Dynamics 365 BC
The process of reviewing a document is the same in all business systems: Oracle EBS/Cloud, SAP HANA S/4, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Below are a few examples of reviewing and updating records such as items, item variants, sales orders, sales invoices, purchase orders, etc. You can follow the same steps to review or post any other document. This document also covers some document posting samples, such as posting sales order shipment and invoice, etc.
