Deprecated Features in the UK Version of Dynamics 365 Business Central

This topic lists and describes the local functionality for the United Kingdom that has been removed from Business Central, made available from a new page or report, or replaced by a new feature.

Accounting periods and system calendar

If your fiscal year is different than the calendar, you can measure your fiscal period in other units of time, such as months or quarters. To do this, you set up system calendars and accounting periods.

Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Removed Lack of use. Additionally, there are standard features for accounting periods that provide most of the same functionality as the UK accounting periods.

Create and export a Bankers' Automated Clearing Service file

You can use Bankers' Automated Clearing Service (BACS) to process financial transactions electronically. To do so, you must export vendor payments to a BACS file using the Export BACS option.

Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Removed This banking format standard is no longer used. This functionality is now covered by extensions such as the Envestnet Yodlee Bank Feeds, AMC Banking, and various other formats.

Non-invoiced stock reports

For month-end reconciliation and auditing, you can use the Stock Received Not Invoiced report to view stock that is received but not yet invoiced, and the Stock Shipped Not Invoiced report to see stock that has been shipped but not yet invoiced.

Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Moved The functionality for the Shipped, Non-Invoiced Sales Orders and the Received, Not Invoiced Purchase Order reports are no longer specific to the UK, so we have made them generally available as views for sales orders and purchase orders. The views are available in the Navigation Pane as Shipped Not Invoiced and Shipped Not Received options under Sales Orders and Purchase Orders, respectively.

The Unposted Sales and Unposted Purchase reports let you print a list of sales and purchase documents that are not yet posted.

Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Moved The Unposted Sales and Unposted Purchase reports are now available from the Navigation Pane as views under Sales Orders and Purchase Orders.

Other VAT reports

You can use the following reports for VAT reporting:

  • Day Book VAT Entry - Displays the daily total for VAT entries for a specific period.
  • Day Book Cust. Ledger Entry - Displays the daily total for customer ledger entries for a specific period.
  • Day Book Vendor Ledger Entry - Displays the daily total for vendor ledger entries for a specific period.
Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Moved These VAT-related reports are no longer specific to the UK, so we have made them generally available in the standard product.

Specify the Supply Type on documents

You can specify supply types such as sales, loan, exchange, hire, lease, rental, sales on commission, on tax invoices. To do this, you must update the codes and names of the supply types in the Types of Supply window.

Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Removed Lack of use. The business need that this functionality was introduced to cover is no longer relevant.

Multiple interest rates

When you create finance charge terms and reminder terms, for delayed payment penalty, you can specify multiple interest rates so that the penalty fee is calculated from different interest rates in different periods.

Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Moved The Multiple Interest Rates feature is no longer specific to the UK, so we have made it generally available in the standard product.

Direct Sales Details and Direct Purchase Details reports

You can view headers with order numbers and descriptions from sales and purchase documents, and filter or select data for these reports based on the general ledger account number, document number, and posting date.

Moved, Removed, or Replaced? Why?
Removed Lack of use.
