Leverage Postman for Streamlined API Testing in Finance and Operations

Image
Introduction Postman is a tool for testing APIs. It lets you send requests, automate tests, and share your work with your team.  We're going to connect Postman to our Finance and Operations environment so we can test out standard or custom APIs. I've already covered automating the testing in Postman in my blog here  so once the connections are in place you'll be good to go! Pre-requisites Postman Finance and Operations Environment Configuration We'll start with creating an App Registration in Azure Portal. Go to the Azure Portal (of the same tenant of your FnO Environment). Search for "App Registration" and click on "New Registration". Add a name for your new app and click on "Register." Once it is completed, you'll be taken to the Overview of the app. Here, click on the "Add a certificate or secret" under the "Client Credentials." Add an appropriate name and select the expiration date of the certificate as necessary...

Integration with Finance and Operations - From Basics (Part 2)

Image
Introduction Finance and Operations provides two major ways to interact with tables (or data entities) for external system using APIs; namely Custom Services and Data Entities. Data entities in D365 Finance and Operations simplify data management by grouping data from multiple tables. They make it easier to import, export, and integrate data with other systems. Custom services in D365 Finance and Operations allow developers to create web services for specific business needs. They enable external systems to interact with D365 F&O by exposing custom logic and operations. This helps in integrating and automating processes with other applications. In the previous blog, we saw how we can use Data Entities to create APIs. In this blog, we'll see how we can use Custom Services to create APIs.

Getting started with development in D365 FnO - Create your own project

Image
Introduction Before we get started with a new project, there's some words that I want to introduce. The most basic element of a project is an object and it's metadata. An object  can be a table, a form, a report or even a EDT field. A group of such objects form  a project . A model  is used to logically group multiple projects together but in essence it holds multiple objects across multiple projects. It can also hold customization done on existing models.  A package  consists of multiple such models and this is what we finally deployed in a Finance and Operations environment using LCS. References: 1.  Models and packages 2. Application Explorer 3.  Properties Configuration The first thing we would need to do to get started with D365 Finance and Operations would be to create and deploy a Finance and Operations environment. I've demonstrated the same in my blog here . Now, once the virtual machine has been setup, we can create our first project here. Cr...
