For payment platforms, Dynamics 365 should be designed as separate Commerce checkout and Finance payout responsibilities, not as one unified payout system. Commerce connectors can support checkout acceptance, but public Microsoft material does not prove finance side payout orchestration. If month end close, settlement, and reconciliation matter most, start with a Finance led posting model and validate one end to end flow before adding connector or service layers.
Choosing a path for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and platform payouts starts with one boundary call: separate Commerce checkout capabilities from Finance-side payout integration before you design anything.
This guide is for CTOs and solution architects who need a practical, evidence-based starting point. It stays focused on what Microsoft documents across Dynamics 365 Commerce, Dynamics 365 Finance, and Dynamics 365 Business Central, including areas that may require authorized access, and on what still needs validation before build.
Treat Dynamics as app-scoped, not as one unified payout surface. Microsoft documentation reflects that boundary. For example, the Human Resources compensation pay frequency entity is documented in Dynamics 365 Human Resources as mserp_hcmpayrateconversionentity, not as a generic payout entity across Commerce or Finance. Use three grounded checkpoints as you work through the rest of this guide:
Microsoft documents a Dynamics 365 Payment Connector for PayPal with supported features, setup and configuration guidance, troubleshooting, and common issues. That supports checkout and payment experience work, including PayPal Wallet as a wallet payment type, but it is not documented as Finance-side payout integration.
The PayPal connector Learn page indicates authorization is required. Before you choose a connector-led path, confirm your team can access the full documentation for supported features, setup, and troubleshooting.
Microsoft notes the PayPal and Google Pay Express Commerce pattern is not currently recommended in PSD2-enforcing regions, tied to flows where final order price is calculated on the Commerce checkout page. Release Plans are useful timing signals, including Early Access, Public Preview, and General Availability, plus filters like New (Last 7 days) and Release in 30 days. They do not establish payout orchestration behavior.
The goal is operational clarity. Separate known connector behavior from unknown payout behavior, align finance and engineering on architecture, and sequence delivery without hiding downstream risk behind early checkout progress. If you need broader ERP context beyond Dynamics, see ERP integration for payment platforms.
For a step-by-step walkthrough, see SOC 2 for Payment Platforms: What Your Enterprise Clients Will Ask For.
Use this list if you're making architecture decisions, not just picking a connector. It fits teams that will own month-end close, exception handling, and audit questions when payment data does not align with finance records in Dynamics 365.
This list fits when your team is accountable for AR and traceability from payout events to finance records. Dynamics 365 is used for core finance records, including general ledger, accounts receivable, and reporting, so integration quality directly affects trust in those records. Key differentiator: you prioritize explainable payout reports, fee accounting, and failed or delayed payment handling over demo-ready checkout polish.
Do not treat this as plug-and-play until you verify scope across Dynamics 365 Commerce and Dynamics 365 Finance. Use Microsoft Release Plans statuses and wave summaries as rollout signals only, not as proof of payout behavior for your tenant or region. Key differentiator: you validate scope before design instead of assuming Commerce payment setup equals finance-side payout integration.
This list is most useful when payment operations are fragmented across payout reports, invoice matching, fee accounting, and failed-payment investigation. In many ERP setups, payment collection becomes a disconnected set of steps, and when data sits outside Dynamics 365, teams rely on periodic reconciliation to trust reporting. Key differentiator: you have low tolerance for a "reconcile later" operating model.
This list is a better fit when your team expects custom workflow design to close invoice-to-cash gaps that sit outside the ERP's controlled framework. Key differentiator: if close accuracy and exception handling matter more than checkout UX, design first for finance-side reconciliation and reporting outcomes, then fit frontend payment widgets around that choice.

Before you build, turn product boundaries into explicit assumptions and verify each one against product-specific evidence. That keeps later option choices grounded in what is documented versus what still needs testing.
It is reasonable to separate checkout concerns from accounting concerns, but the provided Microsoft material does not prove that boundary for your payout architecture. If your plan says Dynamics 365 Commerce handles payment-module patterns while Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations owns accounting outcomes, mark that split as "assumed and test-required" for your tenant. Key differentiator: label each boundary as either "documented by source" or "assumed and test-required."
