  • Committed Cost doesn't update when creating a PO via an Item Requirement on a stocked item

    When a Purchase Order for a stocked item is created via the Item Requirement, when confirming the PO committed cost is not created.

    This occurs when the Cost Commitments has "Item Requirement" disabled.

    Customers do not want this option enabled as it will create a committed cost at the time of the item requirement created which is too early. They want the cost committed to the project at the time the PO is confirmed.


    In the same scenario with a non-stocked item, the committed cost is updated when the PO is confirmed.

    This has been raised via CR 3833884 for AX 2012 R3 and resolved with advising the customer to enable item requirement in the cost commitments (proj. parameters). Please see the CR for replication steps and further details.

     

    Thank you.

  • Customer record of type “Person” should create contact automatically

    When creating a customer that has a type of person, the expectation is that the customer contact automatically creates a corresponding contact record.

    This was raised to the Product Team via Dynamics 384579.

     

    Replication steps:

    1. Accounts Receivable> Create a new customer record with Type: Person
    Customer account: 222111
    Type: Person
    First name: Firstname
    Customer Group: 10
    Save

    2. Accounts> Contacts> View Contacts
    ACTUAL RESULTS:
    No contact is created

    EXPECTED RESLUTS:
    Given the customer is of person type, the expectation is that the customer contact automatically creates a corresponding contact record.

  • Cost recognition in proportion to project revenue

    Cost does not seem to be recognized proportionately over a period of time similar to revenue recognition incase of Fixed Price type project using Straight Line Cost Template.

    Cost gets recognized immediately instead of being getting staggered over period of time similar to Revenue recognition which the customer needs.

    Microsoft support has raised this via 3840655.

  • Adv. Bank Reconciliation transaction related party information displaying blank data

    Hi Team,

    In the operations bank transactions factbox we need to see the related party information for a transaction.

    The party information displays the Vendor, vendor ID, vendor name only when the status is "Paid" which can be done when processing the payment (Generate Payment) from the payment journal.

    We want the party information to display regardless if the payment is generated through the journal or not. This will greatly assist the finance team to be able to understand what transaction is for what vendor/customer. Without this information it leads to a lot of wasted time for the team to find this information.

  • The project expense forecast general ledger preview displays the incorrect account based on the project group/line property/category settings that are linked to the forecast.

    The project expense forecast general ledger preview displays the incorrect account based on the project group/line property/category settings that are linked to the forecast.

    We understand that the current design is for the forecast shows the detail of where the amount will be posted ultimately and as in this case, it is an internal project, so the amount will be posted to the P&L. Thus the cost account setup on the Category is used. In case of the expense transaction, the cost is posted based on the project group settings and the cost can moved to the P&L using the post cost functionality.

    If there is no post cost to P&L being done and the costs remain in Balance Sheet this is displaying the incorrect accounts.
