Building BcMCPProxy.exe and Connecting to Claude Desktop (BLOG 3 OF 4) Introduction In the previous posts, we covered the concepts ( Blog 1 ) and the BC MCP Server setup ( Blog 2 ). Now it’s time to get hand...

I just connected Claude Desktop to #MSDyn365BC. Here's exactly how I did it.

How I read it: not guaranteed but might happen if the stars allign :)

I guess Microsoft cannot guaranty something like that. I think @sbalslev.bsky.social would be a guy to ask - that is my guess.

My experience is that it does not pop up always. Try to publish the empty app or the app containing only pages. The behaviour might have changed in the meanwhile.

When “Errors” Don’t Stop the Process: A Hidden Risk in Business Central Even if you’re not a developer, it’s useful to know that in Business Central there are different ways the system can react when something goes wrong. Most people naturally assume: if an error happens, everything stops and nothing gets saved. In many cases, that’s true - and it’s a good safety net. But there’s a specific development feature in Business Central that can change this behavior.

Oops, I Did It Again: Reversing G/L Transactions in Business Central As a developer who somehow ended up writing a financial blog post, I’ve discovered something hilarious: reversing General Ledger (G/L) transactions in Business Central is like hitting Ctrl+Z for developers… only with extra paperwork. Instead of magically undoing mistakes, Business Central makes sure every reversal is properly tracked with balancing entries and correction flags. It’s undo with an audit trail — because accountants don’t trust magic, they trust more entries.

Just plain text, saved in a field, opened with a single action. That’s exactly what this Simple Text Editor for Business Central…

Oh yes, we do need that one also.

I really appreciate your recent PRs
One add. note for partners. If you're customers are still using custom reports instead of report ext. then you need some additional code and you have to wait until this PR is merged to easily embed the XML only in the ZUGFeRD process:

Polishing xRechnung and ZUGFeRD in Business Central In the last few weeks, I’ve spent quite some time in the German e-invoicing corner of Business Central – specifically around the xRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats that Microsoft ships on top of the E-Documents framework. These formats are strategically important. With B2B e-invoicing becoming mandatory in Germany in phases from 2025 onwards, and formats like xRechnung and ZUGFeRD explicitly listed as compliant EN 16931 syntaxes, quality matters a lot more than “it usually works”.

How to Accidentally Break Business Central (for Fun) From time to time, I like to write about the fun stuff in Business Central. You know — those moments where curiosity meets “oh no, what have I done?” This time, I played around with Analysis Mode. Spoiler alert: if you follow my steps carefully, you might just manage to kill the session… or in extreme cases, the entire browser. 🚑💻

Ever wondered how far you can push Analysis Mode in Business Central?
Let’s just say curiosity, AppSource apps, and Pivot mode are a dangerous combination.
Spoiler: You might break BC… or your browser. 🚑💻

Conditional Page Breaks in Word Layouts for Business Central Reports If you’ve ever tried to introduce conditional page breaks in Word layouts for Business Central, you already know: it’s a troublesome path filled with hacks, quirks, and a bit of wizardry. Recently, I had an interesting conversation about this topic, so let me share the insights in blog form. The Question A fellow developer asked: “Is it possible to add a conditional page break in a Word layout?

I do not know much about your background but if you had to practice your communication skills, you came a long way because you are one of the nicest persons in the #msdyn365bc bubble. I feel like someone had to say this.

Understanding the Contoso Demo Data Tool in Business Central From time to time, I hear discussions about how to manage demo and setup data in a fresh Business Central environment. Historically, Microsoft handled this using RapidStart Configuration Packages, which were used behind the scenes when creating new companies. However, this approach was mostly reserved for Microsoft and wasn't available to partners publishing on AppSource. That has changed. Since…

Namespaces to the rescue If you remember my post about Warning cleanup, you might already know how I feel about the VS Code extension for Business Central called AZ AL DEV Tools/AL Code Outline. Well, this post is another round of well-deserved praise for that extension. Frankly, I wouldn’t just buy the creator a coffee—I’d treat them to multiple lunches! It has saved me a ton of time once again, so I decided to invest a bit of that saved time into writing this blog post.

Saved 42 hours with AZ AL Dev Tools!
Had to update 2,000 objects in Business Central due to naming conflicts. Manual work? A full workweek. Automation? Seconds.

Huge thanks to AZ AL Dev Tools for making this painless!

Yes, I have seen this way of thinking with my colleagues also. It is not wrong of course. From my point of view, this is just unnecessary. Functions should be small enough - that is more important rule from my perspective. More code impairs readability.

Maybe other apps may be dependant on it - that way it is mandatory to have this app in order that other apps can work. Other than that I personally would not like to have an app that nobody can uninstall in my environment. Or rephrased - I advise against setting an app to "Excluded".

That is for sure nit Microsoft had in mind with these apps. Why do you want to prevent uninstalling the app?

Which is fine. I just do not like that this could mean that local variables should be reset at the start of the function. I feels like anti-pattern.

I would suggest directing the question to Microsoft. I think they did not plan for anyone else them themselves to use this prefix.