Release Plans can blur product families unless you filter carefully. In the captured view, Associated Products includes Dynamics 365 Finance and Finance and Operations cross-app capabilities in a Business Central context, and Microsoft notes the wave-summary link is "not limited to a particular feature or product." Key differentiator: if a Business Central page is cited in a Finance decision, require a product-specific filter check before it affects design.
Do not assume terminal integration equals payout-architecture coverage. For Store Commerce and Point of Sale (POS), document what events originate there, what downstream accounting artifacts you expect, and what remains out of scope for the terminal layer. Key differentiator: this prevents boundary ambiguity before implementation.
Practical checkpoint: capture Release Plans filters for Availability dates and Associated Products, and record whether items are Early Access, Public Preview, or General Availability. Note if validation was done in offline read-only mode, and treat that as a limitation. Also avoid approving architecture from broad wave summaries or short-window status signals like New (Last 7 days) and Release in 30 days. First confirm that they map to your exact product lane.

With those boundaries locked, the first real choice is whether you want to optimize for checkout execution or for finance control. Choose this path when your first risk is checkout or terminal execution and you are explicitly deferring parts of payout design. It can fit a commerce-led rollout in Dynamics 365 Commerce only if connector choices in your lane are validated directly, not inferred from broad release material. If you are considering names like Dynamics 365 Payment Connector for Adyen or Dynamics 365 Payment Connector for PayPal, treat them as tenant-specific validation items. The provided excerpts do not confirm them.
This option can support front-of-flow payment acceptance, but it does not prove that your downstream Dynamics 365 Finance payout lifecycle, settlement, or reconciliation design is complete.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exact Associated Products and Availability filters used | Wave summaries are not limited to one feature or product, so filtering controls scope. |
| Stage is Early Access, Public Preview, or General Availability | Availability stage is a lifecycle checkpoint, not an architecture sign-off by itself. |
| Whether your evidence came from a read only version page | The captured Release Plans views were offline and read-only, so treat them as limited evidence. |
| Whether the signal is only New (Last 7 days), New (Last 30 days), or Release in 30 days | Short-window status signals help monitoring but are weak proof for design approval. |
Teams validate checkout and only later discover payout ownership is still undefined between Commerce events and Finance outcomes. That gap matters most when AP/AR traceability is part of your approval criteria. If PSD2 or Google Pay Express affects your market, keep that in a separate policy and product review track. The provided sources do not confirm those specifics for your implementation.
Use this option for a commerce-led launch where conversion comes first and payout orchestration is intentionally phased until after accounting controls are defined. Document the deferrals so connector setup is not mistaken for full payout architecture closure.
Choose this path when payout accountability in a Dynamics 365 Finance-led process matters more than checkout speed, especially for Accounts Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), and reconciliation sign-off.
Use a finance-led design when leadership wants posting intent, reference mapping, and review and close behavior defined before volume ramps. This can be the right tradeoff for payout-heavy operations where audit pressure may come early and ownership of settlement-related transactions needs to be explicit.
The main benefit is control. Month-end owners help define document references, status handling, and reconciliation evidence from the start.
There is adjacent ERP signal, but it is limited. On January 30 2024, Nuvei announced its first integration into Dynamics 365 Business Central with claims covering card payments, ACH-related U.S. bank transfers, disbursement services, invoice matching, and near-real-time payment information for cross-system reconciliation. That supports ERP-based payment and disbursement workflows in Business Central, not proof of the same behavior in Dynamics 365 Finance.
Current public material does not document a Finance-specific payout pattern, including service-based behavior such as an External Integration Framework payout orchestration model.
Release Plans filters and stages such as Early Access, Public Preview, and General Availability are useful tracking signals. They also show Dynamics 365 Finance plus Finance and Operations cross-app capabilities as categories. But those captures are wave-level summaries and include read-only and offline views, so they are not enough design evidence on their own.
Approve this option only with Finance-specific operational evidence, not promotional claims or release-plan signals alone. At minimum, require:
A common failure mode is assuming Business Central payment language transfers directly to Finance. If you choose this path, do it to enforce finance truth and auditability before scale, not because public material makes the design look pre-solved.
If you want a deeper dive, read Workday ERP for Payment Platforms: Finance and Payroll Module Integration Guide.
Use this path when your immediate problem is AP friction, not payout architecture. Treat it as a focused AP workstream while a separate workstream defines payout state, routing, and ledger controls.
