New functionality

Financial dimensions let you categorize transactions in the general ledger by department, cost center, and other user-defined categories. You can view financial dimensions and other details in the new subledger journal before you post transactions from source documents. You can also set up budget controls for advance reports.

Improved inventory features let you set up a default profile for retail product sales.

Enter details for contracts by using a sales agreement form and a purchase agreement form. You can specify a sales agreement in a customer transaction, such as a customer settlement. You can also specify a purchase agreement for a vendor transaction.

Several changes to customer invoices and vendor invoices, and to the invoice process, let you define the details to post for invoice transactions. You can add lines for categories and expenses that are not associated with purchase orders and sales orders, and allocate order lines to multiple dimensions and ledger accounts. You can also adjust taxes on invoice lines before you post an invoice.

You have more flexibility when you must create, correct, and report factures and any related value-added tax (VAT). You can also set up parameters to automatically update a facture for a retail sales invoice.

By using a new inventory balance turnover report, you can analyze inventory transactions by customer and by vendor.

Additional features

For more information about additional country-specific features that we added for Russia, see the tables that apply to your version of the product.

What’s new in AX 2012 R2

What’s new	Description
Data-type tax transactions in the Financial reports generator	Companies that pay the VAT amount at a rate of 0 (zero) percent must complete all sections of the VAT declaration report that are related to export operations. These companies must then submit the report to the sales tax authorities no later than the twentieth day of the month after the close of the tax period. To comply with this requirement, Microsoft Dynamics AX has incorporated additional sections into the layout of the VAT declaration report to calculate the VAT amount. For export operations, you can print the VAT declaration report for all sections. The information that is available for each section is grouped by operation code. Entries from an operation code list that is controlled by the tax authority are defined for each section, based on column positions. For more information about the VAT declaration report, see (RUS) Incoming and outgoing VAT data on the VAT declaration report.
Calculate cost for work in process (WIP) and finished goods.	In accordance with Russian legislation, companies must calculate the cost of WIP at the end of each reporting period. The production order cost is distributed among WIP, by-products, defective products, and finished goods. You can perform the following tasks: Use the by-product journal to register by-products and defective products that are generated under a production order. Create and post storno transactions to the general ledger when the status of a production order is updated and its cost is calculated. Calculate the cost of a production order by using either the normative method, in which the WIP and by-product costs are calculated by using per-operation standard costs, or the proportional allocation method, in which the WIP and by-product costs are calculated by using actual costs. For more information about cost calculations, see (RUS) Calculating costs for WIP and finished goods.
Process incoming VAT, and calculate exchange adjustments.	You can split all the lines for selected factures by using a template when you process incoming VAT. You can also copy the exchange rate of the original invoice to the relevant credit note to avoid exchange adjustment calculation during invoice and credit note settlements. You can process the incoming VAT when a facture is created. The facture is recorded in the Incoming VAT processing log form.
Bank and address information for payments to foreign bank accounts	Payments that are made to vendors by using payment orders or payment requests must include additional information about the vendor bank account if the vendor uses a foreign bank to receive payments. This information can include the bank code, the bank name, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) code of the foreign bank, the foreign bank account number of the vendor, and the address of the payer. For more information, see (RUS) Set up an intermediate bank account for a foreign vendor. When you make payments to the foreign bank account of a vendor, the vendor must register a bank account with a Russian bank. This bank account can be assigned as an intermediate bank account between the payer and the vendor. You can generate a payment order for the payments, and then enter the details of the vendor bank account and the vendor account that the payments are made to. For more information, see (RUS) Set up an intermediate bank account for a foreign vendor. For transactions that involve payment returns to a foreign customer, you can set up a customer bank account to receive the returned payments, and then generate a customer payment order that includes the bank and address of the payer. For more information, see (RUS) Set up a foreign bank.
