In the previous chapter, we saw an overview of the new Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central platform (the new Microsoft SaaS ERP proposition), from a user to a technical perspective.

In this chapter, we'll see an overview of the new extension model for developing solutions with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Here, you will learn the following:

  • The basics of the new extension model
  • The differences between traditional customizations versus extensions
  • The event programming model in Dynamics 365 Business Central

Traditional Microsoft Dynamics NAV customizations

With the old-fashioned Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP (on-premise proposition by Microsoft), the traditional way for customizing the solution is to use the C/SIDE and C/AL languages.

C/SIDE is the standard integrated development environment (IDE) born with the first versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. With C/SIDE and the development environment application, you have access to all the NAV objects, and from here you can customize every part of the application:

With C/SIDE and by using the C/AL language, you can create new objects such as Tables, Pages, Codeunits and so on and you can edit standard objects (made by Microsoft) and modify them as to your needs.

With this traditional way of programming, you can write code in new objects and you can write code inside standard objects and inside standard Microsoft code (between lines). Isolation...

Es gibt ja immer wieder Bücher die sich rühmen einen schnellen Einstieg in dies oder das Thema zu geben. Teilweise verlieren sie sich in Allgemeinheiten oder lassen bei einer Schritt für Schritt Anleitung einen oder zwei wichtige Punkte aus, was dann zum Haare raufen führt. Nicht so hier. Man merkt, dass die Autoren wirklich vom Fach kommen und ihre Erfahrung weitergeben wollen, ohne dabei aus den Augen zu verlieren, was wirklich wichtig zu wissen ist für Anfänger.Ein sehr wertvolles Buch, das genau hält, was es verspricht und einen gleichzeitig noch teilhaben lässt am Expertenwissen der Autoren.Auf diesem Weg: danke!Grazie mille

I've used it as a introduction to changes between older NAV/CAL and new BC/AL. It's a good starting point for this, helpful and easy to follow.

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.
