United Kingdom AX

Hi,

Our users are beginning to ask about forecasting capability within AX and I wondered if anyone who is using it could provide any feedback, or if anyone opted for an external package, could advise of any recommendations

My organisation is also talking of possible migration to D365, however that wont begin until next year at the earliest, so any proposed solution would need to be compatible with both AX 2012 and D365

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Paul

No problem at all Paul. It seems as though you have a couple of options but of course it all depends on how complex the requirements are from the users. 
If you can do it in AX then great, if not do reach out to Solver if you are to go out to the market. We are the only CPM vendor that is Microsoft approved and preferred!

Insight software are doing something...I haven't looked, but the finance team  did and didn't throw the idea out...I think it was budgeting and planning they were looking at. Adaptive Insights is also interesting for them.

Hi Paul,

AX has some inbuilt capabilities for forecasting that may be a good starting point to explore.   Here is a blog post I had in my links you may find interesting.

https://rehanaqeel.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/forecasting-in-dynamics-ax-2009/

and a link to the inbuilt capabilities (or starter link to explore) to what is available in D365/AX2012

A couple links below. I did a demo on Demand forecasting in AX2012 R3 with SSAS on youtube:
Microsoft Dynamics AX Demand Forecasting - YouTube

I have a more detailed D365 version from Dynamics Con out there as well.
Farsight Solutions ISV has support for both AX2012R3 and D365FO/SCM:
