A blog sharing articles, ideas and experiments about Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations (D365 F&O)
There has been quite a bit of change in the D365 and Power Platform learning library this year; the deprecation of some historically core/fundamental exams and a perceived relaxation in the pre-requisites required to attain the more prestigious ‘expert’ certifications, to name just a few. As such, I thought it would be worthwhile trying to …

Hopefully, this isn’t news to any D365 F&O users and the new configuration has either been implemented or is in the process of being implemented, but as its been a few months since the deprecation announcement, we thought it would be worth bringing to the surface once again to try and avoid anyone being caught …

In support of the Microsoft OneVersion upgrade strategy (One Version Service Update Changes) there has been, and continues to be, a continued drive to maintain alignment with the standard application and therefore minimise the risks when upgrade (Embracing the “Adopt not Adapt” approach in ERP implementation). Some of the most commonly customised areas of old, …
Naturally when implementing a new ERP solution the focus is very much centred on the technology and solution. However, no matter how technically capable a system is or how well it aligns with your ‘to-be’ ways of working, failing to recognised the importance of change management can result in significant project and post go-live issues …
An element of uncertainty has existed ever since Microsoft announced the deprecation of the D365 F&O mobile workspaces. Yes, I know this was a long time, but until recently some questions remained unanswered. We could make assumptions with a high degree of assurance, but if you’re like me, you want to get your hands on …

Taking full advantage of Microsoft’s OneVersion continuous updates is predicated on the expectation that businesses, and their solutions, have primarily aligned with the adopt not adapt approach. The F&O solution has evolved to support organisations and partners on this journey with features such as configurable business documents; addressing the almost constant need for output documents …
One of the most powerful features of D365 F&O is the ability to personalise and tailor the user experience. This can have huge benefits ranging from increased process efficiencies to accelerated user adoption. However, as with any tailoring capabilities, realising their full potential often requires an element of control. Allowing too much autonomy can compromise …

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?“.
You’ve already (we hope) made the right decision to choose a Microsoft ERP solution – congratulations! Both Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (D365 BC) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) bring similar benefits in terms of playing nicely with the wider Microsoft ecosystem, which leads the world in OS, Cloud, xRM, Office, …
So you’ve chosen to implement D365 F&O and now you want to choose a partner. One of the first questions you will likely ask prospective partners is “Have you done this before?”. It’s a fair question, you would never instruct a builder to build you a house extension if they have never done any building work before (DIY enthusiasts and worried partners aside), but…
