Frameworks in D365 Finance

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by VoltesDev

Hi,

I'm practically starting to learn Dynamics 365 F&O development, just ask some advice, beside SYSOPERATION FRAMEWORK, what other frameworks that usually developer been using on normal / light customisation ?

Just for the basic framework stuff for beginner first.

And please if you be so kind share the reference beside Microsoft docs, because I find it hard to understand over there.

Thanks.

    Hi Voltes,

    This is a very open and wide question. Can you tell more about the purpose, so you will get related answers?

    E.g. there are some frameworks:

    Number sequence framework

    Financial dimesion framework

    Security framework

    Dual write framework

    Data management framework

    and many more...

    So, please tell what you want to achieve and we can guide you in the best possible way.

    Hi Andre,

    Yes understand your point. The purpose is for a starter developer like me to start, so mainly I want to know the common framework first that usually a junior developer must maintain or do.

    So maybe to make it more clear, I already did try these :

    1. Create and use Number Sequence.

    2. Create batch job classes (this is the one I'm using SysOperation Framework)

    3. Create SSRS report (I'm not sure there is framework for this, bu't I'm using those 4 classes : Contract, RDP, Service, & Controller class.)

    So probably Data management ? or Financial ? I'm not sure which one more common to have customisation.

    Please advice.

    Thanks.

    Reports uses SysOperation framework as well. For example, if you look at SrsReportRunController, you'll see that it extends SysOperationController. It adds a plenty of report-related logic, of course.

    Data entities (which are used in data management, but also at other places) are very important, because regardless of which functional modules a company uses, it needs to import&export data and typically integrate with other systems.

    The financial module is important as well, but it's not a framework. You may want to look at how to work with financial dimensions in code.

    Hi Martin,

    Yes, exactly as I suspected. So basically I'm still "playing" with 1 framework then.

    So for Data entities / data management framework, beside Microsoft Docs, any more "beginner" friendly to practice that, maybe like a guided practice, step by step from small and part by part creating a bigger/complete usage.

    Same like Financial dimension though.

    Thanks.

    Hi VoltesDev,

    You can search on internet for some additional blogs related to Data entities. I found e.g. the next blogs:

    d365byjp.blogspot.com/.../extending-standard-data-entity-to-add_2.html

    basicax.blogspot.com/.../building-and-consuming-data-entities-in.html

    dynamicsinsights.com/.../

    For the financial dimensions there are really a lot of blogs available, but all depending on what you want to achieve. You can actually do a lot e.g.:

    - Create new form with default dimensions

    - Merge dimensions using x++ coding

    - Change individual value using x++ coding

    - more...

    Very nice articles to start with workflows. These two are to the point and are also easy to understand.
