The Microsoft Dynamics AX Customer Relationship Management ([Label: @SYS80908, CRM]) module is significantly enhanced with redesigned sales quotations, sales management statistics, and Microsoft Office Outlook integration.

Three new project types have been implemented. Previously, the internal project type was applied to handle many different kinds of tasks. In Microsoft Dynamics AX, some internal projects can now be handled with the three new project types.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 provides enhanced functionality for subcontracting. Shipping documents for raw materials and work descriptions (that specify the operation and route) for the subcontractor are attached to the purchase order, transfer order, or production order.

The Product Builder module of Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 has been enhanced. These enhancements include graphics for configurable items, a new validation rule system, and a wizard for product model creation.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 provides enhanced functionality in the master schedule calculation. Dynamic negative days, a new parameter, takes into account the remaining item lead time, which improves accuracy in determining whether to fulfill a requirement by using an existing planned order or by generating a new planned order.

Handling of transfer orders is greatly enhanced in Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0. With the introduction of the transit warehouse and the concept of transit time, employees are better equipped to coordinate the logistics for outbound and inbound items, and therefore more tightly control supply.
