If you review the Sent Emails and only see your emails, it's because the User Email View Policies is set to view own emails. Let's review the process of updating this.  Search for  User Email View Policies  and if you don't see it then you'll have to have your Business Central admin update for you or have your admin give you permissions to this page. Within the User Email View Policies page, the User ID '-' is the current user logged into the system.  You have four options to choose from: View own emails View all emails View if access to all related records View if access to any related records You can also add a New line for another user if you want to set up permissions by user. In the example below I'm going to set the current logged in user to view all emails. Now when I go to Sent Emails the user can see everything for all users. ------ Kristen Hosman is a Microsoft MVP in Denver. She works with Dynamics 365 Business Central and related technologies.

When new clients approach me for support after their Dynamics 365 Business Central go-live, it's often because their initial implementation didn’t go as smoothly as planned. They may have been left with systems that don’t fully meet their business needs, or they’re encountering unexpected challenges that disrupt their operations. These businesses are seeking expertise to help them overcome these hurdles, optimize their setup, and finally achieve the efficiency and productivity they were aiming for when they first chose Dynamics 365 Business Central. My role is to step in, diagnose the issues, and guide them towards a solution that aligns with their goals. I'm about to discuss three prevalent issues I frequently encounter with new clients that were onboarded by another partner. Here we go. Subledgers are not balancing to the general ledger. This includes bank accounts, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory. The primary issue arises when direct posting is enabled

Due to its success, Dynamics Communities has decided to host the event again in July 2025. Registration has already opened, so be sure to take a look.  Home - Biz Apps Partner Summit (summitna.com) The event spanned two days in a spacious ballroom, with sessions mostly ranging from 30 to 45 minutes, resulting in a wealth of content being shared. Numerous supporting partners also participated, setting up their booths just outside the ballroom. The conference concept was very appealing and being in Seattle offered ample sightseeing opportunities. I'm definitely excited to attend in 2025 and explore the various sights I missed on this trip. Here are my reflections on the two days. Day 1 The initial day was packed with educational