Storno transactions in transfer orders	You can use storno transactions to post corrections in transfer orders that are made by using shipments and receipt orders. You can also use storno transactions for the following kinds of corrections: Correct errors that are made during processing of shipments or receipt orders Correct transactions that involve goods that were shipped from the source warehouse and later returned For more information about how to post a storno transaction in a transfer order, see (RUS) Create and post a storno transfer journal.
Cancel free text invoices without creating corrective invoices.	You can choose not to generate corrected free text invoices when you cancel incorrect invoices that were previously posted. A canceling invoice is created that has a negative amount that equals the amount of the original posted invoice.
Updates to purchase order and sales order reports, and to the allocation of miscellaneous charges for category-based order lines	You can allocate miscellaneous charges from a purchase order header to a category-based purchase order line, based on the weight or volume information on the lines. You can also print the weight and volume information for the category-based order lines in the following reports: TORG-1 TORG-12 Bill of lading 1-T For more information about how to allocate charges, see (RUS) Allocate charges according to weight and volume of goods.
Updates to currency valuation	The following updates have been made to currency valuation: You can enter currency valuation accounts and tax dimensions for the accounting currency in the Currency parameters form, and for specified currencies in the Currency revaluation accounts form. The periodic exchange adjustment of advance holders considers the unrealized profit and loss that is specified on the Advance holders tab.
Changes to the status of company bank accounts for the Russian Federation	The status of a company's bank account determines the bank account's reconciliation, transaction posting, and statement generation processes. The status of a bank account can be inactive for all transactions or only for new transactions that are created after the account is inactivated. When the status of the bank account is inactive for all transactions, you cannot post any outgoing or incoming payments and payment receipt transactions. If the status is inactive for new transactions, you cannot post incoming payments, but you can post outgoing payments for transactions that were posted when the account was active. You cannot change the bank account status to inactive if the account has any vendor transactions that are open. You cannot use the Transit account option to change the date of a posted transaction when you reconcile a bank account that is inactive. You cannot generate incoming or outgoing transaction statements for bank accounts that are inactive. For more information about the status of a bank account, see (RUS) Changes to company bank accounts.
New requirements for bank payment orders	In accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, changes have been made to the printed form of bank payment orders. A bank payment order that is printed for a customer that is associated with a customs authority also contains the customs authority code. For more information about the changes, see (RUS) Generate a bank payment order for a customs authority.
Non-recoverable VAT amounts as part of the budget	Materials and fixed assets that are acceptable as deductions and used in VAT-free activities are subject to VAT amount restoration. A company that conducts operations that are subject to VAT, and that are tax exempt, can deduct all incoming VAT amounts if the company’s share of expenses on tax-exempt operations is not more than 5 percent of the total production cost. The VAT amount that is deducted on goods, materials, or fixed assets that are not subject to VAT can be recovered or restored by exporting the shipment of goods, and by using fixed assets in export production. VAT amounts can also be restored for the following transactions: Write-off of a fixed asset. Disposal because of fire. Transfer to authorized capital. The cost of goods, such as work or services, can be calculated by including or excluding VAT, depending on the revenue calculation method for the VAT amount restoration. Uwaga The amount that is specified during realization on export transactions excludes VAT. The restored VAT amount can be canceled for the current period. The restored VAT processing and cancellation log is displayed in the VAT processing log form. During confirmation of the export process, any VAT amounts that were restored earlier can be reimbursed. Companies can reimburse a VAT amount on export factures under these conditions: Confirmation on export factures was not received in time. Confirmation on export factures was not received, and the confirmation term has expired in the current period. For more information about VAT recovery, see (RUS) Calculate restored VAT and revenue amounts.
