Journal entries: Quick allocation to multiple locations - Allocate journal entry amounts to multiple locations quicker with the new dropdown menu that allows you to select multiple locations instead of adding locations one by one.
Journal entry types - The new “type” field in the journal entry screen allows users to categorize the journal entry as either “standard,” “amortization,” or “adjustment.” Imported journal entries can have a type of “beginning balance,” making it easy for R365 implementation coaches to identify beginning balance entries and minimize reconciliation time, or “payroll” to true up labor accrual entries. All types will be displayed in the new “types” column in the journal entries grid. See related documentation
Less restrictions on GL accounts/types in CFR - Accounting admins now have more flexibility when making changes to GL accounts that are used in Custom Financial Reports. Before this update, users could not make changes that would result in changing the “Type” within the “GL Type.” Now, the restriction is based on the GL type’s “Financial Report,” giving custom financial report users more flexibility while making it easier to make changes to GL accounts.
R365 Scheduling
Display only “home store” employees in scheduler - Managers can now see a cleaner list of employees when scheduling by clicking the “home store only” checkbox in the employee view menu. By checking this box, managers will only see the employees that have the selected location as their home store and exclude employees who may have worked a few shifts at the selected location but are not regularly scheduled there.
Exclude total hours from printed schedule - Managers can now exclude the daily total hours for scheduled employees before printing the schedule. This gives them more flexibility to make day-of labor hour decisions without setting employee expectations of how many hours they will work. See related documentation
