MS Dynamics AX 2012 Posting Profile Concept

The posting profiles are the integration point between the sub module (Fixed assets, Payables, Inventory, Banks, Receivables, Project, and Production) and general ledger sub module, it is a set of ledger accounts which are used in generated an automatic ledger entry where transaction occurred. We could select different ledger accounts for each type of sub modules transactions.

The application consultant working with the controller in several workshops during the implementation phases, in the analysis phase to identify the business requirements in financial directions, in the design phase to identify the integrations point through the posting profiles for each module, in the deployment phase apply the posting profile in MS Dynamics AX 2012 and get the user acceptance (UAT) by testing every transaction and ensure that MS Dynamics AX 2012 is generate the correct entry based on the posting profile setup.

MS Dynamics AX 2012 master data are designed to be contained a group for categorization from the sub module point of view, for example the customer groups are build up considering two main sides first side is the customers categorizations for sales reporting (Business domain, Company relations, Customer size, import, and export), and the second side is financial direction, whether setting up the posting profiles based on customer groups where each customer group is mapped into a ledger account.

MS Dynamics AX offers a great flexibility in posting profiles setups where the posting could be on three different levels as the following:-

All Any transaction occurred on any customers will be directed to the ledger account which assigned to all customer
Group Any transaction on a particular customer inherits the posting profile of the customer group to which the customer is assigned.
Table Any transaction occurred on a particular customer will be directed to the ledger account which is assigned in the posting profile

The controllers have a common question during the design phase which level of All, Group, and Table is dominate over the other level, and do we can to assign customer to a specific group, but exceptionally this customer should be directed to another ledger account.

The logic of posting profile domination in MS Dynamics AX 2012 is working as the following, the lowest level is Table where specify customer ID is dominate over Group, and All.

For example: All customers directed to same ledger account, except one group is directed to another ledger account, exceptionally one customer directed to a third ledger account.

AX 2012 중 Sharepoint 기반의 서비스를 2가지로 분류해 본다면, Enterprise Portal과 Employee Services 가 존재합니다.

Enterprise Portal은 AX 2012 Client의 Role Center 메인 페이지와 기본적인 ERP 모듈들의 조회 및 Vendor Portal등에 대한 서비스를 제공하는 사이트입니다.

반면, Employee Services 같은 경우는 직원 대사우 서비스라는 이름으로 부를 수 있는 기능들이 들어가 있습니다. 간략하게 기능들을 열거하면 아래와 같습니다. 아직은 Payroll 부분이 국내 급여 체계를 커버할 수 있는 상황이 아니기 때문에 관련 부분은 사용하기 힘들겠지만 타 모듈과의 연계 부분에 대해서는 적용할 수 있는 부분이 많이 있지 않을까 싶습니다.

- Expenses
- Order products
- Organization
- Approvals
- Team
- Time and attendance
- Timesheets
- Personal information
- Questionnaires
