Trust & Control in D365 Finance: How to Validate Vendors and Reduce Payment Risk Before Release
Session Overview: In Dynamics 365 Finance, strong controls during invoice approval do not always extend to vendor setup, bank detail changes, or payment execution, where risk is often introduced. Many organizations still rely on emails, spreadsheets, and manual checks to validate vendor information, creating gaps that can lead to fraud or costly errors.
This session focuses on how D365 Finance users can strengthen trust and control across the vendor-to-payment lifecycle. Using real-world scenarios, we will walk through how risk enters during vendor onboarding, bank account updates, and payment proposal generation.
Attendees will learn practical approaches to validating vendor identity, confirming bank account ownership, and performing sanctions screening before payments are released. We will also explore how to monitor payment activity and identify unusual patterns that may indicate risk, allowing users to take action within existing F&O workflows.
This session is designed to provide actionable, user-driven guidance that can be applied immediately within D365 Finance environments.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify where risk is introduced within D365 Finance vendor and payment workflows, including vendor onboarding, bank detail changes, and payment proposal creation
- Apply validation techniques within F&O processes to confirm vendor identity, bank account ownership, and sanctions compliance before payment release
- Monitor and evaluate payment activity within F&O to detect unusual or high-risk transactions, enabling proactive intervention prior to posting or transmission
