Who provides Dynamics 365 Business Central support in the UAE after go-live?

Dynamics 365 support in the UAE covers user help desk questions, administration of licences and permission sets, and sandbox testing of Microsoft updates against your extensions before production. Business Central online receives two major release waves a year, typically in April and October. UAE ERP Experts provides Dubai-based support for Business Central and Finance and Supply Chain Management, including month-end and VAT period assistance.

  • Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management run on a continuous update cadence.
  • Business Central lets admins schedule update windows within a defined period.
  • Cloud customers can change partner of record and grant delegated admin access to a new partner.
  • Support requests can be raised by email, phone and WhatsApp.

Why Dynamics 365 needs ongoing support

Dynamics 365 support in the UAE is different from supporting an on-premises system that never changes. Business Central online receives two major release waves each year, typically in April and October, plus regular minor updates. Finance and Supply Chain Management also runs on a continuous update cadence. Each update can affect your extensions, report layouts, integrations and the way users work.

On top of that, everyday questions do not stop after training. A new accountant needs to know how to post a prepayment, the warehouse lead cannot see a location, a payment run fails because a vendor's bank details are incomplete, or the VAT return report shows a figure nobody expected. Without a responsive partner, these small issues pile up and users drift back to spreadsheets.

We support companies whose Dynamics 365 we implemented and those coming from another partner. Support covers the application, its configuration and our own or inherited extensions. Microsoft remains responsible for the platform and service availability, and we raise cases with Microsoft on your behalf where needed. Related reading: ERP support services and ERP health check.

Why Dynamics 365 needs ongoing support
  • Help desk for functional and technical questions by email, phone and WhatsApp
  • Sandbox testing of each release wave against your extensions
  • User, license and permission set administration
  • Month-end and VAT period assistance for finance teams
The Challenge

Support issues UAE Dynamics 365 users raise most often

These are recurring patterns we see across Business Central and Finance customers in the UAE.

Previous partner has gone quiet

Some companies were implemented by a partner that has since changed focus or left the market. Tickets go unanswered and nobody has the extension source code.

Updates breaking custom features

An extension written for an older version stops compiling or behaves differently after a release wave. Without sandbox testing, users find the problem in production.

Permission sets that grew by accident

Over time, users are given broad permissions to get past errors quickly. This weakens segregation of duties and creates audit findings.

VAT figures that do not reconcile

Incorrect VAT posting setup combinations or manual journal entries can make the VAT report disagree with the general ledger. Finance needs help tracing differences before filing.

Reports nobody can change

Invoices, statements and management reports were built in a way only the original developer understands. Simple layout changes take weeks.

How It Works

How our Dynamics 365 support works

We keep the process simple so your users know exactly what to do when something goes wrong.

01

Onboarding review

We review your environments, extensions, integrations, permission sets and open issues, and collect source code and credentials into your own repository and tenant.

02

Ticket logging

Users raise issues through a shared help desk with screenshots and steps. Each ticket is categorized by impact so urgent posting or payment problems are handled first.

03

Diagnosis and fix

Functional consultants handle how-to and configuration issues; developers handle extension, report and integration defects, tested in a sandbox before release.

04

Release wave preparation

Before each major update, we test your extensions and key processes in a sandbox updated to the new version and fix issues ahead of the production update window.

05

Monthly review

A short report on ticket themes, recurring issues and recommended improvements or training, so support costs fall over time.

What a Dynamics 365 support plan includes

Scope is tailored, but most UAE customers include the following.

  • Named support contacts in our Dubai team who know your setup
  • Ticket portal and agreed response targets by priority level
  • Functional help for finance, sales, purchasing, inventory and HR users
  • Bug fixes for extensions and reports we maintain
  • Release wave testing in a sandbox environment
  • User onboarding, license reassignment and permission set changes
  • Help with VAT return reports and year-end closing steps
  • Escalation and follow-up of Microsoft support cases
  • Quarterly review of security roles and inactive users
Implementation Timeline

Getting started with Dynamics 365 support

Taking over support is quick for well-documented systems and takes longer where documentation is missing.

Durations are typical ranges; your plan is agreed after discovery.

  1. Introductory call

    1-2 days

    We learn your apps, user count, integrations and the problems that matter most.

  2. Technical handover

    1-3 weeks

    Access setup, code and documentation collection, and an inventory of extensions and integrations.

  3. Stabilization

    2-6 weeks

    Clearing the backlog of open issues and fixing anything that blocks daily posting or reporting.

  4. Steady-state support

    Ongoing

    Day-to-day tickets, release wave testing and periodic reviews.

Business Benefits

What good support delivers

We avoid promising fixed numbers, but these are the results customers judge us on.

Fewer workarounds

Users get answers quickly, so they stop keeping side spreadsheets to get around problems.

Calm update cycles

Release waves are tested in advance, so production updates do not interrupt invoicing or payments.

Cleaner audits

Permission reviews and documented changes give auditors a clearer picture of who can do what.

Predictable cost

A support plan replaces ad hoc emergency fees with a known monthly scope you can budget for.

UAE Compliance Built In

UAE regulations covered in every Dynamics 365 Support UAE project

We configure the system for the rules UAE businesses report against, and test it before go-live.

General information, not tax or legal advice. Confirm current requirements with the FTA, MOHRE or your advisor. See all UAE compliance guides.

Official sources and references

Facts on this page were checked against these sources in October 2026. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before acting.

FAQs

Dynamics 365 support FAQs

Still have a question? Our consultants are happy to help.

Ask an Expert
Can we switch our Dynamics 365 support partner to you?

Yes. For cloud subscriptions, you can change your partner of record and grant us delegated admin access. We then collect extension source code and documentation from your previous partner or reconstruct what is missing.

Do you support both Business Central and Finance and Supply Chain?

Yes. Business Central is the most common in our UAE support base, and we also support Finance and Supply Chain Management customers for functional and technical issues.

What happens when Microsoft releases a new update?

We update a sandbox environment to the new version, test your extensions and key processes, and fix issues before your production update window. Business Central lets admins schedule update windows within a defined period.

Is support available outside UAE office hours?

Our core coverage follows UAE business days. Extended hours for critical issues, such as period-end or payroll days, can be included in a support plan.

Will you help us prepare our VAT return from Dynamics 365?

We help you run and reconcile the VAT reports in Dynamics 365 and trace differences to their source entries. Decisions on tax treatment and the return itself remain with your finance team and tax advisor.
