•Used MS SQL Server in the back end, Beyond Compare and Kdiff3 for the merging objects.
Challenges Encountered

• Need to convert whole customization from C/AL code to AL Extension in Business Central.
• Direct access of the database in the Business Central SaaS model was also not available. So, the challenge is to migrate data from the on-premises SQL server to Business Central.
• They need to send the invoices in a specific XML format from the business central to the third-party solution as well as need to get an acknowledgment of it. Apart from this an automatic test app without user interaction that can do a full auto-testing of the main customized business transactions.
