Introduction: Microsoft Dynamics Business Central allows extending Pre-defined Tables, which is basically Customization and it is achieved using Extensions. Using Extensions developers can modify Pre-defined Tables according to requirements. But the extension of a Table can be done only if its “Extensible” property is set as True. This property is by default set as True for Tables. Now suppose a developer wants to extend a table that is created. Pre-requisites: VS Code AL Language Extension Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Solution: Step 1: Set the Extensible property of the Table that is supposed to be extended as shown below: In this case, the table to be extended is “Properties”.   Extensible Property Step 2: Now go to Extension Management and get the AppID, Publisher, Name of App and Version as shown below:   App Details Put the above details of App in the dependencies section of the new extension where the table is to be extended as shown below and download symbols:   Dependencies Step 3: You can see that the “Properties” table is now available for extension. Here I have added a field “Extended Name” in the Properties Table. Also, that field can now be seen by accessing Properties Table by URL.   Extended Table   Thank you. Hope this helps!

Some Retailers may want to encourage customers to pay via cash in their Retail stores. This can be made possible by offering discounts to customers if they pay by a Cash mode of payment. In this way, they can help reduce the expense of credit card processing fees. Therefore, retailers might provide discounts to customers who use these alternative tender types. In Dynamics 365 Commerce (Retail) a new type of discount has been introduced which is called as tender based discount. In tender based discounts, as a Retailer you are able to give different discounts based on the payment medium the customer has chosen to pay. Even though tender-based discounts reduce the subtotal of the transaction, automatic charges that are applied to the transaction aren’t affected. For example, if the delivery charges are calculated as $5 because the subtotal was more than $100, and the tender-based discount reduces the amount so that it’s less than $100, the delivery charges are still $5 for the order. In the system you can go to Retail>Pricing and discounts >Tender discount. Here you can set up the parameter as required, add price groups and then run necessary jobs to apply it in Retail POS. In the below example the payment type selected is Cash. You can select any type of method as per your need.

Introduction Power Automate has finally got one of the most awaited features. Let me explain it to you. So, if you are willing to deploy similar type of actions inside flow, you had no option but to write each action separately from the beginning. phew! That sounds like lot of work! But now, thanks to Power Automate, flexible solutions have emerged to save time and create better user experiences, which means now you are not required to write each action distinctly every time right from the start, instead just copy and paste actions in Power Automate! Voila! There you go! Copy Click on ellipsis (…) on action which you want to copy or duplicate. Click on “Copy to my clipboard” Paste Click on “Add an action” Go to “My Clipboard” Under My Clipboard you can see all the actions which you have copied. Select the action which you want to paste.

Introduction This blog explains how we can trigger Power Automate based on the required condition. Suppose you have a requirement where you want your flow should get trigger based on some condition then you can check condition on “Trigger” itself rather than adding a new action to check condition. Use Case: Trigger flow when Lead is created and Lead Source Type is “Trade Show” Trigger flow when Lead is created and Flag is “Yes”. Trigger Flow when Lead is created, Lead Source Type is “Trade Show” AND Flag is “Yes”. Trigger Flow when Lead is created, Lead Source Type is “Trade Show” OR Flag is “Yes”.   Steps to be followed: Trigger flow when Lead is created and Lead Source Type is “Trade Show” Click on Ellipsis (…) –> Click on Settings Go to Trigger Conditions and Click on “+Add” Add condition. @equals(triggerBody()?[‘leadsourcecode’],7) NOTE: “Lead Source” is an option set field add value of that option to check. After adding condition click on Done. Test your flow.   Trigger flow when Lead is created and Flag is “Yes”. Repeat step number 1 to 3. NOTE: Flag is the “Two Option” field for two option set fields use true or false in condition. @equals(triggerBody()?[‘cf_flag’],true)       Trigger Flow when Lead is created, Lead Source Type is “Trade Show” AND Flag is “Yes”. Repeat step number 1 to 3. AND Condition @and(equals(triggerBody()?[‘cf_flag’],true), equals(triggerBody()?[‘leadsourcecode’],7))   Trigger Flow when Lead is created, Lead Source Type is “Trade Show” OR Flag is “Yes”. Repeat step number 1 to 3. OR Condition @or(equals(triggerBody()?[‘cf_flag’],true), equals(triggerBody()?[‘leadsourcecode’],7))

In Dynamics 365 for Retail there are many types of discounts available which retailers can offer to customers. These discounts help the business increase the sales and also the customer base. One of the discounts is called Mix and Match Discount . A mix-and-match discount gives customers a discount when they purchase a specific combination of products. For example, a customer purchases two boxes of tea and receives 50 percent off the price of a tea cup. Products and variants can be included in mix-and-match discounts. Here is how you can configure Mix and Match discounts.   In the above screen grabs you can see two types of mix and match discounts 1) Buy one product and get 50% off on the 2nd product 2) Buy one product and get another product free(100% off) You can add more products and use them in combination to offer discounts. After you have created discounts make sure to add your retail store to the price groups Hope this helps!

