CRM and F&O license for sales staff

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 36

Hello, I need your assistance. Several of our sales representatives are using the CRM to open the F&O configurator through Dual Write. Currently, all of them have a full SCM license with Finance attached. I am convinced that we could reduce the licensing level.

I am in the process of testing a setup with SCM only (not yet validated), but I am wondering if it would be possible to go even further and assign an Activity license instead.

Below is a summary of the required access — Associated privileges (Sales Order Processor – Activity):

1. Customer quotations management

          SalesQuotationMaintain → Create, modify, delete a quotation.

SalesQuotationConfirm → Confirm a quotation.

SalesQuotationSend → Send a quotation to the customer.

SalesQuotationView → Read quotations.

 

👉 This covers the full cycle: quotation → confirmation → conversion into an order.

2. Customer orders management

SalesOrderMaintain → Create and modify a sales order.

SalesOrderConfirm → Confirm the order.

SalesOrderView → Read orders.

SalesOrderCopy → Copy a quotation or an order to generate a new one.
 

👉 The sales rep can convert a quotation into an order, adjust lines, and check the status.

3. Products and variants

EcoResProductSearch → Search for a product.

EcoResProductVariantSelect → Select a standard variant.

SalesOrderLineConfiguration → Launch the product configurator (basic use, not maintenance).

 

👉 The user selects variants or configures a product prepared by engineering.

  4. Customers

          CustTableView → View customer data.

          CustTableMaintainLimited → Create/modify customers in a limited way (basic information only).

         

          👉 Sufficient to link a quotation or order to a customer.

5. Consultation & reporting

SalesAnalysisView → Review completed sales.

CustInvoiceJournalView → Access invoice journals (read-only)

InventoryOnHandView → Check stock availability (read-only).

👉 The sales rep has basic visibility without the ability to modify logistics or accounting.

 

Question: Is it possible to create an Activity license role, or is there another way to avoid giving sales representatives full licenses?

    Hi Pamela,
     
    When I read your requirements, you should be able to get rid of the Finance license requirement. Read-only is not triggering a SCM or Finance license.
    Most of the processes can be done with an Activity license, but it depends on the exact details you put in the security role. 
    The creation and updates to customers is having a requirement for either Finance or SCM. Unless you can find another team for the creation of customers, the role will require a SCM license. You can check if the role will get a requirement for Operations-Activity without the customer maintain permissions.
     
    Note that you can also have a SCM license with a Dynamics 365 Sales as attach for the same users.
