Cancellation of Old Purchase Orders in D365 F&O

In Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365 F&O), managing the lifecycle of purchase orders (POs) is important for maintaining accurate procurement, inventory, and financial records. Over time, companies may accumulate old or obsolete purchase orders that are no longer valid — whether due to supplier changes, business needs evolving, or operational delays. Cancelling these POs helps keep the system clean, improves reporting accuracy, and prevents unnecessary financial commitments. Purchase orders can have the following status & stages: Stage Status Confirmed Invoiced Rejected Received Draft Open order Approved Cancelled In review   Finalized   From Finance & Accounts point of view, Open PO means commitments to order and contingent financial liabilities. Rationale behind cancelling of old Pos: Cancelling old or unordered POs ensures that your records are up to date and reflective of actual business needs, which is important for financial planning, reporting, and auditing. Companies can streamline their procurement processes by maintaining only those Purchase Orders which are active and required as per current business needs. This was an issue faced by one of our Client in Oil and Gas industries which was resolved by using the below method. Stage Status Finalized Invoiced   Received Closing of Purchase orders: Purchase Orders can be closed only if all the items contained in the Purchase order are invoiced and the delivery is completed. Cancelling of Purchase orders: Purchase orders having In principle, in the above cases, PO is no longer required, and requirements are not fulfilled though the particular PO. Hence, it is justified to cancel the PO and not close it. Stage Status Confirmed Open order Rejected   Draft   Approved   In review   Click on Cancel quantity. In case of approved & draft purchase orders. Deactivate the workflow and continue the same process. We can delete the purchase orders which are in draft, however, then it would not be traceable in the system and the number sequences would be disrupted. By following the above process, Companies can maintain only active Purchase Orders, thereby, showing the actual committed value of an organization. Effectively cancelling old purchase orders in D365 F&O is crucial for maintaining clean procurement records, improving reporting accuracy, and ensuring better control over open financial commitments. By following systematic cancellation processes and adhering to best practices, organizations can avoid confusion, prevent overstatement of liabilities, and streamline operational workflows. Regularly reviewing and closing obsolete purchase orders not only enhances system performance but also supports better decision-making for purchasing, budgeting, and inventory management. A disciplined approach to managing old POs ultimately leads to greater efficiency, improved compliance, and stronger financial governance within D365 F&O.

Understanding the “Find Next” Option in Trade Agreements in D365 Finance & Operations

Introduction When setting up trade agreements in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365FO), you may notice the “Find Next” option. What does this Find Next flag do? How does it affect discount calculations in the system? This blog will break it down with a simple example! What Does “Find Next” Do? Find Next = ON → The system accumulates multiple applicable trade agreement lines and applies all eligible discounts. Find Next = OFF → The system only applies the first best-fit discount and ignores other possible discounts. Key Impact: When enabled, multiple discounts can be combined. If disabled, only the most specific discount is applied. Step-by-Step Example: Trade Agreement with “Find Next” Let’s walk through a real-world scenario to see how this setting changes discount application. Step 1: Create a Trade Agreement Step 2: Add Discount Lines We add three discount lines for Item A: Line Condition Discount % 1 Basic discount for Item A 5% 2 Quantity-based discount (10 – 100 units) 10% 3 Quantity-based discount (101 – 500 units) 20% Scenario 1: “Find Next” is OFF (Disabled) Step 3: Create a Purchase Order Step 4: Increase the Order Quantity Scenario 2: “Find Next” is ON (Enabled) Step 5: Enable “Find Next” Step 6: Recreate the Purchase Order Step 7: How the Discount is Applied Key Takeaways Find Next OFF → The system applies only the first matching discount. Find Next ON → The system adds up multiple applicable discounts. Best Practice: Use Find Next when you want multiple discounts to be applied together. Understanding how Find Next works helps businesses configure trade agreements properly and avoid unexpected pricing issues. Need more D365 tips? Stay tuned for our next blog!

How to Display the ‘+New’ Quote Button Only for System Administrators Using JavaScript and Ribbon Workbench in Dynamics 365 CRM

