Common Data Service - Data Integration - Configuring Prospect to Cash - Part 3


Prospect to Cash

The Prospect to cash solution provides direct synchronization across Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition, and Dynamics 365 for Sales. 

The Prospect to cash templates that are available with the Data Integration feature enable the flow of data for accounts, contacts, products, sales quotations, sales orders, and sales invoices between Finance and Operations and Sales. 

While data is flowing between Finance and Operations and Sales, you can perform sales and marketing activities in Sales, and you can handle order fulfillment by using inventory management in Finance and Operations.

This will populate a new LineCreationSequnceNumber field in the SalesLine, SalesQuotationLine, and CustInvoiceTrans tables with unique values, and the product list will be refreshed. This is required for the Prospect to cash integration to work.

Dynamics 365 - Uninstall CDS Solution from CRM Instance - Create Invoice Button Missing on Order Form

Hi All, When we delete the managed CDS solutions from the D365 Sales instance, the D365 instance doesn't get reverted back to its OOB state. We will notice that Create Invoice Button is missing from the Order form. And Submit Order button still remains present on the order form. The issue is because of the "IsSOPIntegrationEnabled" attribute setting on  Entity "organization" . When the CDS solution is uninstalled for integrating Sales and Fin Ops systems, the following changes are still present: 1.
