Data Model, the data model defines the structure and the hierarchy through which data is available in the designer for the format mapping.When the repository has opened you will see different configuration types in a tree-like hierarchy. To import from a repository, you can press Open to view the available configurations. In general, use the LCS repository in the configuration provider unless another repository is specifically required. In this RCS environment configurations can be created, and these can be imported into the regular environment. This configuration provider is linked to an RCS environment, which is a trimmed down D365FO environment. RCS, RCS stands for regulatory configuration services and is mandatory for certain countries (mainly India).If set up like this, this repository will retrieve all configurations present in the Asset Library of said LCS project. Others, when configuring this repository for a non-Microsoft configuration provider then you must link an LCS project to this repository.Microsoft, when configuring this repository for the Microsoft configuration provider this repository will retrieve all the configurations present in the Shared asset library on LCS.LCS, LCS stands for life cycle services and this repository acts different based on the configuration provider:.This repository mostly has version 1 of each configuration and in general, it is not recommended to use this repository. This repository points to the internally present configurations in D365FO. Operation resources, when initially setting up an environment this repository is present by default.вЂ‹A configuration provider can have 3 types of repositories: Electronic Reporting types of repositories A repository is a storage location that can be used as a source for Electronic reporting configurations. configuration providerДЄ configuration can be directly imported from a file or it can be imported from a repository. The configuration provider is present by default. The configuration provider is the owner of the ERC and is the party authorized to make changes to the configuration. Configuration providers and their repositoriesДЄt the basis of each ERC is a configuration provider. This means that no coding is required for making Electronic Reporting Configurations (ERC) and with training, everyone can create the documents. The target audience of this tool is not a developer, but a business user or a consultant. The explanation given by Microsoft on ER is: Electronic reporting explanation Microsoft This functionality will even be extended by Microsoft to have configurable business documents at later stages as well. 6 Conclusion What is Electronic ReportingД®lectronic Reporting (ER), also called Generic Electronic Reporting (GER), is a tool created by Microsoft in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (D365FO) to facilitate the translation from business data to business documents.
