Hi All,
short introduction - my company (40+ localization in EU) decided to implement D365 in place of our old accounting system (almost 20 yrs old). I haven't been part of the implementation team from my company, so maybe those questions have been asked, but no one (neither from my colleagues nor from the D365 consultants) can answer to them.
1) From General Ledger I cannot see vendor/customer invoice number in "Accounting source explorer" and "Voucher transactions" tabs. How can one of the basis fields from the finance point of view be missing in this fancy system? I can see voucher number, party (customer) number or name, many strange for me fields, but I cannot insert column called "invoice number". There is a need to i.e. do a P&L reconciliation between our offices in different countries, the common item is the invoice number -> my rev vs their cost can be only matches using this column. I can drill down to the source of each posting and of course find it there, but sometimes we have 4-5k invoices issued per each month, so checking each single one of them.... not possible.
2) We were told (and our consultants stick to it) that there is no possibility of having some free text field on each document on customer/vendor ledger. What we have used it before, was to put some chasing status -> invoice approved by customer, will be paid next week; under query; Credit Note should be issued; etc. This has nothing to do with the posting itself, more to add some comments to a specific document on specific customer. Is it possible to have it as "out of box" solution? Do we need to have some special customization implemented for it?
3) some one more comment related to the above one. In the previous system we had something like "financial recognition period". In GL we had to decide which period all P&L postings were related to. Let say in March we received a vendor invoice, which was issued in December regarding some January costs. In our system it was booked in March (late delivery of this document) with Financial recognition period as January. In this way we could easily exclude this item from March analysis, as it should be covered in the past by some provisions on we need to analyze only current month spending. Is there any default dimension in D365 for it? Or how do you keep track of costs related to other period (except of text info in posting description)?
