MEGABAU 365 role center extensions - additions to the existing MEGABAU role centers MB Role Ctr - Mach. MgtMGB and MB Role Center - ManagerMGB and to their activity parts.
Standard Business Central extensions - additions to the standard Purchasing Agent Role Center and to the Profile Card that is used to configure role centers/profiles.
