Dynamics Field Service, Project Service & Sales

If you have Field Service and/or Project Service installed in your Dynamics 365 instance you might be aware of the different forms that were added to the opportunity, quote, order, opportunity lines, quote lines and order lines entities. Not everyone is aware that the sales module in Dynamics 365 works really well with the Field Service and Project Service Automation modules so I am going to explain this functionality inRead More

Inventory Transfers using the Inventory Dashboard

In this post I’m going to discuss how to use the previously created Inventory Dashboard to perform and inventory transfer, meaning moving products from one warehouse to another.

The fact that opportunity products didn’t carry over to the work order didn’t make a lot of sense to me, so I am glad that Microsoft now includes this type of functionality. After all, there are severalRead More
