Configuring a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations system requires settings on hundreds of forms. In this session, we look at how you can use data management to streamline the setup of a new system with spreadsheets. Once you have these spreadsheets, they can be used to guide you through the setup in an orderly fashion.

This type of configuration is not without challenges, including the format of the data, number of spreadsheets required, the order to run the sheets. Laura has been fully configuring systems since AX2012 with spreadsheets for 7 years and will walk you through the challenges and ways to overcome them.

Do you have multiple companies? Should you use copy company or some other methodology? Let’s look at the pros and cons of copy company vs. rerunning the same spreadsheets into the new company (ies).

Once you’ve configured you have to migrate data. Some of the challenges with data migration are similar but there are also unique challenges as well. Next we talk about the differences between configuration and data migration and how you use the data management framework differently for data migration. Customers and vendors have some real challenges to be able to load this data and then update it if addresses or other information changes. There are some techniques that can be used to guarantee updates are possible without having to look up record ids, party numbers, or address/location ids. 

Learning Objectives:

•Understand the challenges with loading many data entities at once and ways to overcome those challenges
•Using Excel to help build the data to be loaded
•Knowing what to migrate from legacy systems and key data entities that will be required
•Steps to validate data
•What to do when you make a mistake and all that bad data is in your system

Manage your projects using Dev Ops (formerly VSTS). DevOps gives your users, managers, SME’s, and customers the ability to collaborate based on the project plan and business processes. We will show you how DevOps is used in a project and customized to the industry by using industry specific Business Process Models and capturing all backlog items under the BPM. Defining dashboards and queries for different models such as the operating model, integration model and data model allows the team to quickly focus on the current project state and key activities.

The content of this session is geared toward an audience with beginner to intermediate-level knowledge of the subject area.
