Dynamics 365 F&O technical development in X++

X++ developers for extensions, data entities, integrations, batch jobs and reports on Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, built through extensibility rather than overlayering.

The challenge

The technical risk in F&O is in shortcuts that block servicing: overlayering, tightly coupled customizations and batch jobs nobody documented. Extensibility patterns keep the customization surface small and updates routine.

Technology we use

  • X++
  • Visual Studio
  • Data entities
  • Azure DevOps
  • OData
  • Dataverse

How we approach it

The same four steps apply whether the project is a rollout, an integration or a fix. Only the depth changes.

  1. Fit to extensibility

    Requirements are mapped to available extension points: Chain of Command, event handlers, table and form extensions.

  2. Develop in the cloud toolchain

    Visual Studio development on a developer environment with source control and build pipelines.

  3. Integrate

    Data entities, custom services, OData, business events and file-based integration through the data management framework.

  4. Test and release

    Unit tests, functional validation and controlled deployment across environments.

What is included

Frequently asked questions

Do you overlayer Microsoft code?

No. Modern F&O development is done through extensions. We use Chain of Command, event handlers and extension objects.

Can you build integrations for F&O?

Yes, with data entities, custom services, OData or business events, depending on volume and direction.
