Microsoft Dynamics Integrations
Connect Business Central and Dynamics 365 apps with Dataverse, Power Automate, and APIs—secure patterns, governance, and support.
Microsoft Dynamics Integrations
Your business already relies on systems that keep operations running smoothly. As you add a new Microsoft Dynamics solution, those systems need to share information seamlessly. Joesoftware has extensive experience integrating on-premise, cloud, and legacy applications with Microsoft Dynamics GP, Dynamics 365, and Business Central. Our team connects your POS, billing, and inventory platforms, along with other business applications, to keep data accurate, consistent, and easy to access.
Our integrations align the tools your teams already use with the Microsoft ecosystem, ensuring that customers, orders, invoices, inventory, and expenses flow reliably between systems. We use Dataverse synchronization, Power Automate workflows, and Business Central APIs to create near real-time connections that reduce manual work and improve collaboration across finance, operations, and sales. For complex or legacy environments, middleware manages larger data transfers efficiently and supports ongoing stability.
Common Patterns
Business Central and Dynamics 365 Sales Integration
- Accounts/contacts, products, prices, quotes/orders; Dataverse-based mapping.
Banking and Payments
- Bank feeds, remittance/EFT files, reconciliation rules.
Our integrations streamline financial operations by automating bank feeds, remittance and EFT file handling, and reconciliation rules.
E-commerce and Warehouse Management
- Orders, inventory, shipments, returns
Expenses and Document Management
- Expense tools to BC purchase/GL; document capture.
Files and Bulk Loads
- Staged imports for masters and opening balances.
Tooling
Dataverse Synchronization (Business Central Online
- standard tables, company-aware mappings, multi-company option.
Business Central Online supports native Dataverse synchronization, allowing data to flow between standard tables with company-aware mappings and optional multi-company configurations.
Power Automate
- event-driven approvals, notifications, cross-app workflows; runs inside BC and across M365.
Middleware Solutions
- SmartConnect/SSIS toolkits for bulk, change-only, and complex mappings.
Business Central web services/APIs
- modern REST API recommended; OData (legacy) and SOAP still available for certain scenarios.
Security & Governance
Our integration design follows strict security and governance standards. We establish clear environment strategies and dedicated service accounts to manage access safely. API permissions, scopes, and throttling rules are configured with retry policies to ensure stability and control. Error handling, audit logs, and alerting are built into every deployment, supported by clear documentation for both deployment procedures and incident response.

Tooling
BC ↔ Sales orders
- sync customers/items/price lists; Sales creates orders, BC fulfills/bills; Power Automate sends order confirmations.
Sales Orders Integration
E-comm to BC
- orders batched every 5–10 minutes; inventory + shipments return to store; exception queue for backorders.
E-commerce Integration
Orders are imported into Business Central in frequent batches, with inventory and shipment updates returned to the online store and an exception queue managing any backorders.
Expenses to BC
- Expense tool exports → BC purchase journals with dimensions; monthly auto-post with review.

Frequently Asked Questions
We use Dataverse, Microsoft’s standard integration platform, to map entities and synchronize records between Business Central and Dynamics 365 Sales. The integration is company-aware and supports multi-company environments, ensuring data stays accurate and aligned across both systems.
- Yes. Business Central Online includes built-in integration with Power Automate, allowing you to trigger approvals, notifications, and workflows directly from list, card, or document pages and connect processes across other Microsoft 365 applications.
Common integrations include customer and order synchronization between Business Central and Dynamics 365 Sales, automated banking feeds and reconciliations, e-commerce and warehouse management connections, expense reporting into purchasing and general ledger, and document capture solutions. These integrations are often coordinated through Power Automate or middleware for smooth data flow across systems.Do we need a separate license for Power Automate?
Dataverse is Microsoft’s secure data platform that underpins Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform. It standardizes data structures and simplifies how applications such as Business Central, Dynamics 365 Sales, and Power Apps connect and share information, making integrations more consistent, scalable, and easier to manage.
Microsoft recommends using the modern REST API for new integrations. OData is still supported, mainly for legacy or business intelligence scenarios, while SOAP remains available for specific endpoints that require it.
