Shawn is extremely knowledgeable in Business Central and I've learned so much from her over the years. Now she has shared her extensive knowledge in this book, which provides screenshots (my favorite!), to really close the gap and provide that deeper understanding of the product in conjunction with Power Platform. This is an excellent read for both consultants and end-users to really enhance the necessary base knowledge of overall functionality. The format of the book is very easy to follow and provides all the necessary resources. Highly recommend!
