To automate the expense report processing in Dynamics 365 Finance and provide visibility into all steps of the approval process, the following two solutions can be recommended:

A. Use Microsoft Power Automate to create a workflow. Power Automate is a cloud-based service that allows users to create automated workflows between different applications and services. It provides a wide range of templates and connectors that can be used to create custom workflows. With Power Automate, users can create a workflow that automates the expense report processing, from the submission of the report to the final approval. The workflow can include notifications, approvals, and status updates. Users can also track the progress of the workflow and view the status of each step.

B. Use the Business process modeler (BPM) to create a business process flow. Business process modeler (BPM) is a tool in Dynamics 365 Finance that allows users to create and modify business process flows. Business process flows are visual representations of business processes that can include stages, steps, and fields. With BPM, users can create a business process flow that guides the user through the expense report processing, from the submission of the report to the final approval. The business process flow can include conditional branching, validation rules, and automation. Users can also view the progress of the business process flow and track the status of each step.

C. and D. are incorrect solutions because: C. Use the PowerApps platform to create a business process flow. PowerApps is a low-code platform that allows users to create custom business applications. Although it is possible to create a business process flow in PowerApps, it is not the recommended solution for automating expense report processing in Dynamics 365 Finance.

D. Create a workflow that runs on Application Object Server (AOS). Creating a workflow that runs on Application Object Server (AOS) is not the recommended solution for automating expense report processing in Dynamics 365 Finance. AOS is a component of Dynamics 365 Finance that handles application logic and data access. Although it is possible to create a workflow that runs on AOS, it is not the recommended solution for automating expense report processing because it does not provide the necessary visibility into all steps of the approval process.