Detailed balance turnover report for Russia	You can view detailed balances for settled transactions in balance turnover reports in both Accounts receivable and Accounts payable. From the Inventory balance turnover form, you can generate balance turnover details for customers and vendors, general ledger accounts, and contracts for settled transactions. You can generate balance turnover statements that have collapsed balance output, expanded balance output, or both collapsed and expanded balance output. Collapsed balance output displays a summarized report of the customer or vendor balance turnovers. Expanded balance output displays complete details of the customer or vendor balance turnovers. For more information about the balance turnover report, see (RUS) Generate the inventory balance turnover report.
Corrective and revised factures	You can create and print corrective and revised factures that are based on credit notes, corrective invoices, and tax correction transactions. You can also revise either the lines or header of an existing facture. All the corrections and revisions of a facture are made in a specific order. You can view the details of the changes and the interim state of the facture. You can also print the following documents in an updated report format: Original facture Corrective facture Revised facture Sales book Purchase book Facture register For more information about how to create and print factures, see (RUS) Create and print factures for VAT deductions.
Multiple worker table numbers for an advance holder	The personnel number is a unique code that is used to identify a worker. A worker can be an employee or a contractor. An employee or a contractor, in turn, can also be an advance holder. A worker can hold several positions in the organization. Transactions can be posted by using advance holder accounts. To manage and track these transactions, you can define a worker table number for each position that a worker holds. You can define multiple worker table numbers for the personnel number of a worker.
Bonus depreciation for fixed assets after major repairs	In accordance with Russian regulations, when major repair work is performed on a fixed asset, bonus depreciation applies to the asset on or after the date of the major repair transaction. You can create a major repair transaction for a fixed asset, and specify the bonus depreciation and bonus start date. The start date of the bonus depreciation can be the same as the major repair transaction date or the next depreciation date. For more information about bonus depreciation for fixed assets, see (RUS) About bonus depreciation for fixed assets after major repairs. For more information about how to calculate bonus depreciation, see (RUS) Calculate a bonus depreciation.
Adjust taxes on an invoice line.	You can adjust the calculated taxes on an invoice line before posting.
Post storno transactions for adjustments to the inventory cost value.	You can post storno transactions for adjustments to the inventory cost value that are created during inventory closing. When you close the inventory, you can also post the minimum inventory cost adjustments to rounding-off accounts instead of profit and loss accounts.
Receipt deferral transactions and updates to the manual write-off method for deferrals	By using the manual write-off method for deferrals, you can now specify a write-off amount or percentage in the Writing off methods form. For deferrals that have a status of Scheduled, you can set the Transaction type field to Receipt to create transactions in a deferral journal.
Calculation of customs payments	Russian organizations must calculate customs payments for any foreign trade activity. You can now create and post a customs journal to calculate payments for customs clearance of imported or exported goods. A customs payment includes the calculated customs duties and taxes that are levied on the goods that are involved in foreign trade. Customs payments are calculated and paid to the customs authority on the basis of Customs Nomenclature Code of the Foreign Economic Activity (TN VED) codes. TN VED codes are customs codes that are used for foreign trade. These codes include all details of the imported or exported goods. You can perform the following tasks: Post the liability of the customs authority or the customs broker. Revalue the cost price of import goods. Account for customs cargo declarations (GTDs) as inventory dimensions. Include GTDs and customs value correction (KTS) in purchase books. Account for transfers of property ownership. For more information about how to set up customs payments, see (RUS) Set up a charges code for customs payments.
Sort inventory adjustments and inventory settlements by charges code.	You can sort inventory adjustments and inventory settlements by charges code. Cost adjustments and settlements that are made for an item are sorted by charges code and saved during inventory closing. You can also view the structure of the charges that are accrued by item, receipt cost, types of charges that are adjusted to the purchase invoice, and cost adjustments in inventory transactions.
Create inventory profiles to determine the movement of items and balance turnover.	An inventory profile is used to track and report the movement of items and the accounting of on-hand inventory quantities, based on the types of activity that the company engages in. Because the general ledger transactions that correspond to inventory movements depend on the inventory profiles, you can ascertain the balance turnover of inventory and financial accounting by the types of activity. For more information about how to set up an inventory profile, see (RUS) Set up an inventory profile. The movements and on-hand quantities of a particular item that has various inventory profiles or types of activity are tracked by using inventory dimensions in inventory accounting and general ledger accounts in financial accounting.
