By: Adrià Ariste Santacreu

Overview of this book

Uncover the synergy between Microsoft Power Platform and its integration with Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) with this essential guide to implementing low-code and no-code concepts to not only extend and enhance F&O but also improve maintainability and speed up development. Systematically exploring Power Platform, this book covers topics such as Dataverse, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI using real-world scenarios in Dynamics 365 F&O to offer practical insights. You’ll then master the integration of F&O and Power Platform using dual-write and virtual tables, and delve into process automation with Power Automate. The book further deepens your proficiency in Power Apps by showing you how they can be used to extend the F&O functionality and incorporate artificial intelligence using AI Builder and its pre-trained AI models ready to use with your data. Throughout, you’ll gain a solid understanding of the diverse components of Power Platform and how they can transform your Dynamics 365 F&O experience. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to fully harness the immense potential of Power Platform and Dynamics 365 F&O.

You can see we’re still using the standard Dynamics 365 F&O functionality. It’s a simple purchase requisition with two lines that will be submitted for review using the standard purchase requisition workflow at the header level.

What happens behind the scenes? The workflow is submitted and the batch job that processes workflow messages will pick it up; that’s when the business event will be emitted and our Power Automate flow will be started. Then, the flow bot will send us the adaptive card (see Figure 4.23):
