Posted on by Inkey Solutions 2,051

Hi all , 

I am new to Business Central hence have some queries regarding the same. kindly look into the queries mentioned below:

Query 1: Do we have anything named as Analysis code and Asset code? If yes then where these are used. 

Query 2: Do Business Central support long currency amount. (for eg. 1,000,000,000,000,000,00)

Query 3: Do we have any OOTB functionality where we can set the timeout. for eg. if a user is not using the BC for half an hour I want my system to timeout his session and ask the user to sign in the system again. 

Query 4: Do we have any Automatic backup system in Business Central. 

Query 5: DO we have audit functionality in Business Central. Can we enable audit point in Business Central. If yes then how can we manage it. 

Query 6: Do we have Cost Code in Business Central.

Query 7: What is the Multiple Budget concept in Business Central.

Query 8: Is there anyway to identify duplicate invoices in business central? 

Can anyone help me with the above mentioned queries? 

Thanks in Advance

    Hi Josh,

    Thanks a lot for your timely reply.

    For point no 2: we have 3 different companies based in 3 different companies i.e. Madagascar currency , Mauritius Rupees, Singapore Dollars. Could you please let us know  if the Business Central support long currency amount for these countries.

    For point no 3: is there any way we can set the 2 hours timeout to 15 mins?

    For point no 6: "Otherwise this might be accounts used on purchases for instance. Either way it doesn’t sound like a challenge" Could you please explain this point a little bit more.

    Thanks are Regards :)

    1. Dimensions sound like the equivalent here. You can assign them to master data and used them to control postings to the financials to aid reporting
    2. 1,000,000,000,000.00 is the max gbp value. Yen for instance is 10,000,000,000,000.00
    3. On premise you can set this. Cloud wise it is controlled by MSFT and is currently 2hours
    4. Cloud yes. On premise is down to you.
    5. Audit trial for finance is baked in so user id, date and time of transaction. For other areas there is a change log which can be activated for all user orientated areas.
    6. This fits into the dimensions if it is analysis based. Otherwise this might be accounts used on purchases for instance. Either way it doesn’t sound like a challenge.
    7. G/l budgets can be setup for various periods of time. It is then a roll up based on dates and dimensions. App source has some more advanced capabilities to aid what comes ootb 
    8. Purchase wise yes. A check is made on the vendor invoice number before accepting the posting

    if you need detailed answers or examples I would work with a MSFT partner. The exercise is generally FOC.