Transfer proprietary rights for goods that are in transit.	When you ship goods to a customer and post a sales invoice for the shipment, the ownership (proprietary rights) of the goods is transferred to the customer. If, for some reason, such as the terms of a trade agreement, the proprietary rights cannot be transferred on the date of shipment, you can indicate this fact in the sales invoice. The customer becomes liable for the goods only when ownership is transferred. If the transfer is delayed, you remain responsible for calculating and paying sales tax at the time of shipment, in accordance with Russian legislation. Russian law requires that you calculate and pay sales tax on goods that are shipped to a customer, and that you register goods that are in transit in a specific general ledger account. You can perform the following tasks when the transfer of proprietary rights is delayed: Create a sales invoice that indicates the delayed property transfer. Calculate the sales tax that is payable for the shipped goods. Store the shipped goods in a transit warehouse for the customer, pending delayed property transfer. Register a transfer of proprietary rights. Set up and allocate miscellaneous charges that are associated with the shipment and transfer. You can reverse a shipment until the ownership is transferred to a customer. When you reverse a shipment, the goods are returned to the warehouse, and the sales invoice is canceled. You can also set up revenue, consumption, and transit general ledger accounts to post miscellaneous sales charges for the shipped goods. You can also allocate and post miscellaneous charges for a sales invoice. For more information, see (RUS) Set up the posting type and number sequences to transfer proprietary rights.
TORG-12 and M-15 invoice formats for Russia	Customer invoices and vendor invoices can be posted and printed in the TORG-12 and M-15 formats. You can use the TORG-12 format for invoices to confirm sales and the delivery of goods to a customer. You can use the M-15 format for invoices for non-sales agreements. After posting, you can print the invoices in Microsoft Excel. For more information about the TORG-12 report, see (RUS) Print the TORG-12 report.
Allocate miscellaneous charges.	You can select an expense invoice to allocate miscellaneous charges to other invoices that have the same vendor account.
Updates to purchase invoices	You can create a new invoice, define the invoice account, and select the open purchase orders and purchase lines to invoice together. You can group invoices by using a common code. If one invoice in the payment group is settled, the other invoices in the group are included in the same settlement. You can update and post invoices that are grouped together. For more information about how to set up an allocation, see (RUS) Create and post a vendor invoice to allocate charges. For Russia, you can create invoices by selecting open purchase orders and purchase lines when you update the facture from the Purchase order form. You can filter purchase lines by the kind of activity and the posting profile. Only purchase lines that have the same kind of activity and posting profile can be grouped. You can verify these invoices and then post them together.
Calculation of depreciation and fixed asset tax registers for vehicles and realty	Fixed assets, such as vehicles and realty, can be depreciated beginning on the date when they are registered. You can also calculate the values in assessed tax and transport tax registers, based on the fixed asset registration date and the date when the asset was removed from the register. For more information, see (RUS) Set up fixed asset parameters for vehicles and realty. You can specify the registration date for assets of the Vehicle and Realty types in the Date of the registration field in the Fixed assets form. Vehicles are included in the transport tax register beginning on their registration date and remain in the register until they are removed from it. Fixed assets of both types are included in the assessed tax register beginning on their registration date. For more information, see (RUS) Set up the depreciation starting date for vehicles and realty.
Retrieve purchase orders or product receipts in the Update facture form.	You can retrieve information about purchase orders or product receipts from the vendor invoice form. For Russia, you can now also retrieve this information from the Update facture form, which is based on the Posting invoice for payment form. You can view and select the purchase order lines that have the same posting profiles, the same kind of activity, and the same contract group values from the Update facture form by using the retrieve purchase orders or retrieve product receipts during invoice posting. You can also view and select the purchase order lines that have the same posting profiles and the same kind of activity, but that have no contract group values, by using the retrieve purchase orders or retrieve product receipts during invoice posting. For more information, see (RUS) Update facture (form).
