Don’t forget democracy exists because armies could turn inwards on rulers and so needed a “stake” and level of control to avoid revolution. What if armies are AI and Robots. Then territories and resources become important and not people.

That’s a good position you take on the word “cat”

Here is Australia we have the same problem. Instead of defining what a safe environment and ensuring minimum compliance to operate in a market. Lower pricing for no-ad plans, restrictions of algorithms for addiction, easier tools for parents to add content above a minimum level, etc.

I wish the #msdyn365bc team had time to listen and take some of this wisdom to heart. www.youtube.com/live/AyH7zoP...

I know again - that’s minimum parity with other ERPs in the same price bracket. Again as a cloud solution you expect them to take care of all the backend data components to make that happen. The PowerBi apps are interesting but constrained by the same problem and lack of extensibility.

Ironically it’s useful analytics in power bi that has mostly unlocked productivity for our team combined with obvious automations and notifications. I’d love better integration there. My god real-time data would be transformative.

You should hear what customers say. When the dust settles on this the pointless technical debt and loss of focus on other real areas of need should result in repercussions for the team. But ultimately it speaks more to Microsoft’s leadership and cultural of top-down incentives to guide strategy.

It isn’t like any one cat has a monopoly on cat in box pictures

Shouting into the void from down under unfortunately. It’s been years and many low difficulty, high impact needs haven’t been addressed. I don’t hold high hopes.

And one all key competitors provide. The analysis view is a short term fix that creates UX confusion and has counter intuitive limitations. Microsoft should include a synchronised meaningful data warehouse that respects relationships out of box and is realtime.

Seems like something a Microsoft agent could handle to go through all the apps in appsource and evaluate if company still exists, when it was last updates, how many companies have actually used it and how old the code is. Suspect a good cleanse is required like my 12 year olds drawer.

Enhancing transparency in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: who created and last modified the record? In today's fast-paced business world, transparency and accountability are vital for smooth operations. Back in 2020 Wave 2, Microsoft helpfully added four news fields to track who created and modified...

I am not yet ready to contribute to the "open source" application of Business Central, but if I was going to this would be a simple request. #msdyn365bc www.linkedin.com/pulse/enhanc...

Well if you don’t have eggs you have to fill the aisles with some products not dependent on the weather or disease vectors

Waiting to see why no one has yet been caught lighting fires on Tesla facilities and who they are. Given it’s probably covered by insurance and politically benefits Elon and Trump - being sceptical is a reasonable position. Soon talking down Tesla will be supporting terrorists.

#msdyn365bc perhaps it’s a good idea to ensure that by default reminder automation filters for any previously sent reminders in the send step of automation. Accidentally sending 20 emails has had major impacts.

If you doing some deep thinking I’d tackle the whole archived documents model first. That has no conceivable benefit, adds massive complexity to adding fields and confusion for users. Offload change history to cloud if you want and give full versioning…

I hope the team is working with faster and potentially local models. I finally got a simple search to work based on a PO number. It took 11 seconds to return a response, vs Alt-Q search which took less than 1 second. I don't think this kind of performance is viable long term.

Excited to update to 25.4 to get Copilot Chat in Australia on #msdyn365bc, but my unfortunate experience has been that the error messages in AI aren't anything more useful.

It’s a great point though. Best practice would be to have a change log centralised. I know each individual app provider might have on their website, but in general app stores don’t force you to go to separate websites to find out what has changed.

Think this is a bigger problem of lack of investment in platform by product team. I doubt (or hope) it’s not a lack of passion. Filter construction in new sap web client and Odoo are blowing them out of the water. Every release they improve. #mdyn365bc has been stagnant for years.

Key take homes. For SME, worksheets aren’t workable, forecasts aren’t useful, you need both inductive and deductive reasoning, not just statistical analysis and any AI is best used to answer small questions rather than the solve the entire problem.

Needed to figure out what sales orders get consumed by forecasts, how to split monthly forecast data and align with purchase order arrivals (we are largely container freight) in lumpy arrivals and customers will wait. Main business goals spot problems of too much or too little months in advance… w

Building our own PTE for inventory forecasting and intelligent problem identification. No worksheets. Just alerts and underlying analysis data which simplifies and reinterprets business data including forecasts. #msdyn365bc No manufacturing and variants makes this much simpler.

It’s all hype I hope but the product teams do seem to take it literally - they couldn’t do this if they try. Look how many years they have taken and they have barely shifted architecture of business central.

Unfortunately it looks like customers are shouting into the void. Actual product teams seems powerless to translate top-down directives into business value - hence the desperation for partners to adopt. First year I’ve seriously considered another product as I spend all my time “hiding” new features

I think there is a lot of gaslighting going on with us being told how much “value” is being delivered and nothing about cost. We might see that change, but I’m not sure Microsoft is the one who will deliver breakthrough value given their own reality distortion field.

Only a small request. Could excel export recognise empty lines and potential allow the concept of a major header - not just bold. Those are minor quibbles.

Just wanting to say to the team working on Financial Reporting - great job. I actually impressed a Xero using accountant with how flexible we could be - especially with account categories as I mirrored their end of year reports in front of them. #msdyn365bc

10 days of “I wish the #msdyn365bc would copy this idea” posts. Day 1 - Perspectives on document lines. Fields and actions are grouped into perspectives. Ordering, Profitability, Manufacturing, Status. Reduce clutter and avoid endless scrolling. First saw in SAP B1 but Netsuite is now copying.

Update mostly fixed this afternoon after hotfix deployed but it was a strange process and a few residual bugs clearly related to indexing and tables. Maybe a good reminder (which shouldn’t be the case) to skip any .0 cloud release.
