Solutions · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance

Take complete control of your finance function with Dynamics 365 Finance.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is the cloud ERP that Malaysian enterprises run when month-end close has to land in five days, MyInvois has to work on Day 1, and the board wants the same numbers the CFO sees. Daxonet has rolled it out for Panasonic, Novelis, Raco Industries and Sorento, with a fast-track methodology that goes live in 4 to 6 months, not 18.

Who has Daxonet already taken live on D365?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is the cloud ERP from Microsoft for multi-entity finance: general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, budgeting, fixed assets, multi-currency consolidation, and statutory reporting on one platform. For Malaysian CFOs, it is the platform that compresses month-end close from fifteen days to five, ships LHDN MyInvois e-Invoice on Day 1, embeds Microsoft Copilot AI inside finance workflows (variance explanation, AP anomaly flagging, 13-week cash-flow forecast, collection email drafts), and runs SST, MFRS and PDPA controls without spreadsheets bolted on the side. Daxonet, a Microsoft Solutions Partner with 10+ years on AX and D365 and 47 ERP rollouts across Malaysia and ASEAN, delivers Phase 1 go-live in 4 to 6 months for mid-large manufacturers, distributors and services groups, with reference rollouts at Panasonic, Novelis, Raco Industries and Sorento. Phase-1 TCO typically lands 30 to 45 percent below an equivalent SAP S/4HANA scope over five years.

The CFO reality in 2026

Why can legacy finance stacks no longer keep up with the board?

Three pressures show up on every CFO agenda we see in Malaysia. D365 Finance was built to remove them.

PRESSURE 01

Compliance moves faster than your ERP

MyInvois, MFRS updates, SST changes, transfer pricing files. Each one used to be a project. The board now expects compliance to be a feature.

PRESSURE 02

Month-end close is still a 15 day project

Your team consolidates four entities in spreadsheets, reconciles intercompany by email, and chases AP coding before journals can post. Your board wants to see the same numbers you see, on Day 1.

PRESSURE 03

AI is on the agenda, but your data is not

Group is asking for AI in finance. Your data sits across AX 2012, three accounting tools, and 40 spreadsheets. Copilot in D365 Finance gives you one place where AI has clean, governed data to work on.

What changes after go-live

Six finance outcomes that show up in the first quarter on D365.

Not feature lists. The shifts your audit committee, your CEO, and your finance team feel within 90 days of going live.

Five day month-end close

Subledger automation, intercompany matching and a real consolidation engine compress close from weeks to days.

Real-time multi-entity view

One ledger model across entities, currencies and books. Group reporting and statutory reporting from the same source.

MyInvois on Day 1

Direct LHDN integration with UIN tracking, credit and debit handling, and self-billed flows already configured.

AP that audits itself

Copilot flags duplicate invoices, anomalous vendor amounts and unusual GL coding before journals post.

13-week cash forecast on demand

Generated from open AR, AP, payroll and recurring contracts. Refreshed weekly without spreadsheet rebuilds.

Board-grade analytics

Power BI on top of D365. Same numbers you see, served to the board with drill-through to source transactions.

Group close

4 entities, one ledger

Capability 01 · Core finance

A real ledger, not a chart of accounts pretending to be one.

D365 Finance ships with multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-book accounting. Statutory and management views run on the same data. Intercompany is matched by the platform, not by your senior accountant.

✓General ledger, AP, AR, fixed assets, project accounting on one platform with one security model.
✓Multi-entity consolidation with eliminations, FX revaluation and group reporting from the same data source.
✓Tax engine that handles SST, MFRS adjustments, and statutory reporting natively for Malaysia.

Capability 02 · Compliance

Will LHDN MyInvois work the moment you go live?

No middleware bridge. No batch script that breaks at month-end. D365 posts to MyInvois via the LHDN API on invoice approval, captures the UIN, validates the response, and shows real-time status on every invoice record.

✓Standard, credit, debit, self-billed and consolidated invoice flows configured during go-live.
✓Edge cases the legacy bridges trip on: foreign customers, intercompany invoicing, self-billed.
✓PDPA-aligned controls and full audit trail on every transmission.

Copilot inside finance, not a chatbot bolted onto it.

Microsoft Copilot is embedded in D365 Finance with role-based security that respects every existing user permission. It does not replace your finance team. It removes the rote work that fills their first 10 hours each week.

