D365 Finance and Operations
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365 F&O) is a comprehensive, cloud-based ERP solution designed for larger organizations. While often referred to as a single product, it's actually composed of two core applications: Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
Dynamics 365 Finance focuses on financial management, providing robust capabilities for general ledger, accounts payable/receivable, budgeting, cash flow management, fixed assets, and financial reporting. It enables global financial visibility, streamlines compliance across multiple currencies and legal entities, and uses AI for features like predictive cash flow and customer payment predictions.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (SCM), on the other hand, is dedicated to optimizing end-to-end operational processes. This includes procurement and sourcing, inventory management, warehouse management, production control, manufacturing, and transportation. SCM leverages IoT and AI for predictive maintenance, optimized inventory levels, and enhanced supply chain visibility, ensuring efficient material flow from raw materials to finished goods and delivery.
Together, as a unified D365 product, Finance and SCM offer a holistic ERP system that helps businesses gain real-time insights, automate processes, and scale globally, ultimately driving efficiency and profitability.
