Detailed guide on creating Business Events with Azure Service Bus

I have been working with the new Business Events feature released in FinOps and you should read the docs site first. This blog post focuses primarily on setting up Azure Service Bus endpoint. Setting up the Azure services can be tricky if you are not familiar with Azure Key Vault and application registrations. I have sequenced the post so that you don't have to jump around.

Embed PowerApps in Modern POS

There was a feature released around 8.1.3 to open URL in POS. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/retail/open-url-in-pos Follow the guide to add a button to POS via the Screen Layouts. In the Action, select Open URL. Enter the PowerApps url. In this case I want it to open up as embedded rather than popping up with a new window. Run your distribution job to have it show up on POS. Below is an example I am working on. We have an external system managing licensing. Just note, that it will pop up with a Microsoft login screen. You can tick the login to remember you. If the screen doesn’t fit in the POS window. You can click on “Fit to screen” on the top right. Hope this gives you ideas to take advantage of in Retail space. Possibilities are endless.
