Retention policies can be used to help organizations manage their data retention requirements. These policies can be used to specify how long data should be kept and when it should be deleted or moved to a different location. In Microsoft 365, retention policies can be applied to several locations, but there are some locations where retention policies cannot be applied.

The locations where retention policies can be applied include Exchange email, SharePoint Sites, OneDrive accounts, and Stream recordings. Retention policies can be used to manage the lifecycle of data in these locations, specifying when data should be deleted or moved to a different location.

However, Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations data is a location where retention policies cannot be applied. This means that retention policies cannot be used to manage the lifecycle of data in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.

To summarize, retention policies can be applied to several locations in Microsoft 365, including Exchange email, SharePoint Sites, OneDrive accounts, and Stream recordings. However, retention policies cannot be applied to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations data.
