Big Changes Ahead for D365 Finance & Supply Chain Deployments

Microsoft is implementing significant changes to the deployment process for Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain, aiming to enhance efficiency and user experience. These updates are particularly relevant for organizations planning to implement or currently using D365 Finance and Supply Chain. Key impacts include:

Licensing & Permissions

When deploying in Lifecycle Services (LCS), having the correct licensing and permissions is now more critical than ever. Microsoft has tightened requirements to ensure only authorized users can access and manage deployments, reinforcing security and compliance across the board.

Storage Requirements

Integrating Dataverse will result in additional storage consumption, but there’s great news to ease the transition. Microsoft is stepping up by providing an extra 3GB of Dataverse capacity for each sandbox and production environment, ensuring you have the resources needed to support this enhanced functionality without added stress.

Deployment Steps

Power Platform integration is now a required configuration when setting up new environments, marking a significant step toward a more unified and efficient ecosystem. For organizations already leveraging Power Platform, there’s an added advantage – you can seamlessly link your existing environment to streamline the setup process and maximize operational efficiency.

  • Plan for Transition: Develop a comprehensive plan to transition to the new deployment model, including timelines, resource allocation, and potential training for staff.
