Even brilliant developers hit a wall inside Microsoft Dynamics 365.
The challenge isn't the syntax. It's the architecture.

The framework is unlike anything they’ve worked in before. This bootcamp teaches your team how to architect solutions that don’t break the system’s core. Every change owned internally. No vendor call required.

Duration

10 days · 4 hours per day

Format

Instructor-led, hands-on sessions

Audience

.NET, C#, and SQL developers new to Microsoft Dynamics 365 FSCM

Delivery

Private cohorts, remote or on-site

Prerequisite

OOP language proficiency and working SQL knowledge

What you will achieve

Four capabilities your team leaves with.

Upgrade-safe code. Resilient integrations. Batch jobs that complete on time. And the judgment to know when not to write X++ at all.

01

Custom code built using Chain of Command and Event Handlers. Never touching standard Microsoft code. Always update-ready.

02

Enterprise integrations connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 to external systems built on OData, Custom Services, and DMF. Resilient under production load.

03

Inefficient X++ SQL loops identified and rewritten. Heavy batch processes redesigned using the SysOperation Framework. Jobs that ran overnight complete in hours.

04

Business problems solved with Power Platform where X++ isn’t needed. Less custom code. Fewer upgrade risks.

Course curriculum

10 days. Built around how the framework actually works.

Every session is drawn from real Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations and post-go-live environments. Not textbook examples. Not demo data.

Day What this covers Key topics What this enables

Day 01             

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 architecture and environment setup
Stop treating this like a standard application. It isn’t.

Visual Studio navigation, Models, Packages, Projects, standard model structure, Application Lifecycle Management, Tier 1 vs Tier 2+ environment management

Developers understand how the platform is structured and how to manage environments without creating deployment disasters.

Day 02             

The Data Dictionary
The relational model here is unlike anything in standard .NET. Build it wrong and performance pays the price.

Extended Data Types, Base Enums, Table relationships, Indexes, Views, Queries, Maps, standard Table Methods including insert, update, validateWrite, pre and post calls

Custom data structures that are optimised, compliant with Microsoft standards, and don’t become performance bottlenecks at scale.

Day 03             

X++ syntax and database access
Your SQL knowledge transfers. Your SQL habits don’t.

Writing X++, complex Select statements, While Select loops, large-volume data manipulation, identifying and eliminating bad SQL loops

Efficient data access patterns that don’t bring a live enterprise system to a crawl during peak load.

Day 04             

User interface and form design
Functional but difficult to use is not good enough in a production environment.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Form patterns, Data Sources, Form Controls, UX optimisation for shop floor and warehouse users

Custom tools that drive adoption. Forms that feel native to the platform.

Day 05             

Classes and advanced batch processing
Synchronous code doesn’t scale. This day moves developers off it.

Object-oriented X++, RunBase vs SysOperation Framework, scheduling background batch jobs, multi-threaded architecture

Batch jobs that complete in hours instead of overnight. Background processes that scale without locking the system.

Day What this covers Key topics What this enables

Day 06             

The modern extensibility paradigm
The golden rule: never modify standard code. This day teaches you how to work around it properly.

Event Handlers, Delegates, Chain of Command, auditing and refactoring conflicting codebases

Custom logic injected safely. System remains update-ready across every Microsoft release cycle.

Day 07             

Data Management Framework
Integrations that rely on direct database access fail silently. This is the alternative.

Building custom Data Entities, staging tables, managing high-volume import and export data projects

Robust integration strategies for CRMs, legacy databases, and third-party logistics providers built on a supported, scalable foundation.

Day 08             

Enterprise reporting: SSRS and Electronic Reporting
Changing a document layout should not require a developer every time.

Building SSRS reports, Electronic Reporting for modern business documents, designing ER formats functional teams can manage themselves

Business users able to adjust invoice, purchase order, and document layouts without raising a development ticket.

Day 09             

Inbound and outbound integrations
Fragile integrations fail quietly, then fail loudly at month-end.

Consuming external REST APIs via X++, OData endpoints, exposing Custom Services securely, retry logic for transient API failures and rate-limit responses

Resilient integration architecture that doesn’t cascade a failed API call into a lost transaction or broken batch job.

Day 10             

Power Platform and live debugging
The future of Microsoft Dynamics 365 development is knowing when not to use X++.

D365 Business Events triggering Power Automate workflows, live debugging session where trainees bring actual failing scripts, slow batch processes, or integration challenges from their own environment

Low-code alternatives embedded where X++ is overkill. Live production issues resolved in session with architect oversight.

Your team is capable of owning this system.
Right now they're renting access to it.

Schedule a scoping call and we will align the course to your codebase, your team's current patterns,
and the specific gaps that are keeping them vendor-dependent.

Who this is for

For developers learning to code inside this framework.

This course is for technically strong developers who are new to Microsoft Dynamics 365 FSCM and need to build, extend, and integrate without breaking the system or blocking upgrades.

.NET, C#, and Java developers

Joining a Microsoft Dynamics 365 FSCM project without prior ERP development experience. Technically strong, framework-unfamiliar.

Internal IT developers

Supporting FSCM post-go-live but without structured knowledge of the extensibility model. Fixing symptoms, not causes.

Technical leads

Responsible for ensuring customisations survive Microsoft's continuous update cycle. Carrying the risk when they don't.

Integration architects

Building connections between Microsoft Dynamics 365 and external systems using approaches that work in development and fail in production.

Private cohorts only. Your team works through scenarios built around your actual codebase and integration architecture. Remote or on-site. Structured around your delivery timeline.

Why sa.global

Built from implementation experience, not a training manual.

This curriculum was not built from Microsoft documentation. It was built from nearly two decades of implementation delivery and post-go-live support across Microsoft Dynamics 365 FSCM environments.

Microsoft Inner Circle partner

Recognised among the top tier of Microsoft global partners. Earned through sustained delivery results across three decades.

Practitioners in the room

Every session is run by someone actively working on Microsoft Dynamics 365 engagements. The scenarios they teach came from a project that went live this year.

60+ countries of deployment experience

Active across 60+ countries. Our teams have seen the edge cases that don't appear in documentation and built the courses around them.

Content maintained by implementers

Course content is updated when the product changes. Not on an annual schedule. By the same teams running live implementations.

Every integration pattern, every batch job failure, every broken upgrade path in this course came from a real Microsoft Dynamics 365 FSCM environment. We diagnosed it. We fixed it. That is what we teach.
