Faerûn has several local nuances that we will need to support in order to get everything up and running smoothly for the Waterdeep Trading Company, including address information for the region, and the tracking of the Faerûn currencies of gold, silver, copper, electrum and platinum denominations. Not to mention the numerous local languages that need to be supported. Unfortunately, Faerûn is not one of the officially supported regions for Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Although we have submitted numerous support requests for a localization pack to be officially delivered for Faerûn since we think that it is an up and coming marketplace, we have not seen any official roadmaps where this is a planned deliverable. www.dynamicscompanions.com Dynamics Companions

Preface I have been reviving an old project that started a while ago and has started up a new project blog to track the progress. Being a lifelong fan of Dungeons & Dragons, with the unfortunate problem that I cannot find anyone to play with I have decided to create a test implementation Dynamics 365 in the AD&D format just to see how it would work and if I can find some creative ways to use Dynamics 365 and chose to implement the Waterdeep Trading Company as an example where I can track their many legal (and not so legal) entities within Faerûn.

Advanced Dungeons and Dynamics 365 Implementation Guide Configuring the Localizations for Faerûn
Introduction Faerûn has several local nuances that we will need to support in order to get everything up and running smoothly for the Waterdeep Trading Company, including address information for the region, and the tracking of the Faerûn currencies of gold, silver, copper, electrum and platinum denominations. Not to mention the numerous local languages that need to be supported. Unfortunately, Faerûn is not one of the officially supported regions for Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Although we have submitted numerous support requests for a localization pack to be officially delivered for Faerûn since we think that it is an up and coming marketplace, we have not seen any official roadmaps where this is a planned deliverable. Don’t worry though; we will show you how to set up the required localizations yourself so that we don’t have to wait for the localization packs to be developed and delivered with the standard product.

Opening the Address Setup form To add a new Country code to Dynamics 365 we will need to add it within the Address setup in the system. In order to do this, we will need to access the Address setup form within the system.
How to do it… Step 1: Open the Address setup form through the menu search
Type in address into the menu search and select Address setup.
We can find the Address setup form is through the menu search feature.
