Power Platform & Business Central: The Complete Fast Track

Posted on: 4th October 2026

Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Build Power Apps, Power Automate approval flows, and Power BI dashboards connected to Business Central without coding.

Description

Most Power Platform courses teach the tools separately, which leaves you unsure how they connect to an actual ERP. This course builds four working solutions against a live Business Central trial environment, covering a mobile canvas app, an approval workflow, an embedded Power BI dashboard, and the integration patterns behind all of them.

This Course Offers

  • Environment setup covering a Business Central trial, a Power Platform environment, and registering an Azure AD app for live connections
  • A three screen Power Apps canvas app connected to Business Central Purchase Orders, with list, detail, and creation screens reading and writing in real time
  • A complete Power Automate approval flow triggered by a BC event, condition checked by amount, routed to a manager, and written back automatically
  • A two page Power BI dashboard showing real time sales and finance KPIs, embedded directly inside the Business Central interface
  • Technical foundations including BC's OData API, OAuth versus service account authentication, delegation limits, and error handling in flows

Why We Love This Course

  1. It builds against real Business Central data rather than mock examples, so the solutions are deployable.
  2. Delegation limits and authentication choices are explained, which is where production integrations usually break.
  3. Error handling is covered, so flows fail loudly instead of silently losing data.
  4. At three and a half hours across forty one lessons, it delivers four working solutions without padding.

Business Central holds the finance and operations data, and Power Platform is how that data becomes mobile apps and automated approvals. Do you want to keep exporting to spreadsheets, or build apps that talk to the ERP directly? Enrollment is open, and a free Microsoft 365 developer account works.

Course Eligibility

  • This course is perfect for Business Central users and administrators wanting custom apps without writing AL code.
  • It suits Power Platform makers and developers integrating with Business Central for the first time.
  • Microsoft consultants, solution architects, and finance or operations professionals automating BC processes will find the four patterns directly applicable.

Course Requirements

  • A Microsoft 365 account is needed, and a free developer account works with a setup link provided in the course.
  • A laptop with Chrome or Edge browser is required.
  • No coding experience is required, though basic knowledge of Power Platform and Business Central experience is expected.
