You know Power Automate connects with D365 F&O, but you are not sure how you might use it?  In this session we will look at a couple examples that will hopefully you give you some ideas. For example: create a workflow for new customers that need credit team approval, create a workflow for new vendors to get W9 or tax information, and create a journal entry from Excel getting approval before anything is entered in D365.

Getting Started with Asset Leasing - Thu Oct 14, 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM CDT

Leasing is a common activity for many organizations and one that typically goes under the radar until now.

Are you looking for ways to automate some of your routine accounting functions, like reconciling sub ledgers to the general ledger?   Microsoft has recently created some examples using Power Automate Desktop (think of it like Task Recording on steroids).

Power Automate then extracts data from both reports in Excel and compares the balances. Power Automate then posts a Team message letting you know the subledger is in balance. Power Automate saves the reports with the date in the file name, so there is backup. Microsoft Directions & Example   I working with the example, I needed to make a couple of adjustments to the sample flow that was provided but I was able to get it to work. Here is a video of the flow r...

Have you ever wanted to put a website or a model-driven Power App in one of your existing Dynamics 365 Finance workspaces or forms?  You might already know you can create a new workspace with a website, but did you know you can add the website to an existing workspace? Here is an example of the Vendor invoice entry workspace with the Invoice Capture Power App embedded. Prior to using this feature, you need to turn on "Saved views support for workspaces" in feature management. Once this feature is enabled you can follow the following steps to add the Invoice Capture app or any model-driven Power App or website to an existing workspace.