An AP overlay such as Stampli is a category example here, not proof of a native or official Finance and Operations integration. Treat it as a near-term AP efficiency track, not an end-to-end payout design.
This option fits when finance ops is overloaded with repetitive AP work and needs practical relief quickly. Accounting automation is commonly described as using RPA or AI to simplify repetitive accounting tasks, so the goal here is fewer repetitive manual steps in AP processes.
Tool choice should be fit-first. Accounting automation tools vary by price, industry, integrations, and business size, and adoption is usually smoother when integration fit with your current stack is strong.
A reason to choose this path is practical AP process improvement with less manual handling. Automation is also framed as reducing the likelihood of user error versus manual processing, and one source (April 22, 2025) cites 59% of financial professionals reporting several mistakes per month.
That can make AP overlays a practical bridge when finance teams need immediate process gains while platform engineering is still finalizing payout-side ownership, references, and reconciliation design.
Do not approve this option on marketing claims alone. Vetting is described as a real challenge, so require evidence of operational fit in your environment:
Use release-plan checkpoints, including filters like Release in 30 days, as planning signals only, not as production proof.
This path may improve AP throughput, but it does not by itself define payout orchestration, payout routing, provider-reference handling, or ledger-state design. The risk is treating AP gains as architecture completion, then finding traceability gaps during reconciliation and close.
If your primary risk is month-end ambiguity around payout batches, provider transaction IDs, or settlement evidence, keep the overlay as a parallel AP improvement track. Specify core finance and payout design separately.
This pairs well with our guide on Webhook Payment Automation for Platforms: Production-Safe Vendor Criteria.
Use this option as a design-and-proof track, not as a shortcut. Treat Gruv as a candidate orchestration boundary only after you prove, in your environment, how any available event surfaces map to Dynamics 365 Finance posting and reconciliation outcomes. The current source set does not validate the claims teams often assume are already true.
This path can fit when payout state, policy checks, and traceability matter more than invoice handling alone. It may suit teams that want API and webhook control where enabled, but only if finance signs off on the exact documents and references that must survive into ledger export and close.
Choose this path when payout complexity may require a dedicated boundary between your product and Microsoft Dynamics 365. A marketplace or global contractor flow can be one candidate case. Engineering may need programmatic control of payout requests and status changes, while finance needs evidence linking the original request, the provider-side result, and the ERP accounting record.
Keep key capabilities as discovery items, not assumptions. The provided excerpts do not confirm built-in KYC, KYB, AML, idempotent retries, Virtual Accounts, or audit-ready trace chains, so each one must be vendor-proven before design lock.
Start with evidence quality. One source is a public GitHub README, not an official Microsoft product document, with a visible checkpoint date of Mar 31, 2020. Another artifact note shows 3325 lines (3325 loc) · 533 KB, which makes line-level verification necessary before treating any claim as architecture truth. The same source set also does not establish Dynamics 365 Commerce vs Finance module boundaries, and it does not provide a Microsoft-endorsed reference architecture for Gruv payout orchestration.
| Capability to validate | Proof you should ask for | Why it matters in Dynamics |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance gating such as KYC, KYB, AML | Product docs, sample API payloads, and a failed-check walkthrough | Finance and ops need to know what blocks a payout and what evidence is retained |
| Retry and duplicate protection | Idempotency behavior under replay, timeout, and manual resubmit tests | Duplicate payouts quickly become a reconciliation and liability risk |
| Reference traceability | A sample showing request ID, provider reference, status updates, and ERP export fields | Without a durable key chain, exception research spills into month-end close |
| Cross-border account model, including Virtual Accounts if relevant | Jurisdiction list, onboarding requirements, and settlement examples | Cross-border design affects routing, tax handling, and evidence retention |
If a vendor cannot show these with real payloads and failure paths, you are still evaluating marketing, not implementation readiness.
Run a small pilot before broad rollout. The only timing guidance in the source pack is generic, but still useful: start with one or two months. That window can be enough to test one payout corridor, one exception path, and one export into Dynamics 365 Finance without hard-wiring assumptions into production.
