Financial report: balance sheet row definition in Dynamics 365 Business Central

-

When setting up the chart of accounts I like to structure it with the same format that I like my balance sheet row definition to look like. In the example below you can see that I have things grouped together with begin and end totals. This is going to help me when I go to create the balance sheet row definition. 


Financial Reporting

Row Definition

Let's start with creating a row definition. Follow these simple steps to complete this task. 
  1. Search for Row Definitions and select (Financial Report) Row Definitions 



  2. We're going to create a new row definition now so go ahead and click on +New



  3. Add the name and description for the new row



  4. Open the new record. From here we're going to select insert > Insert G/L Accounts and select only the balance sheet accounts. 


  5. Once you have the rows added now, we're going to work on cleaning up. There are several things here we're going to focus on. 

    a. Update the Total Type from Total Accounts to Formula

    b.  Add Totaling for new Row Numbers

    c. Update Show from Yes to If Any Column Not Zero

    d. Update Show Opposite Sign for the liability accounts  

     


  6. Next we're going to test this. Search for Financial Reports and select from the reports and analysis section.



  7. Add a new row with the correct information for what you'd like to reference this report as. In this example I am using the out of the box Column Definition M-BALANCE.



  8. Select the new report to open the Financial Report. Update the Options to the correct information to run the report. 


    I like to export to Excel to review easier. Export to Excel/Print > Create new Excel template. 



    Verification completed and report ties out.

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

How I passed the MB-800 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant exam

How I failed the first time It was October 2020 and my manager at the time dared me to take the Beta exam without studying to gage how hard it was. I can't turn down a good dare, so I scheduled the exam for October 20, 2020, and spent the days leading up to it reviewing the skills measured document provided by Microsoft.  The day came and I felt pretty prepared to proceed with taking the exam. Because the exam was still in Beta I didn't find out until January 4, 2021, that I actually failed the exam. The passing score is 700 and I ended up with 615.  Looking back at that experience I remember thinking the exam was hard and that some of the questions were written in such a way that was confusing and thinking that I'd never pass. So, I put the exam on the back burner and continued on with my life.  Passing the second time It wasn't until recently (yesterday) that I decided to take the exam again. I decided that today was the day and that I was going to schedule the exam ...
