Product Information Management User Guide: D365 F&O


Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is a huge ERP application and if you are new to the system it can be extremely daunting. This user guide covers just about every menu item link, form, and field in the Product Information Management module at the time that it was written, but it also includes a section for new users at the beginning of the user guide to orient you or your users to the system. This user guide will add value to brand new users as well as experienced users who may not understand the function of some obscure fields or buttons.

Setting up the product in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is the core setup required to begin transacting in the system. This user guide makes that task much easier.