Your pilot evidence pack should include:
Boundary mismatch can be the core failure mode. Teams may assume orchestration outputs will align with Dynamics posting models, then discover late that event names, status timing, or reference formats do not match what finance needs to post, settle, and explain exceptions. Make the contract between Gruv outputs and Dynamics 365 Finance artifacts explicit before build, or keep evaluating alternatives.
If accounting drift is your main risk, bias toward a Finance-centric path (Option 2) or a Gruv-layer path (Option 4). If checkout rollout speed is the hard constraint, start Commerce-centric (Option 1) and time-box the finance debt from day one.
Treat the depth columns as directional, not as product-certified scorecards. Source visibility is uneven, one Microsoft release-plan view is explicitly offline and read-only, and payout API and webhook specifics are not consistently visible across options.
| Path | Best for | Integration depth | Finance control depth | Payout control depth | Implementation risk | Unknowns to validate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1 Native Commerce Connector Path | Commerce-led teams prioritizing checkout convenience | Can be shallower on finance integration, with separate finance design likely needed for payout outcomes | Indirect from current evidence; finance ownership is not the primary shape of this path | Not proven for payout orchestration in the current excerpts | Can lower initial delivery friction, with deferred reconciliation risk | Exact handoff into Dynamics 365 Finance, which identifiers survive into finance records, and whether payout states are visible beyond checkout flows |
| Option 2 Finance-Centric Service Integration Path | Teams where Dynamics 365 Finance posting integrity and reconciliation are success criteria | Deeper up-front effort, especially at service boundaries | Potentially stronger when design starts from posting and exception ownership | Depends on what you build around Finance; public material does not prove full payout-state coverage | Higher architecture burden and cross-team coordination | Service contracts, exception handling, duplicate protection, and how Finance records provider references and payout status transitions |
| Option 3 AP Automation Overlay Path | Finance ops teams improving invoice-to-pay flow first, not full payout orchestration | Medium for AP process gains, narrower than full payout integration | Better for AP throughput than end-to-end payout accounting | Limited for payout control from available evidence | Moderate risk of solving the wrong problem if payout complexity is the real issue | Whether it covers non-invoice payout states, required master-data quality, and where external payout evidence is retained |
| Option 4 Payout Orchestration Layer with Gruv | Platforms that need a dedicated payout boundary between product logic and ERP accounting | Deeper across APIs, events, and finance mapping | Potentially stronger if the event-to-ledger contract is explicit and finance-approved | Potentially stronger for payout operations, with incomplete public proof today | Higher validation burden because hidden assumptions fail late | Real API and webhook payloads, retry and duplicate behavior, compliance-gating evidence, and exact mapping from payout references into Finance export and posting fields |
The core tradeoff is connector convenience versus finance-side control. A Commerce-first route can accelerate checkout rollout, but it can defer finance-side posting and reconciliation outcomes, which is where accounting drift starts.
Use that path only if the debt is explicit: set a dated Finance follow-up milestone, define reconciliation ownership, and define the identifier chain from checkout event to finance record.
Use the unknowns column to prevent false certainty. Microsoft release-plan filters include Early Access, Public Preview, and General Availability, but the captured page is an offline read-only view tied to 2025 release wave 2. That is context, not tenant proof.
Apply the same standard to payout behavior: ask for payload-level evidence, not broad claims. For AP overlays, do not assume invoice automation covers non-invoice payouts. Available comparison sources explicitly note that tool fit must match workflows, controls, and systems, and that native payments can be limited with setup dependence on clean master data.
Choose Option 2 or Option 4 when month-end explanation risk is the expensive failure mode. First checkpoint: one successful posting path, one exception path, a provider-reference field map, and explicit reconciliation sign-off in Dynamics 365 Finance.
Choose Option 1 when checkout speed is the hard requirement and payout complexity is still modest. If you do, time-box the debt with clear exit criteria: commerce-to-finance traceability, payout exception handling, and documented record ownership.
Use Option 3 as a tactical AP lane, not an end-to-end payout answer.

Design for Finance truth before wiring provider traffic. If you implement the connector or service first and defer posting logic, you can end up rebuilding around settlement behavior, duplicate protection, and compliance evidence requirements.
Set module ownership first. Microsoft is explicit that finance and operations apps and customer engagement apps need different integration approaches. Treat Dynamics 365 Commerce and Dynamics 365 Finance as separate responsibility zones unless your implementation design documents a different boundary.
