Our top four
We’d like to point out the four features we are most excited about:
1. Print directly to a specified printer.
Documents, reports, and orders can now be sent directly to a specified printer from . You’ll designate one or more printers in the app for simple printing. You can also perform more complex printing tasks such as printing labels with one printer while printing packing slips to another.
2. Over-receipts on purchase orders.
If a vendor sends more items than were ordered, rather than asking that the surplus be returned, the vendor might agree to the oversupply. Previously, there was no place in your inventory to log this oversupply.
Now Dynamics365 BC purchase orders have been updated with fields, codes, and allowable tolerance percentages for over-receipt of stock.
3. The added ‘show more’ feature on lists.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC makes it easier to navigate and find what you need, with the new ‘show more’ feature on lists. Related items or fields can be opened directly from the list you’re working in. For instance, you can jump from the sales invoice list to the customer data card.
4. Improved bank reconciliations
Bank reconciliations have been made more efficient by improvements to the screens and the layout. The new look makes it easier to view additional information about transactions and compare entries on one screen.
