Global address book
The March regular release of Dual-write GAB solution 3.5.2.52 contains the following bug fixes.
| Feature | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sales order page enhancements | Restrict the creation of ship-to and bill-to addresses by locking the address fields on the sales order page. Customers are expected to select these addresses from the existing postal address entity by using the Choose ship/bill to address lookup fields that are attached to the Order page. A new shipping/billing address can be created by using the quick create new postal address page option in the same lookup field. | General availability |
| Postal address tab on accounts and contacts pages | Add the postal address component as a new tab on the Account and contact page. The Customer address tab is kept as is. The postal address entity that's introduced in Dual-write GAB solutions has no customization restrictions. Customers can create lookups to custom entities. They can also create country/region, county, and state/province entities, implement lookup filtering, and easily validate addresses in Dataverse. Customers who want to continue to use the customer address for address input can hide the existing Address tab or the new Postal address tab. | General availability |
| Xmultiple for performance | Optimize the existing logic in Dataverse that creates customer addresses during the initial/live synchronization of customer records from postal addresses. This optimization increases the synchronization record capacity and prevents plugin time-outs, especially when a large number of addresses are associated with customers. | General availability |
| Bug fix | Enable postal address records to be created from the Postal address main page. Previously, postal addresses could be created only by using the postal address quick create page or the quick view page that's attached to the Postal address tab on the party page. | General availability |
| Enhancement | Restrict customization of Microsoft global address book (GAB) business rules to help prevent data corruption. | General availability |
| Bug fix | Fix an issue with the creation of a contact via the marketing app page. Because of a depth limitation, only the party was created. The plugin couldn't create the corresponding contact entity record. | General availability |
| Bug fix | Fix the update of postal addresses when the corresponding customer address is updated and the name is longer than 60 characters. The Postal address name field has a limit of 60 characters. This limit is now validated and truncated via GAB plugins. | General availability |

|---|---|---|
| Lead qualification process in Sales is now company striped | Dynamics 365 Sales users can create a lead, qualify the lead to an opportunity, convert an opportunity into a quote, activate a quote, and create an order. This process was broken in dual-write due to lack of company striping on the Lead entity. We implemented company striping on the Lead entity, which cascades the company to the underlying Account and Opportunity tables. Thus the application behavior is restored to support the process. During the Lead qualification process, the Contact entity isn't company striped. This design supports the Party entity model that is due in October 2020. To learn about the Party and GlobalAddressBook model for dual-write, join the dual-write Yammer group. | General availability |
| Map state transitions from Order to SalesOrder | The Order form in Dynamics 365 Sales is always set to Active. To create state transitions from Order in Dynamics 365 Sales to SalesOrder in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, we introduced the ProcessingStatus column. | General availability |
| Money to decimal data type conversion | Dataverse environments are limited to 4 decimal places for currency and 10 decimal places for exchange rates. finance and operations apps support more decimal places than Dataverse. You can now opt in to extend the decimal support in Dataverse to help ensure there's no loss of decimal place data when using dual-write. | General availability |
| Security role for company and currency exchange | Company and currency exchange tables are global in nature and all dual-write users require read access to these two tables. To simplify the experience, we've added a new security role named dual-write app user. Each dual-write user must be added to this security role. | General availability |
| Security role for setup | Adds the Dual-write Runtime User security role. This role allows nonadministrator users to create rows that are set up for dual-write. This feature is part of Dual-write core solution 10.0.21. | General availability |
| Tracing | Internal column added for use in tracing. This feature is part of Dual-write core solution 10.0.21. | General availability |

| Manage multiple table maps | As part of day-to-day operations, you might need to bulk handle table maps. For example, you might want to simultaneously enable or pause a set of table maps. Instead of doing this one-by-one, which is cumbersome and time consuming, you can now enable, pause, resume, or stop more than one table map at the same time in the dual-write list page. | General availability |

| Removal of tenant admin-level consent requirement | Until now, before you could enable dual-write, a tenant admin needed to explicitly give consent to the applications. This wasn't always practical and required more approval, which can be time consuming. With this feature, we removed this prerequisite and the need for explicitly giving consent to the applications. | General availability |
| Force unlink dual-write environment | Previously, while testing dual-write, you had to disable all the table maps before unlinking a dual-write environment, which was cumbersome and sometimes not possible if one of the environments wasn't available. This new feature provides a quick way to unlink your test and trial environments. | General availability |
