The use of product variants in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is a must for some business' where the same product can have multiple sizes, colors, configurations... because you need to create a Product Master and assign a Product dimension group with all the options available for the product without creating the same product multiple times.

Subscription billing (part 3)
Subscription billing is a relatively new feature in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and is a separate module, which also covers the old Revenue recognition module. This module is really powerful for all types of subscriptions scenarios as we explained in this overview and example, but as we were expecting and really looking for, since the version 10.0.32 the new Subscription billing module is linked to the Project management and accounting. Finally the circle is closed, fantastic!!! 😍😍

Financial tags - discovering
I love to check the every month the What's new in Dynamics 365 Finance to review the new features, modules and changes that Microsoft applies to the ERP, an one of the most expecting ones this year has been the Financial tags. I read several posts and articles about it, all super interesting and really promising, because it can be used in the financial reporting as a complement for the financial dimensions (my passion...) but you can edit the values after transactions are posted what it's not possible with the dimensions. If you want to learn more, you can check all the difference between the tags and dimensions in this link.

It's possible to update a voucher. Yes! But only The description
How many times you experience, hear and read about "once you post a journal in Dynamics 365 Finance, it's not possible to change it or deleted, you need to post a voucher to reverse the entry"?? As a user this can generates a lot frustration and more when the data you need to change is internal, for example the voucher description.

In the Fixed Asset module, we have similar reports that can be used for the year end close or the auditors´ requirements. Obtain these reports can save a lot of manual preparation because the reports include all the key information about the fixed asset transactions and their status.
