Task names link to help explaining the purpose of each task and providing instructions for completing it. The Task domain column indicates why and when each task is required:

  • Upgrade framework core – task is required on all systems

  • Best practices – task is recommend to improve performance

  • Lean manufacturing – task is required on systems with the lean manufacturing module

  • Retail – task is required on systems with the Retail module

  • Country-specific (GLS) – task is required only if functionality for the specified country or region is supported

Note

The actual number and order of checklist tasks varies depending on your version of Microsoft Dynamics AX, the features installed on the system, and the preprocessing XPO files you selected for import.
