Fun fact, making extensions for this requires you to learn a new language called X++ that is based on .net framework 4.7. Development is done only on azure-hosted VMs that contain the application code and sql server and web host and visual studio with the special X++ build tools, all on one host that runs like shit at your expense.

Couldn't tell you, I don't know what AL is. Dynamics is actually a bunch of different enterprise apps loosely lashed together with twine, so X++ might only be for Finance & Operations.

We used it for ERP, including sales, CSR, and inventory. But we still had a separate WMS, and we had to build glue to sync the WMS inventory data with the D365 data, bidirectionally.

Ah ok. Microsoft and their naming things… But interesting to know :)
