Hi,
Is it possible to utilize D365 Commerce without using Finance and Operations, I am thinking about headquarters, price, categories mm? (Currently using Netsuite as ERP) Or any other workaround suggestions? Thank you!
There are multiple implementations I know where the core ERP runs on Oracle/SAP etc and uses the D365 Commerce for retail (Store and Ecommerce). You can't completely skip Finance and Operations(back office) because of your integrations. product management and price management are done through F&O. Based on your requirements, if you don't plan to use Finance and Supply Chain (WMS, Transportation management etc) you can just go for Commerce licenses which should provide access to all modules that are required to run retail/commerce.

Thank you so much for your reply!
Is the orders always saved in D365FO regardless if we go for another ERP or not?
Yes, orders will be always saved in D365 FO.
Even though the Commerce Scale Unit/Retail components can talk to external systems, retail (CSU,POS, Ecommerce ) components cannot function alone. F&O(Back Office ) has some really tight features to integrate D365 with any system easily.
