TL/DR: I got interested in Power Apps, set some goals and managed to build a simple app to Receive Purchase Orders: Why Power Apps I’ve been against Low Code/No Code for as long as I can remember. I’ve always thought that these tools don’t scale, make spaghetti code, restrict me too much and just that…

Few weeks ago I experimented with Powerapps and Business Central integration. I liked it and I wanted to do more with it. So here’s another try to push a bit the Powerapps and see how flexible it can be to handle more complicated business requirements. My business requirements are the following: I want to sell…

I had recently a request from a customer that they want to relate dimensions in Business Central.

For my recent project https://bcrfq.com which is a Request For Quotation app made for Business Central that allows vendors to send their quotes to BC I needed a way to allow the vendors to do it without asking them to sign up to anything. I just wanted to share a link to them and be…

Recently I had to validate some filter selections on a report in Business Central and found out it was not so straight forward to do. What happened when using the trigger OnPreDataItem() or trigger OnPreReport() triggers was that I was able to validate the filter selections by user but the user experience was not optimal…

Hiljuti tuli mulle meelde, et kunagi ehitasin ma ühe väikese programmi, mis suutis võtta EMTA lehelt kõik nende avaldatud excelid ja need andmebaasi salvestada.Kuna ma tegelen ise igapäevaselt Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Centrali juurutamise ja arendamisega, siis mõtlesin, et teen endale väikese analüüsi kui suur üldse Eesti ERP tarkvarade konsultatsiooni turg on ning milline on…
