This module streamlines the handling of information as well as typical finance processes, such as posting financial transactions, generating financial statements, managing inventory and manufacturing costs, fixed assets and bank accounts.

The chart of accounts displays all the accounts (balance sheet accounts and income statements accounts) used to post transactions to the general ledger. Apart from default setup, advanced features for VAT or tax processing can be used. It is possible to define dimensions and add values in entries, which leads to increased report accuracy, as well as to create custom general ledger accounts. Such accounts are used in sales and purchase documents, and in general journals for posting transactions in the general ledger.
Dimensions
Once the appropriate setup is complete in Dynamics 365 Business Central, dimensions can be used in complex financial analyses. Default dimensions can be assigned to customers, items, vendors, G/L accounts, jobs or resources and numerous dimension values can be created for each dimension defined. For example, a customer group dimension can be assigned to a sales document before posting a sales transaction. A department can be assigned when posting expenses in order to facilitate the analysis and comparison of expenses in regard to specific departments.
