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.

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:
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:
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:
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:
|
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:
注意 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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
|
Set up and copy financial report layouts by using the Financial reports generator for Russia |

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:
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:
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. For more information, see (RUS) Calculation of the storage service amount for items. |
Generate and print a transportation invoice and a job ticket, based on a bill of lading. |
You can generate and print a transportation invoice and a job ticket for a document, such as a sales order or transfer order that is created for an automobile carrier. For more information, see (RUS) About transportation invoices and job tickets that are based on bills of lading. |
Ledger correspondence for Russia |
All general ledger postings for Russia are made under the correspondence rule, where a one-to-one relationship is established between a debit transaction and a credit transaction. Correspondence of ledger transactions is enabled for purchase overheads and for all general ledger postings in Lean manufacturing. For more information, see (RUS) About Correspondence. |
Exchange adjustment and profit/loss calculation on the Remittance en route account |
When a company sells or transfers rubles, the Federal Bank exchange rate can change during the transaction process if the transaction occurs on multiple dates. In this case, you must calculate the exchange adjustment for the Remittance en route account. If the bank exchange rate does not equal the Federal Bank exchange rate for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency, a profit or loss transaction is created. You can start and generate payments for a conversion (purchase or sale) or transfer transactions for foreign currency from Accounts payable. When you create a conversion or transfer transactions, an exchange adjustment is calculated for the Remittance en route account, and the profit or loss is calculated. For more information, see (RUS) Create profit or loss transactions for a currency conversion or transfer and exchange adjustment. |
Advance adjustment for advance holders |
Exchange adjustments on advance payments that were issued or received in currency no longer have to be calculated in business accounting. When you settle advance payments and advance reports, the advance adjustment transaction is created as a continuation of the advance report, based on the setup in the General ledger parameters form and the Advance adjustment parameters form. The advance adjustment transaction is displayed in the Advance holder transactions form. The amounts on the advance report are based on the exchange rate on the advance payment date, not the posting date. For more information, see (RUS) Set up general ledger parameters for exchange adjustment and (RUS) Set up advance adjustment parameters for advance holders. |
Fixed asset transfers for Russia |
By using the transfer history process for fixed assets that belong to Russian legal entities, you can perform the following tasks:
|

For more information, see (RUS) Create and post a storno transfer journal. |
Tax rate enhancements for Russia |
You can enter tax rates that contain five decimal places to calculate the sales tax amount. In accordance with Russian legislation, when you print the facture and invoice report, the tax rate must be included. On the report, the tax rate that is displayed includes only the significant digits. |
VAT deduction for deferrals |
The VAT deduction for deferrals lets you calculate VAT refunds in proportion to the deferral amount for factures that are related to the purchase of services, operational equipment, or other commodities that are accounted as deferrals. You can use the General ledger parameters form and the Accounts payable parameters form to activate the VAT deduction for deferrals. You must select the Group by lot ID parameter in the Accounts payable parameters form. If you set the VAT offset method for deferrals parameter in the General ledger parameters form to Proportionate, the VAT refund is calculated in proportion to the deferral amount. You must also create deferrals by using the Deferrals creating form. For each deferral, you must specify the proportionate VAT offset method in the Deferrals form. At the end of each tax reporting period, you must close the VAT that is received during that period by using the Incoming VAT processing process in the purchase book. When you process incoming VAT for the write-off or disposal of deferrals, you can select the factures, and verify the blocked and unblocked facture VAT amounts that are calculated. The written-off amount is unblocked and can be posted. The remaining facture amount is blocked, and its posting is postponed. If you have disposed of or written off a deferral, you can reverse the transaction in the general journal to cancel the write-off or disposal if you have not yet closed the purchase book for the appropriate period. |

Defective products can either be sent to inventory for rework or written off to inventory losses as scrap. You can perform the following tasks:
|
Track inventory balance turnover. |
You can run the Inventory balance turnover report to verify the quantity, income, consumption, and stock balance in warehouses, based on dimensions such as sites, warehouses, ledger accounts, or financial dimensions. You can generate this report periodically, such as at the end of the financial period, before inventory cost recalculation, or before inventory closing. You can also generate the report by using inventory transactions that have a status of Purchased, Received, Sold, or Issued. The item total is the total amount of inventory transactions and inventory transaction adjustments for all warehouses for that item during the specified period. |
Generate the VAT declaration report in .xls and .xml formats. |
In accordance with Russian legislation, several sections on the VAT declaration report have been updated. Companies must generate the VAT declaration report in the updated format and submit the report to the sales tax authorities. The VAT declaration report can be generated in both .xls and .xml formats. |

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. For more information, see the following topics: |
