Object structuring as a reusable component

Hi,

I am currently reviewing a code from external vendor as a fit/gap and based on the functional fit I need to extract particular functionalities and use in our project.

The vendor code is not structured as per the functionality but checked in all into a single solution.

I want to understand the best approach here to restructure the objects to use a small functionality as a working code and import into our project.

Thanks!

Hi Dev,

Can you give us more details? What do you mean by "The vendor code is not structured as per the functionality but checked in all into a single solution."?

Thanks,

Hi Waed,

They have a solution with all the functionality checked into it. We want to cherry pick few functionalities and use them in our project for which there code needs to be structured in order to export only the required functionalities. So how should we proceed in that case. Create different solutions for different functionality or create a single solution with multiple projects and export projects as functionalities which we need?

Thanks!

To start with, you can filter all the object based on the functionality development (eg.. Sales related process will be named with *sales*)

Yea we can but my concern is how to arrange those object. Is it ideal to create a different solutions for all the functionalities or different projects under a single solution.

E.g Domain 1 has 10 functionalities. I am thinking to create a solution domain 1 - create 10 projects under that solution.

As per the functional fit we can export a project and use it in our project.

Hi,

Do you mean you have Source code of the vendor, and you want to take some functionality from it?

Thanks,

Projects are only logical groupings of elements in D365

What you need is your own model, and having 1 or multiple solutions doesn't matter much at all. Just be sure that they are all linked to the same model, so your new cherry picked functionality is in 1 model.

And the most obvious part, forgive me for asking it but - do you have the Vendors permission?