Inventory adjustments that use offset accounts and storno transactions	When you post inventory adjustments, you can specify an offset account to record the monetary details of adjustment postings. You can also post negative adjustments by using storno transactions. You can specify an adjustment calculation method to calculate the total adjustment amount and then specify a ledger account to record the total adjustment amount.
Enhancements to the inventory management process for Russia	In Microsoft Dynamics AX, enhancements to the inventory management process include the following requirements for Russia: Use the GTD number or Owner inventory dimension as a picking dimension value in the Inventory picking form. Print the details of the GTD number, Inventory profile, or Owner inventory dimension on the kanban card and in the Lean picking list. Post storno general ledger transactions for miscellaneous charge adjustments and purchase overheads to reconcile the general ledger entries with the inventory. Identify inventory postings that are not posted to the ledger in the dual warehouse posting layer. Post the purchase/production indirect costs in the dual warehouse posting layer to reconcile the general ledger with the inventory. Post by-product receipts from production orders in the dual warehouse posting layer to reconcile the general ledger with the inventory. View inventory settlements in a secondary currency by using the Cost explorer form. Post project inventory transaction adjustments in the dual warehouse posting layer to reconcile the general ledger with inventory. Use unlimited financial dimensions in all forms and reports in the SCM area. Enable inventory dimension inheritance in inventory transfers for all tracking inventory dimensions. Restrict calculations of purchase overhead for purchase receipts that have specific values for the Inventory profile inventory dimension. The Inventory turnover inquiry also uses unlimited financial dimensions. For more information about inventory management, see (RUS) Working with Inventory and warehouse management.
Updates to the calculation of write-off time for deferrals	In accordance with Russian legislation, the write-off time for deferrals must be calculated by using the factor that is used during the fixed asset depreciation. When you create a transaction for partial write-off or disposal of a fixed asset, if the transaction causes a loss, the transaction details are posted to a deferral account. This account contains the calculated value of the loss and the write-off time. The write-off time is calculated by using the useful life of the depreciated asset, the actual period of use before the asset’s disposal, and the fixed asset depreciation factor. For more information, see (RUS) Factors for deferrals writing off (form).
Accounting for working clothes, special rigging, and not valuable fixed assets (NVFAs)	You can account for the following items: Working clothes and special rigging assets – You can create a Working clothes or Special rigging issue card for working clothes and special rigging assets that are issued to employees. The useful life cycle period for a working clothes item or special rigging item begins when the item is written off from a warehouse and issued to an employee, and ends after the specified period of use for that item. The useful lifetime for each item is specified in months. NVFAs – If the purchase price of a fixed asset is less than the value that is specified in the Max cost of the NVFA field in the Fixed asset parameters form, the item is considered an NVFA. You cannot specify a fixed asset inventory number for this kind of item in the Purchase order form. You cannot register an NVFA in the Not valuable FAs form until the purchase order process is completed. Depreciation is calculated for each not valuable and high-wearing item. For more information about how to account for working clothes, special rigging, and NVFAs, see (RUS) About NVFAs, working clothes, and special rigging accounting.
Set up and copy financial report layouts by using the Financial reports generator for Russia	You can set up financial report layouts by using the Financial reports generator, and you can copy the report layout settings of one legal entity to another. You can also set up multiple report layouts and generate financial reports that are based on the specified report layouts. For more information about how to set up reports, see (RUS) Setting up the Financial reports generator.
Vendor invoices that are not associated with a purchase order and recurring invoices	You can create vendor invoices that are not associated with a purchase order. The invoice and invoice lines are included in the associated facture, and the following information is updated for each invoice line: The invoice amount can be split in incoming VAT processing. If the invoice account is inherited, the exchange adjustments for the invoice line are created by using the corresponding account. If the invoice account is inherited, the advance adjustments for the invoice line are created by using the corresponding account. The amounts on the line are posted to the general ledger by using the posting profile that is used in the invoice. You can also print a recurring invoice and create a facture. The facture for customers and vendors is created when the invoice is posted and after invoice posting. For more information, see (RUS) Creating an invoice that is not related to a purchase order.
