Build Your Own D365 Finance Sales Agent: Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

In many organizations, the creation of a quote remains a manual process, dependent on the availability of sales or ADV teams and their mastery of D365 Finance. Checking prices, controlling commercial agreements, applying discounts, then creating a compliant quote are repetitive tasks, time consuming and sources of errors.
With the arrival of MCP Dynamics 365 ERP and Copilot agents, it becomes possible to fully automate these steps and transform a traditionally cumbersome process into a smooth and instant experience.
