    Hi MuditI'd be interested in seeing the full list too. I'm particularly interested in whether there are entities for the retail discounts (mix & match, multi-buy, etc.) as we have a customer that has complex promotions requirements who wants to be able to set up their promotions in their test environment and make sure that they work the way they expect and then export that setup into live.ThanksMalcolm

    Raj and Cristian.I have got similar requests from other people as well. We are going to release DIXF as hotfix which can be installed on AX 2012 R2 (less than CU7).  This version would be same as CU7 version but it would not force to take full CU7. I am going to post details later today.
