You are not allowed to "modify" the core code per se (at least not without invalidating your support contract), but yes there are "API"s (we also call them interface tables) that allow you to push data into the system. There is a program called ADI that allows accounting to push journals into the system. They can also pull out reports and do data extracts that way.

You are allowed to "add" custom code, mostly in the form of reports. You can install custom forms as well, though what they do cannot be to change core app data. There are some grey areas as well in terms of what you are allowed to do and not allowed to do.

Yes you can customize the apps, whether or not it will be enough for you needs to be investigated further.

Good luck