A threshold discount is a discount that is given to customers when the total for a transaction reaches one or more specified amounts. For example, you could create a discount that gives a 10 percent discount for purchases over 100.00 and a flat 25.00 discount for totals over 200.00. You can set it up from the following path Retail>Pricing and discounts Once you have configured the discount as per your requirement as  shown here, do make sure you add a price group to it which has the the store mentioned where discount would be applied On POS whenever you sell an item from the Jewelry category and if the total bill is going over 1000$, customers will get 5% discount. Hope this helps!

Introduction: In this series of Fixed Assets aka FA, I will be teaching you through a life cycle of the Fixed Assets. How to create and acquire these fixed assets, how to depreciate the FA, and how to post transactions on Fixed Assets in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central.   Pre-requisites: Microsoft Dynamics Business Central (ERP) Basic understanding of Fixed Assets Demonstration: 1. Creation of Fixed Assets: To create Fixed Assets search Fixed Assets and open the Fixed Asset List. Click on New (+), automatically FA No. is set up from No Series. Enter the FA Name, FA Class Type, FA Subclass Type, FA Location if you have multiple FA Locations. Creation of Fixed Asset Setup the FA Depreciation Book, by default we have COMPANY. Also set up the Depreciation Start Date and End Date or Start Date and No. of Years. Book value is the current value of the Fixed Assets. This value increases or decreases depending on your Appreciation or Depreciation of FA. 2. Acquire Fixed Assets: There are two ways you can acquire Fixed Assets i. Using Acquire Button on the Fixed Asset Card In Order to acquire the fixed asset, click on the ‘Acquire’ action on the Fixed Asset Acquire Action This will open a Wizard to get the Data from the User and convert into Fixed Asset G/L Journal Acquisition Entry Wizard to take the Data from the User.   Entering the Acquisition Cost and Posting Date   Entering the Balancing Account for Acquisition Amount   Finish the wizard.   Acquisition Entries in FA Ledger Entries ii. Posting a Purchase Order for Fixed Asset: To acquire FA using Purchase Order, insert the FA Purchase Lines. Once you post the Purchase Order, an acquisition entry will be created in FA Ledger Entries. Fixed Asset Acquisition through Purchase Order   Fixed Asset Acquired through Purchase Order 3. Post Salvage Value: To post a Salvage Value, goto Fixed Asset Journal. Insert the Entry to based on the FA No., FA posting type as Salvage Value and Amount that will be received back when Fixed Asset is disposed off. Post Salvage Value – Fixed Asset Journal You will find the Salvage Value in Statistics. According to rule Depreciable Basis  = Acquisition Value –  Salvage Value FA Statistics after Salvage Value is posted 4. Setup Depreciation:  To setup depreciation, you will need to insert the Depreciation Method, Depreciation Start Date, Depreciation End Date and No. of years. Setting up Depreciation 5. Calculate Depreciation: To create a depreciation, make use of Calculate Depreciation Report where you can set the Document No., Posting Date, you can even put the No. of depreciation days etc. Calculate Depreciation This report will create depreciation entries in FA G/L Journal. Calculate Depreciation – FA G/L Journal   Depreciation Entry 6. Disposing of a Fixed Asset: To dispose of a Fixed Asset, you need to create a Disposal Entry in FA G/L Journal FA G/L Journal Disposal   After Disposing the Fixed Asset Disposal should be done on the end date of Depreciation. After Disposing the Salvage Value is posted to Sales Account andFA Book Value becomes 0. Conclusion: In this way, I have shown you the Life cycle of a Fixed Asset. It is relatively easier to deal with Fixed Asset as it doesn’t contains any inventory and accounting is much more simpler. In my next blog I will be inclining towards advance version of Fixed Asset Understanding