Use a simple rule: checkout acceptance is not payout accounting. In this pattern, boundary mistakes can show up later as unexplained AP and AR balances, not as broken API calls. Document who owns provider communication, posting in Dynamics 365 Finance, and settlement and reconciliation sign-off.
Checkpoint: one ownership map that names the payout request owner, provider reference owner, posting owner in Dynamics 365 Finance, and exception owner. If any are shared without a final approver, pause.
Define payout states and message behavior only after boundaries are fixed. Microsoft frames F&O integration guidance as architecture and design work, and states that processing type drives pattern choice: synchronous is blocking request and response, asynchronous is nonblocking. That decision shapes retries, acknowledgments, and user expectations.
Keep states explicit: separate "request accepted," "money movement confirmed," and "posted in Finance." If you collapse these into one "paid" state, duplicate webhook delivery or delayed confirmations can create production rework.
Require an evidence pack per payout flow before calling integration complete:
| Evidence item | What to verify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Idempotency behavior | Repeated create requests with the same key return the same result and do not create duplicate effects | Stripe positions idempotency as safe-retry protection; keys can be up to 255 characters and may be removed after at least 24 hours |
| Webhook replay handling | Duplicate events are detected, logged, and ignored or merged deterministically | Stripe notes the same webhook event may be delivered multiple times |
| Reconciliation outputs | Which report or export proves the posted outcome in Finance | In AR, the Customer to ledger reconciliation report is available after posting |
| Policy-gate artifacts | Evidence of KYC, beneficial-owner identification where applicable, and AML review status before release | U.S. CDD requires beneficial-owner identification for legal entity customers at account opening; AML/CFT programs are expected to be risk-based |
Failure-mode test: replay the same webhook and resend the same payout-create request. If your state contract cannot show what was deduped, retried, and posted, it is incomplete.
Map postings before connector work. In Finance, settlement can generate new transactions, including invoices, payments, credit memos, and fees. So the posting map cannot end at "successful payout = one journal line."
Start with posting mechanics in Dynamics 365 Finance. Microsoft states methods of payment define how payments post to the general ledger, so method-of-payment setup is a core control point. Include settlement and ledger reconciliation behavior in AP and AR mapping, because settled transactions can be excluded from inquiries and reports.
Operator check: finance should be able to point to provider reference, method of payment, and reconciliation output for one normal case and one edge case. If not, you are still in design. Microsoft flags settlement configuration as potentially complex, so treat that as an implementation constraint, not a documentation detail.
After boundaries, states, and postings are defined, implement the connector or service. Then choose the request pattern, add retry behavior, and wire monitoring. For batch-driven F&O processing, the highest allowed Maximum retries for a retryable batch task is 5.
Run three go-live checks that mirror real failures:
Also subscribe to the batch job failed event for real-time failure notification on monitored jobs. If rollback depends on someone noticing a failure the next day, the control is weak.
Build the accounting and evidence contract first, then connect the pipes. It can feel slower at the start, but it helps avoid late rework when close, audit, or replay events expose gaps.
Related reading: Continuous KYC Monitoring for Payment Platforms Beyond One-Time Checks. Before build starts, align your event contract and reconciliation checkpoints against Gruv's API and webhook model in the developer docs.
Treat these as go-live blockers. If any one is unresolved, Finance risk is still open.
Dynamics 365 Commerce payment setup covers checkout payment collection, not full Dynamics 365 Finance accounting scope. Finance is where Accounts receivable tracks customer invoices and incoming payments, and Accounts payable tracks vendor invoices and outgoing expenditures. If AP and AR posting ownership in Finance is unclear, the integration is not complete.
In Finance, settlement matches invoices against payments or credit notes, and it can be configured to run automatically at posting. In centralized payment scenarios, Finance can also auto-generate settlement, due-to, and due-from transactions across legal entities. Your test: trace one transaction from source reference to posted entry to settlement output before close.
This sequencing creates inconsistent release decisions. U.S. MSBs must maintain an AML program, and CDD procedures require identifying and verifying beneficial owners of legal-entity customers. Tax intake must also be in-path: Form W-9 is used to request a U.S. person TIN, and Form W-8 BEN is submitted when requested by the withholding agent or payer.
