Setup

Set up a fully populated fashion demo environment using the BE-terna Fashion Demo Dataset.

Purpose

This app generates a complete set of fashion-industry-specific demo data for the BE-terna Fashion solution in Business Central.

It builds directly on Microsoft’s Contoso Coffee Demo Framework and extends it with realistic content tailored to the fashion industry like colors, sizes, brands, seasons, and everything else that makes fashion tick.

Note: The setup wizard is currently only available in German. The screenshots and option labels below refer to the German UI.
