[Learning] Transportation management in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations

I don't talk much about TMS in this blog, so I decided to correct that a bit, and post a set of educational links for those interested in starting up with Transportation management in AX.

If you are already familiar with all the concepts, you probably won't gain that much from these, but for those just starting up, I think it can provide a great overview of what the system can do.

You can start by reviewing the presentation one of my colleagues did a while back.

For a more in depth look, you can go through the TMS learning course (note it is based on AX 2012 R3, but the functionality is largely still the same in the latest release):

A couple more learning videos are available through the below link:

Transportation management implementation guide and white papers available can be found through our SCM team blog posts:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dynamicsaxscm/2015/01/27/new-white-papers-for-tms/

And, finally, we have a permanent page on doc.microsoft.com, that you can access through the below link. This is where most of the upcoming functional changes and updates will be communicated going forward.

And, of course, if you have further questions after this, please reach out, so we can connect you with the right people to help.

Thanks

Announcement: Extensibility documentation is now available

With the next release of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations Enterprise edition we plan to soft seal the Application Suite model.
For anyone not yet familiar with this agenda, please read through the previous announcement

The partner channel need to be educated for them to successfully migrate their development to using extensions instead of overlayering.

In order to help with that we have created a dedicated section on Extensibility in our documentation, which has a number of details about our plans, the process of migrating to extensions, as well as specific How to articles around platform capabilities, as well as specific application frameworks and how to extend them (coming soon...)

Home page for Extensibility documentation

If you cannot find a particular topic, let us know, either directly on the docs page, or here through comments to this post.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Help content for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is now available on TechNet

As you might have heard, AX 2012 has RTM'ed recently.
Now, the question you might ask is - OK, I have read the What's new in AX 2012, but that's not enough. The changes are too vast and I need more detailed information about them.

Well, worry no more :)

The information about AX 2012 is now available on TechNet, with a lot of new content still being added each day. And, finally, it's actually interesting to read. We now have various graphs, diagrams and tables that should help you understand each feature area a bit better.

Hint: The description of the functional modules of the application is under section 5. Use Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Enjoy!
