Now the question is what next?
Now a day’s multiple conflicts are going on for Dynamics AX. So let’s see what options are available for the next product.
The newest version, released in February 2016, dropped the nomenclature of year and version and was simply called AX, although was widely known as AX7. This update was a major revision with a completely new UI delivered through a browser-based HTML5 client, and initially only available as a cloud-hosted application.
This version lasted only a few months, though, as Dynamics AX was rebranded as Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations in October 2016, and once more rebranded as Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations in July 2017.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operation (AX) is released worldwide but for India it is not GST compatible. In India biggest retransformation of taxes is done and GST is Introduce by Government. Microsoft has provided GST hotfixes for AX 2009 SP1 to latest version of AX 2012 R3. For more simplicity Microsoft is working on the D365 Finance and Operation for India localization (GST Specific) and released soon. Official date is not yet declared for India but we are expecting it before end of 2017.
