Dynamics Consultants Launches New Dynamics 365 Add-Ons

Dynamics Consultants has launched a suite of Dynamics 365 add-ons designed to enhance usability, strengthen control and improve insight across finance and operations. We’ve designed these apps for businesses that want greater clarity and efficiency from their ERP investment.

Dynamics 365 Business Central provides strong core functionality, but we recognise that many organisations require more tailored tools to improve reporting, productivity and operational visibility.

Here, we’ll cover our five new add-ons, their functionalities and how you can access them.

Overview of our Dynamics 365 add-ons

Our new suite of apps has been developed to extend Dynamics 365 in focused, practical ways. Each solution strengthens visibility, reporting or workflow efficiency within Business Central environments.

The apps include:

• Dynamics Center
• Dynamics Cues
• Dynamics Documents
• Dynamics Dimensions
• Dynamics MRP Express

Each app can be deployed independently, while also complementing the others within a broader Dynamics 365 ecosystem.

Dynamics Center – your everyday suite

Dynamics Center is an add-on that includes a range of different functionalities designed to support your day-to-day use of Dynamics 365 and make it more efficient and user-friendly. 

• Dynamics Factbox: use a filtered click-through to view change logs on cards.
• User Sessions: control active Business Central sessions by viewing and stopping them.
• Extension Dependency: see how apps connect with one another.
• Colour Palette: implement your own custom colour coding.
• Dynamics Support: get access to a support page, system checks and email support to fix D365 issues.
• Colour Code Journals: colour-code your journals for easy viewing.
• Run Object: test or troubleshoot any object by running it securely.
• Send Notes By E-mail: email multiple users with notes directly from Business Central records.

Dynamics Cues – create custom cues

Dynamics Cues enhances standard cue functionality within Dynamics 365 by allowing you to create your own custom cues with no code.

Improved visibility through configurable cues

Dynamics Cues allows users to create meaningful visual dashboards within their role centre. These cues highlight key metrics relevant to users’ roles, such as overdue invoices or sales this month, enabling quicker action without relying on separate reports.

Supporting performance management

By surfacing real-time indicators directly within dashboards, Dynamics Cues reduces the risk of overlooked data. Finance teams can monitor cash flow indicators while operational managers track exceptions and approvals.

Dynamics Documents – create customised documentation

Take the documents you produce within your Dynamics 365 system to the next level with customisation options available as part of Dynamics Documents.

As part of Dynamics Documents, you can:

• customise documents easily, tailoring headers, footers, fields, colours and formatting without the need for development
• access pre-designed templates for orders, quotes, invoices, statements and credit memos
• show or hide important or unimportant fields based on certain criteria that you set
• map data flexibly and select the fields that appear on individual documents without modifying your standard reports
• configure your date formats to meet audit, customer or regional requirements
• easily set up reusable templates and copy across multiple document types and layouts.

Dynamics Dimensions – deeper financial analysis and reporting

Dimensions within Business Central allow organisations to categorise transactions in detail by categorising transactions using dimensions and dimension value codes. This allows in-depth reporting across the business, allowing FDs to “slice” information and drill down into detail. 

By categorising transactions using dimension codes and values, businesses gain instant visibility across departments, cost centres, projects, regions or any structure that reflects how your organisation actually operates.

The challenge with dimensions

While dimensions are incredibly powerful, Business Central is only as powerful as the data behind it. This means that dimensions can come a with a downside:

• manual inputs
• inconsistent application
• increased admin for finance teams.

And when dimensions aren’t applied correctly, reporting quickly loses its value.

Introducing Dynamics Dimensions

Dynamics Dimensions removes the admin – and the risk – when using dimensions.

Using this app, which is fully embedded into Business Central, dimension values can be automatically applied to records and transactions, ensuring consistency from the very start.

No more relying on users to remember which dimension to apply.
No more cleaning up data after the fact.

Just accurate, structured data every time.

Further to this, on creating new dimensions, this tool allows you to create dimension values against existing records. 

Dynamics MRP Express – quickly respond to demand and supply

Business Central has a huge capability around material requirements planning to allow for even the most complex businesses. However, this means that the majority of businesses find that the planning tools are complex and difficult to use. 

MRP Express takes standard Business Central functionality and, without modifying any standard objects, focuses on the functionality most organisations actually need. Showing you exactly what to purchase, manufacture, assemble or transfer, based on real demand and supply, MRP Express makes MRP faster, easier to understand and ultimately helps to make informed decisions. 

Appsource and pricing

We are extremely proud to announce that all of these apps have been rigorously tested and approved by Microsoft to be added to its application store, Appsource. From here, you can get a free 30 day trial for all of the apps. It’s worth noting that all of the apps require Dynamics Center installed but not necessarily licensed. You can contact our admin team to order and pay for licenses and view our price list here. 

It is also worth noting that customers with all-in support contracts are entitled to Dynamics Center and Dynamics Cues free of charge.