Uploading and managing quotes efficiently is crucial for Dynamics 365 CRM users. However, sometimes you may want to restrict certain buttons, such as the ‘+New’ Quote button, to only users with specific roles, like the “System Administrator.” In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to achieve this by leveraging JavaScript and the Ribbon Workbench tool in Dynamics 365. This method allows administrators to control button visibility based on user roles, ensuring that only users with the correct permissions can access sensitive functionality. The Use-Case: Restricting Access to the ‘+New’ Quote Button for Non-Administrators. Imagine a scenario where your organization needs to ensure that only users with a “System Administrator” role can create new quotes in Dynamics 365. This is crucial for maintaining control over who can initiate important processes within your CRM system. Using JavaScript and Ribbon Workbench, you can easily customize the UI to hide the ‘+New’ Quote button for non-administrators. Here’s how this use case can be implemented: In this scenario, your team wants to ensure that only system administrators have access to the “+New” button for creating quotes in the system. For non-administrators, the button will be hidden from both the homepage subgrid and the main quote tab to prevent unauthorized users from creating quotes. By using the Ribbon Workbench tool, a custom JavaScript function is created to check if a user has the “System Administrator” role. If they do, the “+New” button remains visible, and they can create a new quote. For all other users, the button is hidden. Key Components of the Solution 1. Ribbon Workbench: The Ribbon Workbench tool allows you to customize the Dynamics 365 ribbon, enabling you to create custom buttons and define their visibility and actions. It is used to create the new custom “+New” Quote button, which replaces the default button while maintaining system integrity. 2. JavaScript Customization:  Custom JavaScript is used to manage role-based access for the “+New” Quote button. The script checks the user’s role within Dynamics 365 to ensure that only users with the “System Administrator” role can view and use the button. This helps enforce security and restricts unauthorized users from creating new quotes. 3. Enable Rule for Button Visibility:   An Enable Rule is set to control the visibility of the custom “+New” Quote button based on the user’s role. It ensures that only users with the “System Administrator” role can see and use the button, while hiding it for other users. 4. Custom Button Action (Command): The command linked to the custom “+New” button triggers a custom action (JavaScript function) to open the quote form. This ensures that the action associated with the button aligns with the business needs and provides a seamless user experience for administrators. Step-by-Step Process Sign in to Dynamics 365 using your URL, such as abc.dynamics.com, and enter your credentials or login to make.powerapps.com Create a solution and add the web resource. Once it’s done login to ribbon workbench from XRM toolbox and connect to your organization. After logging in, it is recommended to create a new solution for Ribbon Workbench in Dynamics 365. Ensure that no forms, views, charts, or other entities are included, as Ribbon Workbench may fail to upload the solution with excessive data. Only include the Quote entity with no additional dependencies. Ensure the existing +New Quote button is hidden, as modifying Microsoft-standard buttons is not recommended. Instead, create a new custom button and implement the functionality for creating a new quote Form using custom JavaScript. I have provided the code for this functionality as well. Ensure that the existing +New button for quote would be hidden from the homepage Subgrid and the quotes main tab. Next step would be to create a enable rule. Enable rule is used to control the visibility and availability of a button or command of the button. Name the id of your choice but make sure to add the suffix Enable Rule. Here, un-customised is set to False. By setting isCore (or Un customized) to false, you’re indicating that the button or element is a custom component, not part of the out-of-the-box (core) solution provided by Microsoft. This helps differentiate custom actions from the default ones in the system. Below is the code for the new quote form create and user role-based code. Make sure to select the Function name properly. After setting the enable rule, go to the Commands section in Ribbon Workbench and rename the command. A command defines the action triggered by a button click. Since this is a new button, you’ll need to add the custom form opening code. Below is the function for creating the form. Final Steps: Once the command is added, don’t forget to add the Enable rule that you have created above. Once the command is added, make sure to add all the rules we wrote into the custom button. The image also needs to be added so that the icon can be visible. My custom +New icon looks like this. Testing: Once everything is done, make sure Publish the changes. You can now try to log in from the user that has no System administrator role. Once logged in, you can see that button is not visible. Button will be only visible to user that have system Administrator role. User having no System Administrator role. You can see below that there’s no +New button displayed. To conclude, by following this guide, you can efficiently control the visibility of the ‘+New’ Quote button in Dynamics 365 CRM, making it accessible only to users with the “System Administrator” role. This ensures better control over who can create quotes in the system while maintaining the flexibility of user roles.

Understanding and Analyzing Customer Ledger Data with Business Charts in Dynamics 365

