- How do I change my environment administrator?by Ajay OdedraD365 F&O environments should ideally always be deployed using an unnamed account (e.g. ). This ensures that if users leave the business for any reason, there are no security implications, or worse still, the business is not stuck unable to maintain or update any environments. However, for various reasons, it may not be possible to get the environment administrator right in the first instance, and it needs to be changed later on. If this has happened to you, you’re in the right place!
- Going with the (Work)flow Editorby George CurtisFor a D365 F&O end user, workflows are pretty natural. You fire off your purchase order and it lands in the approvers’ job list ready to be approved, modified or rejected. It’s a straightforward and integral part of any mature ERP solution. But what pain do us consultants and administrators go through to make that process work so smoothly?! I give you… the Workflow Editor.

- Dimensions and tags: how do I choose between them?by Mike PearsallSince the long-awaited and welcome release of financial tags in 10.0.32, and ongoing improvements, the new omnipresent question that now appears on every project is: should we use a financial dimension or a financial tag? For this post, I’ve made an infographic and a streamlined version of the comparison table. Please feel free to use them to help your decision-making process, but always refer to wider documentation and your Microsoft partner/contract experts for guidance.
- One at a time… batch posting journals across entities?by Mike PearsallImagine having hundreds of journal lines to import that need posting across multiple legal entities. Now imagine having to log into each legal entity one-by-one, to post the journal lines for each entity. Clearly that is unacceptable for anything over a couple of lines and/or legal entities! Until relatively recently, it was only possible to create a Global general journal, i.e. a General journal for another legal entity, within the current/active legal entity. A relatively new piece of functionality now allows you to post Global general journals in batch.

Successful projects require an investment of people and time from the business as well.
