X++ Dev Helper for Dynamics 365 F&O-X++ Dev Helper for Dynamics 365.

Example

A developer submits code that modifies the CustTable by adding a new field for storing the customer's loyalty points. The helper analyzes the code to ensure the addition is done via table extensions and not by modifying the base table directly.

Scenario

The developer has overridden a base method in the CustTable. The helper suggests using Chain of Command (CoC) to extend the method, preserving future updates and minimizing maintenance efforts.

Example

The developer needs to create a new business event to notify external systems when a customer invoice is posted. The helper suggests creating a business event class that extends the `BusinessEventsBase` class, and ensures the class follows best practices for event contract management.

Scenario

By following the helper’s guidance, the developer can quickly implement the event, ensuring seamless integration with other systems while allowing users to subscribe to the event in Power Automate or other platforms.

Example

The helper guides a developer to create a post-event handler for the `insert` method on CustTable instead of directly modifying the base method.

Scenario

The developer needs to trigger an action every time a new customer record is inserted. The helper suggests using an event handler or CoC to avoid modifying the base functionality, ensuring compliance with upgrade-safe practices.

Example

A business needs to trigger external workflows in Power Automate when certain business events occur in the system. The helper provides guidance on creating and extending business events, and explains how to implement role-based security for those events.

Scenario

The business sets up an approval workflow that triggers when purchase orders are confirmed. The helper walks through how to ensure that only authorized users can activate and subscribe to these events in a secure and controlled manner.
