How to modify a journal template in Dynamics 365

One of my favorite features that is both a power user function and an ease-of-use tool is the native Excel integration throughout Dynamics 365 F&O. With the native Excel integration to create, delete, and update in Excel, you can save your users a ton of time while making it easy to use. Today I am going to show some details on how to permanently customize one of our journal templates for use in Excel. 

What budget options are available in D365 Finance

Today I'm going to do a quick introduction to the three different budget modules that are available for general-ledger level budgeting.

Add Financial Dimensions and lookups to Excel templates in D365 F&O

Follow these quick and easy steps to enable financial dimensions for Excel templates and OData scenarios in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. Using OData to import and work with data is often faster than by entering records in the Dynamics 365 application. I have a link to my completed project if you'd like to apply this change in your Contoso demo environment as well.

Save time during close with a trial balance including unposted detail

We have a fantastic new report that I have had customers asking me about for years. We now have a trial balance report based on Electronic Reporting that can generate a trial balance including unposted transactions. This is a great time saver during close where you can preview journals and verify expected results prior to final posting.
