What's new and planned for Dynamics 365 Finance features list can be viewed from here
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365-release-plan/2020wave2/finance-operations/dynamics365-finance/planned-features
What I liked most is listed
Touchless email reminders to customers
We often have to set alerts for payment reminders based on certain conditions (e.g. overdue) but with this touchless email reminders features, it will give you more peace of mind by automatically sending email reminders might initiate an activity that encourages payment sooner than would be made without the reminder.
When enabled, email reminders will be sent automatically to customers, with a list containing overdue invoice information based on email templates.
Configurable business documents conversion to PDF
This has been a very common requirement even in AX 2009 and AX 2012 and now in Finance and Supply change management to have documents convert to PDF e.g. when printing reports on screen or download. Having enabled this new feature let you any business document generated in Excel or Word to be converted to PDF.
You can use the PDF conversion option to convert the output in Microsoft Office format (Excel/Word) to PDF format.
Make PDF conversion available
To make the PDF conversion option available in the current Finance instance, open the Feature management workspace, and turn on the Convert Electronic Reporting outbound documents from Microsoft Office formats to PDF feature.
Finance and Operations cross-app capabilities
MS has done a fantastic job in bringing Finance and Operations data natively available in CDS through Data Integrator and Dual Write. With this release wave, more features are coming to streamline this process and enhance digital transformation.
These features are going to be person opt-in enabled which allows customers to adopt new features at their own cadence and are not forced with 8 updates of the year from MS.
Lifecycle Services (LCS) new enhanced experience consistent for all Dynamics and Power Platform users.
Enhanced view with issues categories
A context-based document search experience
More visibility to known issues and status for the impacted product versions through Knowledgebase suggestions.
New grid control with a lot more advanced features
You may have already used some of these features and have experienced issues e.g. You might run into situations occasionally where the grid headers and data are misaligned, or the grid jumps while you scroll through data or create new records.
