Top Finance Features in 10.0.45

2. Asset Leasing

Lease Impairment Workflow
Adds a Submit button in the impairment dialog, routing requests for approval before posting.
Mandatory Description on Leasing Journals
Journals cannot be posted without a description — strengthening audit trails.
Lease Termination Posting
When a lease is terminated, D365 automatically posts to the Fixed Asset subledger — reducing manual work.

3. Cash & Bank Management

Automatic Vendor Account Matching
Matches vendor accounts automatically during bank reconciliation based on IBAN or bank account number.
Optimized Auto Settlement
Improves performance for high-volume settlements, reducing processing time.

4. General Ledger

Reverse Out-of-Balance Ledger Settlements
Automatically reverses incorrect settlements that cross fiscal years or lack realized gain/loss postings.
Check for Highly Variable Dimensions
Warns about dimensions that may slow trial balances, consolidations, or year-end close processes.

5. Electronic Reporting (ER)

In-App PDF Conversion
Generate PDFs for configurable business documents (Word/Excel) natively within D365 — no external service required.
Suppress Forced Batch Job Retries
Stops repeated retry loops when ER batch jobs fail, helping stabilize processing.

Changes like mandatory descriptions may require retraining your AP/AR teams.
Monitor Dimension Performance
Large, highly variable dimensions can slow down reporting — review them regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are these features automatically enabled?

Some are mandatory (like leasing journal descriptions). Others must be enabled manually in the Feature Management workspace.

Q2: Should we use preview features in production?

No — test them in sandbox first to assess impact and stability.

Q3: Will this break customizations?

It might — especially if you have custom leasing journals or AR processes. Always perform regression testing after enabling new features.

Q4: Why is batch telemetry important?

It lets you spot failed or slow batch jobs proactively, helping you resolve issues before they affect financial closing.
