Important

Regulatory Configuration Service (RCS) will be deprecated. All new RCS provisioning is stopped as of 10.0.39 GA. If provisioning is required, please register a support ticket. We will be providing tools and required support for migration from RCS to the Globalization Studio workspace. We plan to fully shut down RCS by August 1, 2024. For more information about migration to Globalization Studio workspace, see Regulatory Configuration Service merge to the Globalization Studio workspace

Electronic reporting (ER) repositories are used to share ER configurations. You can import ER configurations from different repositories into your instance of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. When you import ER configurations, configuration providers can publish new versions repositories so that they can be shared.

This article explains how to import updated versions of ER configurations from the Global repository of the Configuration service. For more information, see Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance - Regulatory Services, Configuration service.

Important

We don't recommend that you schedule a recurring batch job to import updated versions of ER configurations directly from the Global repository into a production environment, because the imported versions will immediately be available for use. Instead, use this approach to deploy versions of ER configurations to a sandbox environment. They can then be evaluated in the sandbox environment before they are deployed to a production environment.
