running.


  • Production variance calculation while processing the production order

    The Standard cost is used for the manufactured items. A common scenario is that while processing the production order we will pick/consume more than the quantity/time we created the production order for. At this point, the system will not post any variances in the Production Order postings.

    The WIP inventory value is inflated in this scenario, which is problematic because the production process for manufactured products can take three to six months. As per IAS 2 accounting standard, the inventory must be valued at either cost or net realizable value. Currently, the system is not doing that considering since the WIP is valued at the real cost rather than the standard cost.

  • Lease Group field value modification

    It would be beneficial if the Adjust lease functionality could be used to modify the Lease groups field (or any other field) from the Lease ID.

    Currently, the option to do so is using DMF, but this requires the user to create the corresponding files, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

  • Substitution and Quantity variance on Production order should not be calculated when using Resource groups

    Unexpected Quantity and Substitution variance is generated on the Production orders when using Resource groups on the route.

    The Resource requirement for the route operation is set for a resource group. The standard cost is calculated considering the resource group as the resource (Item/Resource column)


    When the production order is scheduled, the actual resource (which is part of the resource group) that will be performing the operation is suggested. Therefore, the realized cost for the production order is based on the consumption of the routing operation performed by the actual resource.


    When ending the production order the system incorrectly calculates Quantity and Substitution variance due to the fact that the standard cost calculation includes resource group while the realized cost includes the actual resource.


    Given that the resource group and the resource have the same cost categories configured, the system shouldn't provide any variance in this scenario.
