You might be familiar with the concept of Model Context Protocol (MCP) or not. In this post, I will introduce the concept, tell you about the advantages of using MCP, and explain what settings you need to let the Copilot for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations apps (in app sidecar) successfully use the MCP servers.

As part of the upcoming license enforcement for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, the license calculation logic was completely rebuilt and now executed outside of the application. The results are brought back in new licensing-related tables. The legacy calculation logic has been deprecated, and where the outcome was used, the fields showing a particular license were removed. When the View permission page showed the license levels in the past, it was easy to find which privileges and duties as part of a security role were causing a higher license requirement than intended. Today, you can relatively easily find the securable objects that can be removed or set as read-only to lower the license requirement for a security role, but then there is no drill-down to find the related privileges and duties. In this post, I will share a trick to make you more productive.

As of September 1, the rollout will start for in-app notifications in case users do not have the proper licenses assigned. The past week, after returning from my vacation, I noticed that many clients are still not fully prepared and have various questions. However, some clients are ready from their point of view. In this post, I will share some experiences and recommendations about what I have seen and heard.

When Microsoft announced the user license enforcement, initially, a lot of partners and clients were lost. There was hardly any information available about the correct number of licenses. In between, Microsoft “changed the rules” by deprecating old license calculation logic available within the Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations application. This logic contained errors, and a new calculation was introduced, which is running in the Power Platform Admin Center, outside of Dynamics 365. The new logic contained some issues, but Microsoft is working hard to get those errors resolved. Next to solving the calculation issues, Microsoft is taking feedback using a private preview group and support. You might have noticed that filtering on PPAC wasn’t working quite well. This is something that was reported, but takes time to fix and roll out to all clients. While reviewing the V2 version of the report, I also provided an idea to improve the visibility of the new report. I’m happy that Microsoft picked up the idea, which is now available on the Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC).