FAQ

Questions Malaysian CFOs ask before signing.

What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and who is it built for?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is a cloud ERP from Microsoft for mid-large enterprises that need real-time multi-entity financial consolidation, automated compliance, and AI-assisted finance workflows. It covers general ledger, AP, AR, budgeting, fixed assets, project accounting, tax engine and statutory reporting on one platform. In Malaysia it ships with SST, MFRS and LHDN MyInvois localisation.

How long does a D365 Finance implementation take with Daxonet?

Phase 1 go-live runs 4 to 6 months for a single Malaysian entity using the Daxonet fast-track methodology. Multi-entity rollouts add waves on the same configuration template. Discover and fit-gap takes 3 to 4 weeks. Configure and migrate runs 8 to 12 weeks with two formal data-migration cycles. UAT and training takes 3 to 4 weeks across two cycles. Cutover and hypercare runs 4 weeks with parallel month-end close support. Total elapsed time is around half of what a tier-1 SAP S/4HANA project typically books.

Is D365 Finance LHDN MyInvois compliant out of the box?

Yes. Direct MyInvois API integration is built in. On invoice posting, D365 Finance submits to LHDN, validates the response, stores the Unique Identification Number, and surfaces real-time status on every invoice record. Standard, credit, debit, self-billed and consolidated e-Invoice flows are configured during go-live. The platform handles edge cases such as foreign-customer transactions, intercompany invoicing and self-billed invoices that often break workaround bridges built on top of legacy ERP.

How does D365 Finance compare to SAP S/4HANA for a Malaysian enterprise?

D365 Finance typically delivers Phase 1 go-live in 4 to 6 months versus 18 to 24 months for a tier-1 SAP S/4HANA programme. Total cost of ownership is materially lower for mid-large Malaysian enterprises because there is no infrastructure capex, the per-user subscription is predictable, and Microsoft 365 integration removes the need for a parallel productivity stack. Functional parity is strong for finance, AP, AR, fixed assets, project accounting, multi-entity consolidation and statutory reporting. SAP retains depth in heavy process manufacturing scenarios.

We are on Dynamics AX 2012. What is the migration path to D365 Finance?

Daxonet runs AX 2012 to D365 Finance migrations as a structured upgrade. The chart of accounts, dimensions, master data, open transactions and historical balances are migrated with reconciliation back to AX before go-live. Custom AX X++ code is assessed: in-platform configuration replaces most customisations; the rest is rebuilt as Power Platform extensions or Azure functions. Parallel running of AX and D365 Finance through one full month-end close is standard, so finance signs off before cutover. Mainstream support for AX 2012 has ended, so this migration also closes the security and compliance gap.

What does Microsoft Copilot do inside D365 Finance?

Copilot is embedded in D365 Finance with role-based security that respects every existing user permission. It explains budget variance in plain language by pointing to driver vendor categories and source transactions. It flags AP anomalies (duplicate invoices, out-of-pattern vendor amounts, unusual GL coding) before posting. It generates 13-week cash-flow forecasts from open AR, AP, payroll and recurring contracts. It drafts collection emails per customer based on ageing, payment history and dispute notes. It does not replace the finance team. It removes the rote work that fills their first 10 hours each week.

What is the licensing and pricing model for D365 Finance?

D365 Finance is licensed per named user on a monthly subscription. Users come in two tiers: full users (Finance app) and activity users (Team Members). Daxonet builds a TCO model before contract that includes Microsoft licensing, infrastructure (none, since it is Microsoft Cloud), implementation services, data migration, training, integration and managed services. Most Malaysian mid-large enterprises see TCO 30 to 45 percent below an equivalent SAP S/4HANA scope over 5 years.

Which Malaysian enterprises has Daxonet already implemented D365 for?

Reference customers include Panasonic, Novelis, Raco Industries and Sorento, across multi-entity manufacturing, global supply-chain finance and distribution. The Phase 1 outcome is consistent: month-end close compressed from fifteen days to five, MyInvois live on Day 1, and finance signing off the parallel close before cutover. Each reference is available for a peer call from a CFO evaluating D365 Finance, by arrangement with Daxonet. The bench has completed 47 ERP rollouts across D365, AX and Business Central in Malaysia and ASEAN, with project leadership averaging more than 10 years on the Microsoft enterprise stack.
