Overview of this book

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a full ERP business solution suite with a robust set of development tools to support customization and enhancement.

Using a case study approach, this book will introduce you to Dynamics 365 Business Central and Visual Studio Code development tools to help you become a productive Business Central developer. You'll also learn how to evaluate a product's development capabilities and manage Business Central-based development and implementation. You'll explore application structure, the construction of and uses for each object type, and how it all fits together to build apps that meet special business requirements. By the end of this book, you'll understand how to design and develop high-quality software using the Visual Studio Code development environment, the AL language paired with the improved editor, patterns, and features.

Defining the required data views

Define how the data should be presented by addressing the following questions:

  • How does it need to be "sliced and diced"?
  • What levels of detail and summary are required?
  • What sequences and segmentations are required?
  • What visual formats will be used?
  • What media will be used?
  • Will the users be local or remote?

Ultimately, many other issues also need to be considered in the full design, including user interface specifications, data and access security, accounting standards and controls, and so on. Because there are a wide variety of tools available to extract and manipulate Business Central data, we can start relatively simply and expand as appropriate later. The most important thing is to assure that we have all the critical data elements identified and then captured.
