Work order entitlements allows organizations to automatically apply discounts to work orders and their related products and services by associating a pre-configured price list or just typing in the discount percentage.

This past week I was was asked to demo a specific way of scheduling a work order using Dynamics 365 Field Service. For anyone who is not familiar with quick booking or quick scheduling in field service, this is a way of assigning a resource to a booking directly from within the context of a work order, without having to pull up the schedule board. I wrote an article aboutRead More
Create case from a tweet with negative sentiment
This past weekend I have been playing around a little more with Power Automate. I was off on Friday for Independence Day, since the 4th of July was on a Saturday most organizations gave their employees the previous Friday off to observe the holiday and what better to do on your day off than playing around with some of the tools of the Power Platform toolbox! I was thinking aboutRead More

Tracking Opportunity Approvals
Last week I had an interesting requirement for one of my prospects. They wanted to track approvals for opportunity records in Dynamics 365 Sales. You’re probably going to say ‘That’s easy enough, just use Power Automate and create a flow with approvals but it was a tiny bit more complicated than that, which made me think this configuration would make an interesting topic to write about. I learned a lotRead More
