Connect to finance and operations apps

Microsoft via Microsoft Learn

Overview

  • Module 1: As a developer, you are generally part of the data integration scenarios during and after a Finance and Operations apps implementation. This module explores web application programming interfaces (APIs) that are available for Finance and Operations apps and will help you understand the key differences between synchronous and asynchronous integrations for the application.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Identify integration web application programming interfaces.
    • Explore available data integration scenarios.
    • Identify the key differences between synchronous and asynchronous integrations.
  • Module 2: Connect to your Finance and Operations apps data by using data entities, where data is accessed outside of the application and with different endpoint and external applications.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Create a data entity.
    • Enable data management capabilities.
    • Expose Open Data Protocol (OData) endpoints with data entities.
    • Identify custom service endpoints.
    • Discover external web services that are available for use.
    • Consume external web services.
    • Connect to your data with the Microsoft Excel add-in.
    • Connect to your data with Microsoft Power Apps.
  • Module 3: The Data management framework's package representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API) lets you integrate with Finance and Operations apps by using data packages.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Import and export APIs between Finance and Operations apps cloud deployments and on-premises deployments.
    • Import and export APIs between on-premises deployments.
    • Use GetExecutionSummaryStatus to get the status and availability of APIs.
  • Module 4: Integrations are an important component of implementing Finance and Operations apps. By implementing recurring integrations, you can enable the exchange of documents or files between Finance and Operations apps and third-party applications or services.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Set up a data project.
    • Set up a recurring data job.
    • Define authorization for integrations by using OAuth.
    • Use Microsoft Dataverse to synchronize entities between Dynamics 365 applications.
    • Use composite data entities.
    • Integrate composite data entities.
    • Export composite data entities.
    • Learn about Azure Data Lake and Entity Store.
    • Learn about Microsoft Power Platform convergence.
  • Module 5: When it is time to migrate data, the more you know, the easier it is to control operational complexity and reduce costs. Your customer's business continuity must be your priority. Learn how to prepare data for migration, by using the data management framework to manage data entities and data entity packages in Finance and Operations apps.
  • In this module, you will learn how to:

    • Choose a data integration (import/export) strategy.
    • Identify common migration scenarios and tools in Finance and Operations apps.
    • Understand the Bring your own database (BYOD) feature.
    • Identify relevant (legacy) systems.
    • Identify and import static data that is common between industries.
    • Create and review test plans for data migration.
    • Identify and extract source data.
    • Identify relevant data entities and elements.
    • Generate field mapping between source and target data structures.
    • Test a data migration and validate output.
    • Support the transition between the existing and migrated systems.
  • Module 6: Administrators often need access to their data from Finance and Operations apps, to perform analytics that will help ensure that certain parameters or business metrics are met.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Learn about the core concepts of Bring Your Own Database (BYOD) and its advantages compared with the Entity Store.
    • Create and manage custom data sources.
    • Learn how to optimize data entities to achieve better performance
  • Module 7: Finance and Operations apps are integrated with Microsoft Azure to help power many of its built-in capabilities, such as search and intelligence. This module will focus on custom cloud integrations that you can build that are unique to your own project integration needs.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Develop and integrate by using Logic Apps.
    • Integrate Finance and Operations apps with enterprise applications.
    • Develop and integrate Microsoft Power Platform.
    • Automate EAI, B2B, EDI, and business processes.
    • Consume data from Azure Machine Learning (ML) service.
    • Enable connectivity with external services.
  • Module 8: Microsoft Power Platform services like Power Apps and Power Automate, and the Common Data Model are tools that you can use to create efficient ways to get more work done with Finance and Operations apps.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Connect your Finance and Operations apps data with Power Automate.
    • Connect to your Finance and Operations apps data with Power Apps.
    • Learn about the Common Data Model to bring data from multiple systems and applications together.