If ownership sounds like "ERP will reconcile it" or "someone else will handle it later," the control is weak. In Dynamics 365 Finance, account reconciliation surfaces exceptions for user action, available starting in version 10.0.44. Define one owner for review, one owner for resolution, and one owner for reconciliation sign-off.
We covered this in detail in Tipping and Gratuity Features on Gig Platforms: Payment and Tax Implications.
Choose the architecture that makes Finance accounting and settlement ownership explicit, then optimize checkout speed around that choice.
Treat Dynamics 365 Commerce and Dynamics 365 Finance as different responsibilities. Commerce supports checkout-side connectors, including Adyen and PayPal, with PayPal called out starting in 10.0.14, while Finance governs settlement behavior, and AP and AR settlement can generate new transactions. If your highest risk is close, reconciliation, or auditability, prioritize options that make Finance posting and settlement ownership clear.
Document what is owned by Commerce, Finance, and the provider or payout layer before implementation starts. Microsoft's integration-pattern guidance is for architecture decisions and does not include every setup detail, so unowned seams can stay unclear until late in implementation or production. Be explicit about synchronous versus asynchronous posting behavior, and confirm deployment scope, because Commerce connector deployment docs do not cover provider payment web, front-end processor, or back-end processor deployment.
Choose a path only after scoring each option against checkout dependency, Finance settlement ownership, implementation unknowns, and region-specific policy risk. In Dynamics 365 Finance 10.0.42 or later, test whether Subledger to ledger auto settlement gives the ledger behavior you expect, since AP and AR settlement does not automatically settle corresponding ledger entries by default. If PayPal or Google Pay Express is in scope for PSD2-enforced regions, include that in your risk check, because Microsoft says the current express pattern is not recommended there.
Next step: run a short architecture decision session with finance, engineering, and production-support owners, score the four options against your controls, and log what is confirmed versus what still needs validation.
If you want a practical architecture review of your Dynamics-to-payout rollout plan, talk with Gruv.
No. Commerce payment documentation focuses on customer checkout, including card payments and connectors such as Adyen, plus PayPal starting in Commerce release 10.0.14. Finance documentation covers AP and AR settlement and related ledger behavior.
Use a connector first pattern when the immediate problem is checkout acceptance in Commerce and the documented connector path fits. Use a service based approach when your main risk is Finance behavior, such as posting ownership and settlement outcomes. If storefront capture is the go live risk, start in Commerce. If reconciliation and unexplained balances are the risk, start in Finance focused discovery.
In Finance, settlement is the matching of an invoice against a payment or credit note across transaction types that affect customer or vendor balances. It can be manual or automatic, and the process can generate new transactions. That is why users can see entries they did not type directly.
Set a clear boundary between Commerce checkout and Finance accounting, configure settlement explicitly, and define an AP review path using invoice matching, vendor invoice policies, and workflow where applicable. Also validate subledger versus ledger behavior, because AR and AP settlement does not automatically settle corresponding ledger entries by default. If you are on Dynamics 365 Finance 10.0.42 or later, test whether Subledger to ledger auto settlement changes behavior in the way you need.
Public material gives decision guidance, not a full implementation spec for every pattern. It should not be treated as proof of tenant specific payout behavior or as hard system limits. Discovery should confirm your actual contracts, failure handling ownership, and how records land in Finance for settlement and reconciliation.
Start with the Finance posting model and prove one end to end scenario through settlement first. Then add the Commerce connector or service layer that feeds that agreed Finance outcome. This sequencing reduces reconciliation risk by validating Finance behavior early.

The hard part is not calculating a commission. It is proving you can pay the right person, in the right state, over the right rail, and explain every exception at month-end. If you cannot do that cleanly, your launch is not ready, even if the demo makes it look simple.
Step 1: **Treat cross-border e-invoicing as a data operations problem, not a PDF problem.**
Cross-border platform payments still need control-focused training because the operating environment is messy. The Financial Stability Board continues to point to the same core cross-border problems: cost, speed, access, and transparency. Enhancing cross-border payments became a G20 priority in 2020. G20 leaders endorsed targets in 2021 across wholesale, retail, and remittances, but BIS has said the end-2027 timeline is unlikely to be met. Build your team's training for that reality, not for a near-term steady state.
