In this chapter, we discussed the introduction of ERP and its main characteristics of modules integration, with general ledger (it will be covered in detail in the next chapters), and then discussed posting types in Microsoft Dynamics AX. We also explored the ERP implementation team and the role of the application consultant in the implementation project. Then, we covered ERP reporting levels and needs, after which we moved on to Microsoft Dynamics Implementation Methodology Sure Step and LCS, and explored the interface of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

In the next chapter, we will cover the general ledger, the types of main accounts, classifications, and control points. We will also explore the practices in the financial implementations of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
