Recurring purchase lines in Dynamics 365 Business Central allows users to setup standard purchase codes that can then be assigned to specific vendors. Once assigned to a vendor the user can quickly process a purchasing transaction (purchase quote, order, invoice, or credit memo) by inserting the recurring purchase lines onto the document. The process is similar to recurring sales lines.
Outlined below are the steps to setup a standard purchase code and assign it to a vendor along with processing a purchase invoice.
1. Lookup recurring purchase lines then select new. In the example below, a code ' Expenses' has been setup for those monthly personal expenses that get reimbursed to employees. You can also setup different types for a comment, G/L account, item, resource, fixed asset, or charge (item).
Unfortunately the amount field isn't included in this window out of the box so you'll need to add that if it's something you'd like. To do this simply click on the settings then personalize. Once the personalizing window is open select '+ Field' and then select 'Amount Excl. Tax' and drag to the area you'd like this to show within the window.
Below is the completed standard purchase code card for expenses. The amounts of two of the three lines have been added which will pull through on the purchase invoice shown later on.
2. To assign the purchase code to the vendor open up the vendor card then click on the following Navigate > Purchases > Recurring Purchase Lines.
Within the recurring purchase lines window for the vendor you can assign the purchase code to the vendor and configure how you'd like the system to manage the purchase lines. There are three options for how you'd like the lines inserted onto a document: manual, automatic, or always ask. In the example below I've told the system to always ask the user if they'd like the recurring purchase lines added to the purchase invoice.
3. The result of the creating a standard purchase code card and assigning recurring purchase lines to the vendor is below. When a user creates a purchase invoice for the vendor that the purchase code was assigned to, there will be a notification at the top of the page asking the user if they like to insert the recurring purchase lines onto the document. Select "get recurring lines" and the recurring purchase lines window opens up where you can select the code you'd like to use.
Once the recurring purchase lines code is selected, the lines section of the purchase invoice section will be populated. Verify or update the information and post the document.
DynamicsCon is a first-of-its-kind, free virtual learning experience for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) and Power Platform users and professionals. Although it came out of the blue it was put together by a stellar team and it was highly successful in my opinion. In my opinion this event was successful because there was a need in the Dynamics community for high quality, free learning. DynamicsCon required all sessions to be prerecorded, and on top of that there was a live chat during every session where the presenter could interact with the audience. This was very new and very exciting for the attendees, especially during this world where all conferences are being cancelled or switched to virtual. Sessions I attended While there were several sessions within the Dynamics 365 Business Central track I only attended day 1 for the functional sessions. Below is a list of the sessions I attended. I've been consulting for D365BC for three years now and I was able to learn so much from each
Being able to purchase completely blank check stock for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) is a plus, however you'll have to know how to configure the system so the MICR line prints on the check stock. Microsoft added the MICR checks functionality in early 2020 and using it can be a challenge to use if you're not familiar with modifying layouts in BC. I'll walk you through the process of being able to use this functionality. I will be showing you how to do this within my Production environment test company. I will then show you how to update your production company once you've completed your configuration and modified the check layout. You should also test within a test company and test with your bank prior to updating in production company. If you're only modifying check layout and not using MICR line then you should be ok not testing with your bank first. Bank Account Card First step is adding the bank account and transit numbers to the bank account ca
Community Summit North America is set to kick off next week October 7-9, 2020. Community Summit is one of my favorite conferences of the year. This year is sure going to be different since it's going to be held virtually. Not being able to hug my friends and meet many others in person is going to be the hardest part of attending virtually for me. Please give us speakers grace and know that we have all prepared for countless hours to present; however presenting virtually is going to be such a different experience since we won't get to see all your smiling faces in the crowd! Community One of the biggest things about Community Summit is the "community." Each UG has their own community, but lately the lines are becoming more blurred. Since Microsoft has introduced the Power Platform and it's capabilities across all Dynamics products, I've been able to learn from many other community users, consultants, and MVPs. Bringing people together and being able to lear
