There is many of Dynamics AX 2009 users who will soon be transiting to AX 2012 R2 upgrades. After thousands of hours of analysis, Microsoft has simplified the modules and also has relocated many of the options within the modules to their more pertinent areas. The change has also occurred in module names and some modules have been further broken down 2 or 3 modules. Also, as before, this is an inter-related system where the forms of one module can still be accessed from the other module provided the permissions are granted. The below table give a brief overview of the naming and placement changes that Microsoft has brought in with AX 2012 R2 release:
