Background

Overview

First Up Consultants provides Commercial Cleaning services to its clients. The company purchases all its cleaning supplies from Best For You Organics Company.

First Up Consultants is using a cloud-based Dynamics 365 Finance instance. The system has a foundation table named CashDisc that contains one cash discount record for each cash discount type.

Best For You Organics Company invoices First Up Consultants and allows cash discounts based on how fast an invoice is paid. First Up Consultants is entitled to a two percent discount from Best for You Organics for any invoice that is paid within 10 days and has a minimum invoice amount of $2,500.

Business requirements

All new and extended objects must be located in an existing model named FinanceExt. The creation of new models is not permitted.

Best For You Organics Company requires that First Up Consultants apply specific minimum invoice amounts to each cash discount record. A cash discount may only be applied when the minimum invoice amount requirement has been met. The new field must be added to the CashDisc form grid with the allowable visible number of characters set to 10.

First Up Consultants must retrieve the required Cash Discount methods and corresponding minimum invoice amounts directly from Best For You Organics Company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) requires the following reports:

– A report that shows all outstanding invoices, their cash discount types including the new minimum threshold applicable, and the amount of the discount. The report must only be accessed by users who are members of the Accounts Payable Manager role.

– You must create a Microsoft Excel workbook that lists unpaid invoices to Best For You Organics Company that have a due date earlier than 5/1/2019 and an Invoice Amount between $20,000 and $100,000.

Cash discounts for unpaid invoices must be updated with the new minimum invoice amounts.
