Overview of unified ERP provisioning in Power Platform (Dynamics 365 F&O/D365 FSCM)

-
Image
Dynamics 365 Finance and operations apps are now hosted on Microsoft Dataverse, so you can provision ERP alongside other Dynamics 365 and low‑code apps directly in the Power Platform admin center or via API/PowerShell.  Templates streamline environment creation by preinstalling ERP workloads, and a dedicated Provisioning app adds ERP capabilities to existing environments that already have Dynamics 365 apps enabled. 1. Prerequisites and licensing Licenses : You must have a related Dynamics 365 ERP license (e.g., Finance, Supply Chain Management, Project Operations, Commerce) or the Dynamics 365 Operations Application Partner Sandbox. Admins with the Power Platform Administrator or Dynamics 365 Administrator role can create/manage environments without a full user license, subject to a ~12‑hour cache delay after role assignment. Capacity : At least 1 GB available in both Operations and Dataverse database capacities is required. Environment type: Use Sandbox or Trial (subscription‑bas...

Macros are processed before compilation: The compiler never sees the directive itself, only the expanded characters. Legacy feature: They may be deprecated in future releases. Prefer constants or constructs like SysDa for queries. Defining Macros Syntax: #define.MyMacro(Value)   // macro with value #define.AnotherMacro()   // macro without value Case-insensitive: Macro names and directives are not case-sensitive, but best practice is to start names with uppercase. Conditional checks: #if.MyMacro // Code included if defined #endif #ifnot.MyMacro // Code included if not defined #endif Removing Macros #undef removes a macro definition: #undef.MyMacro Using Macro Values Macros can hold character...
