It's clear that there's a lot of expert knowledge that went into this book. Unfortunately, it seems that they spent so much money on their AL experts that they didn't have any left over for writers or editors.There is little structure to the book. We learn about Table Triggers hundreds of pages before we learn what we can do with them, or why we might want to do anything with them. There's no discussion of the actual structure of the AL language; instead, we end up retyping page after page of abstruse code without actually understanding any of it.Practical lessons are interspersed with long sections describing features. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much in the way of a connection between the two. Page after page of rote copying of code is followed by an academic discussion of different uses of tables, with very little reference to the tables we were just creating. The explanation of *why* we were creating the tables and fields in question gets lost in the shuffle.And that's not counting the blatant errors in the book. Screen shots show the wrong thing. Table names change part way through without warning. Common problems, like being unable to download the symbols, are not mentioned. You're told to use features that simply don't exist in the program you're using; it takes extensive research to discover that they're actually talking about using a feature of a completely *different* application, and didn't bother to mention it.In Chapter 3, for example, we've been doing the standard rote retyping of flowfield properties into Visual Studio Code, when the book describes an error message that does not appear in VSCode. We're told to press F11 to compile; in VSCode, F11 switches to full screen mode. It was only reading another review of the book that I discovered this is a feature of a completely different application, C/SIDE.It seems that this book is the only one on the market, and to be fair it *does* have a lot of useful information in it. But go in prepared for a slog.

Book jumps from Visual Studio Code into C/side without warning (e.g. page 153). The real world use case that is used references asks you to create tables using specific table numbers and these numbers then change later in the book. Looks like the book has been hastily rehashed from the earlier Dynamics NAV version with insufficient proof reading.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
