Which TAPP Product type for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales?
Bluefort has two different TAPP products for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales. One is called Bluefort TAPP and the other one is called Bluefort TAPP ERP.
Bluefort TAPP
Bluefort TAPP should be deployed when you are using Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE/CRM/Dataverse applications only without integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP. This solution works entirely within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Dataverse/CE .
Bluefort TAPP ERP
If your deployment consists of both Microsoft Dynamics 365 Dataverse/CE and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations / FinOps / FSCM applications then you should deploy Bluefort TAPP ERP. Bluefort TAPP ERP has all the necessary company and dual-write dependencies to communicate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations / FinOps / FSCM applications using Microsoft’s dual-write technology. However, it provides limited functionalities on the CRM side when compared to Bluefort TAPP because it is assumed that the bulk of the financial operations will happen within the ERP system not the CRM side.
Pre-requisites for Bluefort TAPP (no ERP)
In order to successfully deploy this product you need to have a Microsoft Dataverse environment with a database and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service app deployed.

Solution Files
The Bluefort TAPP ERP application is made up of two solutions.
1. The CRM Managed Solution Zip File usually called “BluefortTAPP_X_X_X_X_managed.zip” where X denotes a version/sub-version number.
2. The CRM / Dual Write Mappings & Extensions Zip File usually called “BluefortTAPPERPdualwriteextensions_X_X_X_X_managed.zip” where X denotes a version/sub-version number.
Both need to be installed and configured for the application to work.
Configuration
Upon successful deployment of the solution you should see a new model driven app called Bluefort TAPP in the main menu of Dynamics 365 as shown in the screenshot below.

Assignment of Dataverse (CRM) roles
Once the model driven app is visible in the environment, the next step would be for a user with the System Administrator role to assign other roles to the application so that other non-admin users are able to access the application. This can be done by clicking on the ellipses (3 dots) right above the name of the model driven app (i.e. beneath the Bluefort TAPP logo) and then clicking on Manage Roles in the menu which pops up.

Once this is clicked, a new slider menu is displayed where one can assign which roles can access the Enterprise Subscription Automation model driven app. Both standard CRM roles and custom CRM roles which are specific to the organisation can also be assigned to the application.