Changes to the calculation of amount differences and exchange adjustments for prepayments	In accordance with Russian legislation for tax accounting, if a vendor makes prepayments, you must not calculate the exchange adjustment for those prepayments in tax accounting registers. You can specify whether to calculate the amount difference for the prepayments in the tax accounting registers.
Distribution of subledger lines	Subledger journal lines are accounting entries that are posted to the general ledger by using the General journal. You can generate subledgers from source documents such as invoices, packing slips, and picking lists for customers and vendors. Before you post the voucher information to the general ledger, you can view or edit subledger journals by using a new method that is named distribution. This method lets you allocate posting amounts among multiple financial dimensions, and change the default ledger account number or financial dimension values based on user permissions. In Russia, an advance report is used to report travel expenses that an employee incurs during a business trip. You can distribute the expense amount among various ledger dimensions. You can view the ledger entries and verify the distribution of the expense amount. For more information about subledger journals, see (RUS) About accounting distributions and subledger journals.
Import currency exchange rates from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (CBRF) website.	You can import currency exchange rates from the CBRF website into Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. You can import these rates to meet a specific and immediate requirement, or you can periodically import the rates as a batch. You can also set up the coefficient factors that are used when currency exchange rates are imported. For more information, see (RUS) Import exchange rates from the CBRF website.
Post invoices based on packing slips.	The invoices and factures for a purchase order or a sales order can be posted at the same time. For more information, see (RUS) Update factures and post invoices for open purchase orders.
Non-linear depreciation	You can use non-linear depreciation to mark accrued depreciation for the previous year for taxation purposes. Monthly depreciation is calculated as follows: Remaining value of the asset * Depreciation rate For more information, see (RUS) Linear and non-linear depreciation methods and (RUS) Set up depreciation methods.
Bailment process and calculation of storage service amounts	Bailment is the act of transferring items to a company or individual for storage. The company or individual that owns the items is the bailor, and the company or individual that stores the items in warehouses is the bailee. During the bailment process, proprietary rights for the items are not transferred from the bailor to the bailee. Therefore, the bailee must track and manage these items in a separate account. After a period that the bailor and bailee agree on, the bailee returns the items to the bailor and charges a storage service amount. In accordance with Russian legislation, bailees must generate the following reports when they store a bailor's items: Acceptance report in storage (MX-1) Counting list (INV-5) report Return report from storage (MX-3) You can generate these reports as Excel worksheets. You can also set up search priorities and methods to calculate the storage service amount for the items that are stored in a warehouse.

What’s new	Description
Process gift card operations as prepayments.	You can set up AX 2012 R3 for Retail to process gift card operations as prepayment transactions. You can set up a default gift card customer in AX 2012 R3. When you issue a gift card or add money to a gift card at the point of sale (POS), an additional value-added tax (VAT) amount is calculated for the prepayment amount that is associated with the gift card operation. The additional VAT amount is printed on the fiscal receipt. When the retail transaction data is transferred to AX 2012 R3, a prepayment is generated for each gift card operation that includes the VAT amount for the prepayment that was calculated by the fiscal printer. The liability of this prepayment transaction is associated with the default gift card customer account that you set up. When you register a purchase that a customer pays for by using a gift card at the POS, the liability for the items that are paid for by using the gift card is associated with the default gift card customer. The liability is settled against the prepayment transactions that were previously registered for the same gift card. Depending on the settings in the fiscal printer configuration file, a payment that is made by using a gift card can be treated as a regular payment or a cash discount on a fiscal receipt. When you register a return transaction for items that a customer paid for by using a gift card, the refund amount is added to an existing gift card, or a new gift card is issued and refunded in the same return transaction.
