In this chapter, we have learned what Architectural Patterns are, and how to implement them in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. We have covered nine patterns that cover more than 95 percent of the tables that are defined with the standard application.

Using Architectural Patterns helps us to define tables when building our applications that others will recognize. This creates a common syntax within the community, and reduces the learning curve when bringing in new developers and architects.

In the next chapter, we will implement Design Patterns that will add elements to Architectural Patterns that define the usability of the application.
