Summary
New-UnifiedEnvironment always creates the environment with:
templates = @("D365_DeveloperEdition")That template ID is not in Microsoft’s documented unified ERP template list. Documented IDs are:
| Template ID |
Display name |
D365_FinOps_Finance |
Finance (preview) |
D365_FinOps_SCM |
Supply Chain Management (preview) |
D365_FinOps_ProjOps |
Project Operations Integrated (preview) |
D365_FinOps_Commerce |
Commerce (preview) — trials only |

Observed impact
Provisioning with New-UnifiedEnvironment can yield a Power Platform sandbox that reaches Ready without a successfully provisioned Finance and Operations workload (e.g., FinOpsApp remains empty), consistent with not using a documented FinOps ERP template on creation.
API note (single template)
The create API field is typed as string[] / PowerShell -Templates <String[]>, but for FinOps ERP templates Microsoft’s guidance and examples use one template ID per environment (e.g. D365_FinOps_Finance). This issue proposes keeping that single-template model.
Actual code
In d365bap.tools/functions/New-UnifiedEnvironment.ps1:
linkedEnvironmentMetadata = @{
...
templates = @("D365_DeveloperEdition")
}Used for both -Type USE and -Type UDE. No way to select a documented FinOps template, and no create-time TemplateMetadata / PostProvisioningPackages for msdyn_FinanceAndOperationsProvisioningAppAnchor.
Suggested change
- Replace
D365_DeveloperEdition with a documented FinOps template (default: D365_FinOps_Finance).
- Optionally add a
-Template parameter validated to one of the documented FinOps template IDs.
- On create, pass
TemplateMetadata with PostProvisioningPackages for msdyn_FinanceAndOperationsProvisioningAppAnchor, mapping USE/UDE → DevToolsEnabled and -NoDemoDb → DemoDataEnabled, per Microsoft’s tutorial.
P.S. I am going to create a PR with a fix