In today’s business world, understanding your financial data is crucial for making informed decisions. One of the key areas of focus for businesses is tracking customer payments and outstanding invoices. With Dynamics 365, you can leverage customer ledger entries to provide visual insights into customer behaviors, payment patterns, and outstanding amounts. These insights help businesses optimize collections, improve cash flow, and make data-driven decisions. In this blog, we’ll explore how to analyze Customer Ledger Entries through Business Charts in Dynamics 365, focusing on Outstanding Invoices, Payments Applied, and Aging of Outstanding Amounts. What Are Customer Ledger Entries? Customer Ledger Entries in Dynamics 365 track all transactions related to a customer, including invoices, payments, credit memos, and adjustments. Each entry contains details such as: By analyzing this data, businesses can gain valuable insights into a customer’s payment habits, outstanding debts, and the status of their invoices. Why Use Business Charts? Business Charts in Dynamics 365 provide a visual representation of your data, making it easier to spot trends and gain actionable insights. Instead of manually sorting through customer ledger entries, you can use charts to instantly assess: This allows teams to make timely decisions about follow-ups with customers and plan for collections. Creating Charts to Analyze Customer Ledger Data Let’s dive into some key charting logic you can apply to Customer Ledger Entries in Dynamics 365 to get more detailed insights into your data. 1. Outstanding Invoices (Remaining Amount per Invoice) The first and most essential data point to track is the Remaining Amount of each invoice. By grouping this data by invoice number, you can quickly identify which invoices are outstanding and need to be followed up. Logic: Buffer.AddMeasure(‘Remaining Amount’, 2, Buffer.”Data Type”::Decimal, ChartType.AsInteger()); Buffer.SetXAxis(‘Document No.’, Buffer.”Data Type”::String); // Group by invoice number The chart will help visualize which invoices are outstanding and need to be prioritized for payment. Code page 50215 “Business Charts” {     ApplicationArea = All;     Caption = ‘Business Charts’;     PageType = CardPart;     UsageCategory = Administration;     layout     {         area(Content)         {             usercontrol(chart; BusinessChart)             {                 ApplicationArea = All;                 trigger AddInReady()                 var                     Buffer: Record “Business Chart Buffer” temporary;                     CustLedgerEntry: Record “Cust. Ledger Entry”;                     Customer: Record Customer;                     ChartType: Enum “Business Chart Type”;                     AppliedAmount: Decimal;                     RemainingAmount: Decimal;                     s: Integer;                 begin                     // Initialize the chart buffer and variables                     Buffer.Initialize();                     ChartType := “Business Chart Type”::Pie; // Use a bar chart for better visual representation                     // Add measure for ‘Remaining Amount’                     Buffer.AddMeasure(‘Remaining Amount’, 2, Buffer.”Data Type”::Decimal, ChartType.AsInteger());                     // Set X-axis to ‘Invoice No.’ for grouping data by invoice                     Buffer.SetXAxis(‘Document No.’, Buffer.”Data Type”::String);                     // Loop through all customers                     if Customer.FindSet() then begin                         repeat                             // Loop through Customer Ledger Entries to accumulate remaining amounts                             if CustLedgerEntry.FindSet() then begin                                 repeat                                     CustLedgerEntry.CalcFields(“Remaining Amount”);                                     // Only accumulate amounts for the current customer based on Customer No.                                     if CustLedgerEntry.”Customer No.” = Customer.”No.” then begin                                         // If it is an Invoice, accumulate Remaining Amount                                         if CustLedgerEntry.”Document Type” = “Gen. Journal Document Type”::Invoice then begin                                             Buffer.AddColumn(CustLedgerEntry.”Document No.”);  // Label by Invoice No.                                             Buffer.SetValueByIndex(0, s, CustLedgerEntry.”Remaining Amount”);  // Set RemainingAmount for the invoice                                             s += 1;                                         end;                                     end;                                 until CustLedgerEntry.Next() = 0;                             end;                         until Customer.Next() = 0;                     end;                     // Update the chart with the accumulated data                     if s > 0 then                         Buffer.UpdateChart(CurrPage.Chart)                     else                         Message(‘No outstanding invoices to display in the chart.’);                 end;             }         }     } } 2. Payments Applied (Amount Applied to Invoices) Another important metric is the Amount Applied to customer invoices. Tracking payments allows you to understand customer payment behavior and outstanding balances. By focusing on Payments, you can track how much a customer has paid against their total balance. Logic: Buffer.AddMeasure(‘Amount Applied’, 2, Buffer.”Data Type”::Decimal, ChartType.AsInteger()); Buffer.SetXAxis(‘Customer No.’, Buffer.”Data Type”::String); // Group by customer This chart will help businesses track customer payments and identify any customers with overdue payments. 3. Aging of Outstanding Amounts (Bucketed by Days Overdue) Aging reports are an essential tool for understanding the timeliness of payments. By grouping outstanding amounts into aging buckets (e.g., 0-30 days, 31-60 days, etc.), businesses can better assess which invoices are overdue and prioritize collection efforts. Logic: // Calculate aging based on Due Date if (Today – CustLedgerEntry.”Due Date”) <= 30 then     AgingBucket := ‘0-30 Days’ elseif (Today – CustLedgerEntry.”Due Date”) <= 60 then     AgingBucket := ’31-60 Days’ Buffer.SetXAxis(‘Aging Bucket’, Buffer.”Data Type”::String); // Group by aging bucket This chart will provide a clear picture of which invoices are overdue and for how long, helping businesses prioritize collections. Benefits of Using Business Charts for Customer Ledger Analysis By leveraging Customer Ledger Entries and Business Charts in Dynamics 365, businesses can transform raw data into valuable insights. Visualizing outstanding invoices, payments applied, and aging amounts helps businesses prioritize collections, forecast cash flow, and ultimately improve their financial health. These charts make it easier for accounting and finance teams to manage customer payments and reduce the risk of overdue balances. The ability to track customer behavior and quickly identify payment issues gives businesses a competitive edge, helping them maintain a healthy cash flow and strong customer relationships.
