Hi all,
I am looking for a functionnal consultant that have lived through a complete change of an accounting structure within AX?
For an example, i have a Customer who is on AX since 2012 and has 1 structure with 13 Financial dimensions and they want to narrow down the structure to 3-4 FD in the future. Has anyone ever done that in a LIVE environment? (i mean of course we will test this in TEST) but does it even Worth it?
-I know that we need to close down every single open transaction that can point to an old structure
-currency revaluation will/might cause problems because we revaluate invoices in next month which are still not paid
But I still see it as possible win if we keep existing FD. If, it is 3 new ones i believe it will get harder in terms of RISK.
And if i push this a little more, what if we want to change the Charte of accounts on top of that? In past, I have experienced this in an implementation phase, where we used 2 charts of accounts. 1 was not correct maybe with few references on it, so we loaded a second one. And we had some referecing issues. Even If we detached the old chart completly from every single parameter in the system, during transactions, the system still found some way to reference to the old chart even if we were using the new one. So that is the kind of exerience I am looking to here...
Do we now exceed the doability of this in the existing environment? Those this become more or less of a new implementation with a new entity?
I want to know the possible risks of doing all that in the Production.
