Using Linktree to your advantage at conferences

-

Business cards are a thing of the past!

You read that right, business cards are a thing of the past! I recently went to a Microsoft Dynamics partner conference and came home with four business cards total and there were over 1100 attendees. 

It used to be I'd come home with between 20-30 business cards after attending a conference, but technology has since changed that. Now I use Linktree. 

Linktree

Linktree allows me to put all my socials and contact information in one place. I use the QR code below on my introduction slide when I present at conferences, and I also have it on my wallpaper on my iPhone. This allows anyone to quickly scan and contact me. 


Email functionality

One of my favorite features of Linktree is that I can add an Email button so prospects can quickly send me an email letting me know what they're looking for; rather than me making notes on a business card and forgetting to contact them when I return to the office. 


I use mailxto.com to generate the email link and also default in the information to make it quicker for the prospect to send me an email. Once they click on the Email button, after scanning my QR code their phone opens up their default mail app and the fields below are populated. This then creates an actionable item for me to complete when I return to the office. 


Long story short...

it's 2023 and business cards are a thing of the past. 

Side note: make a QR code with the MailxTo url and have prospects send you an email right away rather than taking them to a Linktree with links to all your socials. 

If this was helpful let me know in the comments. If you have any conference hacks also let me know in the comments.

Applying posted credit memos to posted invoices isn't a hard task to complete in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The example I use below is for a vendor credit, but the same process applies to customers.  Version: US Business Central 20.0 Open up the vendors list. Search for vendor that you'd like to apply the credit memo to an invoice for.  Click on Balance field to open up Vendor Ledger Entries window. This will show all the 'open' documents on the vendor ledger. Select the line for the Credit Memo that you want to apply to a posted invoice. Click Process > Apply Entries Within the Edit - Apply Vendor Entries window select the line(s) that you'd like the credit memo applied to.  Click Process > Set Applies-to ID This will put the users name into the Applies-to ID field on the line selected. To post the application select Process > Post Application. Written by: Kristen Hosman, Microsoft MVP

Dimension Corrections in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

-

If you've ever coded something to the wrong dimension and noticed after posting don't just assume a journal entry is the only way to fix it. Microsoft has included a Dimension Corrections tool within Business Central and it's pretty easy to use. Let's walk through the process of updating a posted entries dimension where the user forgot to add the dimensions in this case. Same process would apply if you needed to change a posted dimension as well. Within the General Ledger Entries page, select the line for the entry that needs to be corrected, then click on Entry > Correct Dimensions.  Within the Draft Dimension Correction window go ahead and update the description if needed and mark Update Analyses Views if you're using those.  Next section Dimension Correction Changes go ahead and add the updates. In my case my entry is missing two dimensions so I'm going to add each of those in there. Since my dimensions were missing the Dimension Value Code field is blank,...
