Most companies can tell you how many fixed assets they own. Fewer can quickly tell you which book they sit in, how they were depreciated, when they were reclassified, or what happened when they were disposed. That is not a data shortage. It is a governance shortage. In D365 Finance, fixed asset reporting quality is shaped upstream by fixed asset groups, books, depreciation profiles, posting profiles, and capitalization policy. Microsoft’s...

Most organizations think they have a visibility problem. Usually, they have a process problem wearing a visibility costume. Products already leave a trail through receiving, warehouse work, production, and shipment. In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, item tracing is based on historical inventory transactions plus a tracking dimension such as a batch, serial, or vendor batch number. From there, users can trace backward to the source and forward through production...

Most finance teams do not have a data problem. They have a structure problem. There is usually no shortage of numbers. There is, however, often a generous surplus of conflicting dimension values, spreadsheet-side “fixes,” and month-end rituals that feel less like accounting and more like archaeology. In D365 Finance, financial dimensions are part of the ledger account structure, account structures define what combinations are valid at posting, and default dimension...

Industrial and manufacturing organizations operate in a regulatory minefield. Indirect tax (sales tax, VAT, GST), SOX-style internal controls, cross-border trade rules, hazardous materials documentation, sustainability reporting, pick your flavor. The fun part is that “small” gaps rarely stay small. They turn into fines, delayed shipments, audit findings, and that special kind of meeting where everyone suddenly remembers they had “concerns for a while.” Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain...

In industrial organizations, order fulfillment isn’t a single handoff. It’s a chain reaction. Configured products. Long lead times. Partial shipments. Backorders. Engineering changes. Drop-ship orders. Intercompany fulfillment. Warehouse waves. Carrier appointments. And the occasional “we definitely have it… somewhere.” Every step introduces risk—and every missed handoff shows up later as margin erosion, late revenue, invoice disputes, or a customer escalation that begins with: “Just checking in…” (Spoiler alert: they were...

Supplier risk used to be a “special topic” reserved for global disruptions. In 2026, it’s a daily operating condition, especially when a supplier’s “confirmed” date keeps moving like it’s on a treadmill. If you’re running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management (F&SCM), procurement isn’t just about price. It’s about keeping the business running predictably. And predictable beats “technically we had a contract” every time. Here’s the Logan perspective:...

Most organizations don’t realize they have an Accounts Receivable problem until cash gets tight and the CFO starts checking the bank balance like it’s a live sports score. Revenue can look great. Sales can be growing. The pipeline can be “robust.” But cash doesn’t move when revenue is booked. It moves when customers pay — and the space between invoice and payment is where control is either built… or quietly...

Cash flow has always mattered. In 2026, it’s the difference between “we can” and “we can’t.” Volatility turned cash from a monthly metric into a daily operating constraint. Logan Consulting’s quick take: most organizations don’t have a forecasting problem. They have a control problem. The spreadsheet forecast becomes an emotional support animal—comforting, familiar, and only loosely connected to what’s happening in the business. The good news: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance...

The Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management 10.0.47 release continues Microsoft’s push toward a more scalable, high-performance ERP—particularly for organizations running high transaction volumes, global tax complexity, and advanced warehouse operations. Rather than introducing major net-new modules, this release focuses on: Performance baked directly into the platform Fewer feature toggles and legacy behaviors Stronger audibility and operational controls Below is a breakdown of new features, enhancements, and removed functionality...

A Logan Consulting POV on synchronizing inventory, production, and quality — for today’s distributed manufacturers In the modern supply chain, manufacturers rarely run a single plant with a single set of constraints. Whether it’s a domestic headquarter site plus regional facilities, contract manufacturers on the other side of the world, or a blend of owned and third‑party production, the multi‑site paradigm is now the norm, not the exception. But while...
