Understanding landed cost in Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management

An author from enVista writing on the ERP Software Blog stated that when you buy a product, the price on the tag almost never tells the entire story. For companies, particularly those that depend on international suppliers, the true expense of acquiring goods extends well beyond just the purchase price. They noted that businesses have to factor in shipping, customs duties, insurance, handling fees, and other hidden costs that can significantly change the bottom line. 

This complete view of expenses is called the landed cost, and in the blog post, the author explained why landed cost matters and how D365 F&SCM simplifies landed cost. The author also discussed the best practices for using the Dynamics 365 landed cost module.

Prevent customer down time through managing assets loaned to customers in Dynamics 365

On the Ellipse Solutions blog, an author wrote that if your business handles customer assets for maintenance and repair, those assets are often crucial to daily operations. Without them, customers risk downtime, lost production, and reduced revenue. However, companies can avoid this by managing loaned assets with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.
