The Challenge
The client’s finance and management teams had access to large volumes of D365FO data, but obtaining meaningful management information required manual report preparation, Excel manipulation and reconciliation.
Leadership needed a faster way to understand:
- Revenue and profitability
- Department performance
- Customer and vendor balances
- DSO
- Cash and working capital
- Financial trends
- Intercompany positions
- Operational performance
The Magnifia Solution
Magnifia designed a reporting and analytics framework around D365FO and Power BI, transforming transactional ERP data into management-level dashboards and analytical reports. The solution included:
- Financial dashboards
- Department-wise P&L
- Customer aging
- Vendor aging
- DSO reporting
- GL and subledger reconciliation
- Intercompany reporting
- 13-month financial trends
- Management KPIs
- Drill-down analysis
Microsoft supports Power BI integration with Finance & Operations, including scenarios where users can move from analytical information toward the underlying business processes.

Finance and leadership teams can identify trends, exceptions and performance gaps more quickly.
▪ Improved Reconciliation
Reports can bring together GL, subledger and operational information to highlight discrepancies.
