How are Dynamics 365 partners handling complex legacy-to-cloud transitions today?
Hi all, I’m interested in understanding how partners are currently approaching complex ERP modernization scenarios, especially when working with long-standing legacy systems and heavily customized environments. From a partner delivery and strategy perspective: Are you seeing more clients choosing full reimplementation vs phased migration? How are you handling deeply customized legacy environments during transition to D365 Finance & SCM? What’s the biggest challenge today, technical complexity, client mindset, or cost justification? Are clients more open to cloud now, or still preferring hybrid/extended legacy setups? How are you positioning value when clients feel their current system is “good enough”? Would be great to hear real partner experiences across industries.

CPOR Association for Incentives and Recognition
CPOR Association for Incentives and Recognition As I am sure you are all aware we all need to claim CPOR when we are not the billing partner. I have seen some changes to this process in recent months and wanted to get some clarification please Build Intent - Advisor (Pre-sales) We have recently been told that this is only for incentives So now Msft will pay you for workloads that you are not recognised for ?? Influenced Revenue Recognition - Non Incentivised This will get you association and recognition for the workloads Usage Recognition - Non Incentivised This will get you association and recognition for the workloads You appear to only be able to claim this if you use the Msft template. All other signed documentation appear to be rejected My questions are When did Msft make these changes and why What is the difference between Influenced and Usage Recognition Why MUST we use the template, and not be able to use a signed SoW with the details included We are now potentially making 3 claims per customer to ensure that they are fully associated to our Solution Designation scores

Using GDAP with Purview Roles for Search and Purge
I'm facing an issue that I believe may be related to how my current employer has set up GDAP, but I am struggling to get a solid answer on the solution to the issue as it's not clear if the problem is simply a limitation through GDAP or something not configured correctly. Scenario: We have a GDAP relationship set up with 20+ clients that provides us with Entra roles such as Security Operator, User Administrator, etc. Various Entra roles to perform common tasks as an MSP We are currently unable to perform email purges using Explorer in Defender or Purview, as the role required appears to be only assignable to a user account or group that exists in the tenant in question, and as we are acting through GDAP, there is no account or group to give that role to. On the back of this, I have several questions/requests: Should a GDAP relationship also create some group or guest/external user that roles of this nature can be assigned to? Is there something specific we need to do through our GDAP configuration to allow us to search and purge emails?

D365 SCM Warehouse Only licensing requirement
Hi all, If anybody has more insights on the D365 SCM Warehouse Management Only solution and it's licensing requirement, that would be great: Warehouse management only mode overview - Supply Chain Management | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn. Eg. does the customer needs to pay regular SCM licenses with 20 seat minimum? (I expect so). Or, since it's only a part of the SCM module, are there some license exceptions? Cheers, Martijn

Team Members 15 Additional Tables
Team members have their own apps, e.g., Sales Team Members. Within this app, some tables are configured out-of-the-box. Do these tables, such as Contacts, count toward the 15 additional table quota, or are they 15 on top of the preconfigured tables?

BizApps Benefit -D365 Finance for IUR qualifies as base for an attach license?
Hello With the upcoming D365 Finance and Operations user license validation, we expect to see some of our users required to get an SCM license. In this case, we have 100 D365 Finance for IUR licenses through the benefits package. Would they qualify as the base license for SCM Attach licenses? TIA

BTC 3 enrollment eligibility
Hello, a company wants to join Bridge to the Cloud 3 next year. They are starting with 40 users and then scaling up to 120 users after migration. For the migration phase, they want to book 10 CSP users before joining the promotion. How should the following passage from the FAQ be interpreted? Are 10 users compliant for the preliminary project because they are scaling up to 120 users, or only 4 because they are only booking 40 licenses at the start of the promotion? Q3: Can customers who licensed a small quantity of Dynamics 365 online licenses for testing enroll in this promotion? A: Use of a free trial offer (prior to BTC3 enrollment) does not impact eligibility for this BTC3 promotion. Although customers with prior paid online licenses of the same product are normally ineligible for this promotion, as an exception, such customers are not excluded if their peak number of paid Dynamics 365 online full users to date does not exceed 10% of the number of full users that will be licensed at BTC3 enrollment. Thanks in advance!

Cannot sync Country when connecting greenfields D365 BC <-> Dataverse (and onto D365 Sales)
Hey, sorry for the very newbie question, but everyone has to start somewhere! I get this cryptic incantation when trying to connect an essentially greenfields D365 BC (a small bit of progress through assisted setup) and a similarly vanilla D365 Sales instance, using the very latest updates on 2025 wave 2 (like I've applied this weeks coming update and any and all of the background app updates etc afaik is totally up-to-date at 28 Sep 2025 - maybe this is new and because we're living bleeding edge, may possibly be a heads up for someone out there, I really dont know. Cannot sync Country when connecting greenfields D365 BC <-> Dataverse (and onto D365 Sales) - Business Process Error: Choice member name to[o] long. dyn365bc_countryregionaddressformat_v2_0.City_x002B_County_x002B_Post_x0020_Code_x0020__x0028_no_x0020_commax0029 When performing the Dataverse connection and trying to enable all of the available fields, the above error message appears, and no matter what the dropdown is set to, the choice in the error doesn't seem to change, in PowerApps, in Choices, is no entries for 'dyn365bc_country' (but plenty of others), has been setting up for a day and a half half sync'ed, country not published nor trying, but seemingly leaving some of the rest in limbo. I asked CoPilot, ChatGPT et al and poked around without coming up with anything, didnt pass the google test, thought maybe an MS Call, but we try not to take the mickey and at least try first

Licensing a Dataverse environment for external users
Looking for some advice and opinions please. This is for a standalone Dataverse environment. Not Dynamics 365, or Power Apps, or Power Pages. The question is about using a Dataverse environment with the native Dataverse web APIs, where a portal is developed (not Power Pages) that allows the external users to interface (read/write) data. My opinion is that because this is not Dynamics 365 and Power Pages are not being utilised to facilitate the access then there is no requirement for user (D365, Power App, or Power Pages capacity) licensing. I would still need Dataverse capacity licenses, but that is all. Appreciate any thought and insights. Thanks, Nick

Anyone have the information on Business Central pricing?
We were expecting to find the new local pricing of D365BC in the CSP preview price list of October, 2025, but there was no BC SKUs in the list. I searched for the information if the price change was postponed or cancelled but can't find any. What I can find is only the blog and the PartnerDeck/FAQ in PartnerHub announced in May, and no news since then. The local CSP support team even did not know about the price change of D365BC. Since we have several customers whose renewals are on October 1, we need to work on quotations asap. This is why, please allow me to submit this post while I am waiting for update from our PDM. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-365/blog/business-leader/2025/05/06/new-microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central-pricing-effective-october-2025/
