Many of us have used, or at least read about, Process Manufacturing and Distribution functionality in D365 F&O.

If you can’t beat ’em, get joining some tables!
You can’t always get all the information you want or need from one table or default view in F&O. For example, viewing the Open purchase order lines form gives valuable access to all lines, across all purchase orders, that have the status “Open order”.

We are (the Microsoft Dynamics) family!
There are some lovely infographics out there that showcase the multitude of apps within the D365 ecosystem, but the presentation can still leave ambiguity about how it all hangs together.
We thought we’d create an infographic that seeks to show the relationships in simple terms, with particular emphasis on D365 F&O, D365 CE, and D365 BC. We hope it’s useful to those new to our world, or who operate around the periphery of what we do.
And if you’re wondering why we don’t ever refer to F&SCM, we talk about that erroneous acronym in this post, “What’s in a name?“.
