Difference Between AX 2012 and AX 2012 R2 Or Changes In AX 2012 R2

 Hi there,


Today while going through a document regarding AX 2012 R2 changes i have noted few points which are not there in AX 2012…Lets see some differences where AX 2012 are not involved.


1)Data partitioning


Data partitions provide a logical separation of data in the Microsoft Dynamics AX database. To achieve this separation, Microsoft Dynamics AX adds a column to each table that contains data that must be isolated. This column contains a partition ID, which is the RecId of an entry in the Partitions table. In a partitioned table, rows that contain the same partition ID value belong to the same partition. The partition ID is also added to relevant indexes.

Partitions are defined in the Partitions form, where the system administrator creates the partition and provides a partition key. A partition key identifies a partition by using a unique string value that the system administrator specifies. When Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 is installed, the setup always creates a single, default partition. This partition is identified by the partition key “Initial.” The partition key is displayed in the title bar of the client application. Additional partitions can also be defined during installation and upgrade.


2)Budget planning


Budget planning is the process of preparing the budgets that will be adopted by an organization. Private sector and public sector organizations can configure budget planning and set up their own budget planning processes that are secure, flexible, and easy to use. With budget planning you can:


 Associate budget planning processes with budget cycles, ledgers, and organization hierarchies.

 Analyze and update budget plans by using multiple scenarios, and then automatically route the budget plans together with worksheets, justifications, and attachments for reviews and approvals.

Consolidate multiple budget plans at one level of the organization into a single parent budget plan at a higher level in the organization. You can also develop a single budget plan at a high level in the organization and allocate the budget to lower levels of the organization.

3)Payroll


Payroll processing has been redesigned to provide a more consistent user interface with simplified setup and data entry.


4)Purchase and sales fiscal document manual entry


In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, manual entries for purchase and sales fiscal documents were added for fixed assets that were purchased prior to the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Manual entry fields were also added for fixed asset sales that were not generated by using a free text invoice. The information in these fields was used in the fiscal book integration for CIAP. The fields that allowed the manual entry were removed in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.


5)Accounting period name


In the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 SP1 GLSCON release, the Accounting period table provides an Accounting period name field. This field is a country-specific feature provided for Chinese installations, and its values are not required to be unique in a fiscal year. In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, the Accounting period name field is included in the Accounting table, eliminating the need for a country-specific modification.


6)Bank reconciliation


For Chinese installation, the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 SP1 GLSCON release provides country-specific features that import electronic bank statement files into the reconciliation journal, and that perform basic auto matching between the statement and Microsoft Dynamics AX bank records. The bank reconciliation features in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 provide this functionality, eliminating the need for country-specific modifications.


7)Country-specific localization format for Contact name


In the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 SP1 GLS Consolidation release, users can set up the Contact field by using a name format of “Last name + First name”, which is a country-specific feature for Chinese installations. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 supports several new name formats, including the “Last name + First name” format.


8)GB/T19581 export accounting data standard


The Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 SP1 GLSCON release provides a function that can export the ledger transaction data and financial statements data of a specified fiscal period into an XML file. The schema for the XML is defined in the Chinese national standard GB/T19581 Accounting software data exchange interface. In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, this feature is replaced with the new national standard GB/T24589.


9)Eastern European EU sales list reports


For Eastern European installations, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 provides country/region-specific functionality that supports local implementations of EU sales list reports. All companies across the 27 EU member states must report an EU sales list with the sales (and some purchases) of goods and services to VAT-registered entities in other EU member states.


10)Import bank account statements


For Hungarian installations, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 provides country-specific functionality that allows users to import bank account statements in MT940.


11)Per invoice option in miscellaneous charges allocation


In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, the Per invoice option for charges in the Allocate miscellaneous charges form, on the Purchase order form header and on the Purchase invoice form header, allowed the charge to be kept on the header level, despite allocation for any subsequent invoices.


12)Miscellaneous charge load on inventory percentage


Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 supports posting a partial amount (as a set percentage) of a miscellaneous charge to inventory. The remaining miscellaneous charge is charged to the vendor or customer.


13)Removal of ’Exceed threshold limit’ from Direct Tax parameters


In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, a country-specific setup for India in General ledger parameters allowed users to configure the expected system behavior when the Direct Tax (TDS/TCS) threshold was exceeded for the first time. The user could configure the system to have no response, issue a warning, or issue an error that prevented further progress.
