Slated in the 10.0.32 version of Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Microsoft has introduced a new feature that allows for workflow approval of changes to vendor bank account information. This feature is designed to address concerns related to segregation of duty, which is an important concept in financial and accounting systems. Segregation of duty is the practice of separating responsibilities for different stages of a financial transaction to prevent fraud or errors. This means that different individuals should be responsible for initiating, authorizing, and recording financial transactions. By implementing workflows for vendor bank account changes, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations is helping to ensure that these transactions are properly authorized. In the past, it was common for employees to be able to make changes to vendor bank account informa...

A purpose-built time-series database is a type of database specifically designed to handle time-series data, which is a sequence of data points collected at regular intervals. These types of databases have several advantages over more traditional relational databases when it comes to handling time-series data. One of the main benefits of using a purpose-built time-series database is its ability to handle large amounts of data. Time-series data is often collected at high frequency, leading to a large volume of data that needs to be stored and analyzed. Traditional relational databases, such as SQL Server or Oracle, can struggle to handle such large volumes of data and may require significant resources to do so. Purpose-built time-series databases, on the other hand, are optimized for handling large amounts of time-series data, making them much more efficient and cost-effective. Implementing a p...

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a crucial aspect of supply chain management, as it helps organizations to efficiently manage the flow of materials and ensure that the right amount of raw materials, components, and finished products are available when required. However, MRP comes with its own set of challenges, which include significant configuration needs and administrative overhead. These challenges can be addressed by implementing a smart min/max planning setup and accompanied by a full featured work order management system. One of the major challenges of MRP is its significant configuration needs. MRP requires a considerable amount of setup and configuration, which can be time-consuming and complex. For example, an organization must first set up its bill of materials, routing, and inventory parameters to ensure that the MRP system accurately calculates and forecasts the demand for materials.
