Question
You are implementing a Dynamics 365 Finance general ledger module for a client that has multiple legal entities.
The client has the following requirements:
- Configure automatic creation of due to/due from transactions based on when LegalEntityA transacts with LegalEntityB.
- Automatically split the dollar amount in half between DimensionA and DimensionB when the journal is posted.
- Set up fixed or variable allocations, and then review the allocations in a journal before posting.
- Automatically post year-end results to account 30016 during year-end close.
You need to configure the system.
Which system capability should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate configuration in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation
Due to/due from: an intercompany journal posts across legal entities, and the due to/due from entries are created automatically when LegalEntityA transacts with LegalEntityB. Split in half: allocation terms on a main account define the percentage of a voucher that is posted automatically to destination dimensions when the voucher is posted, so a 50/50 split fits. Fixed or variable allocations: ledger allocation rules support basis (variable), fixed percentage and fixed weight methods and generate allocation journals that can be reviewed before posting. Year-end results to account 30016: accounts for automatic transactions is the capability chosen for automatic postings to a defined account. Ledger allocation rules are wrong for the second row because they generate a journal to review rather than posting automatically.
