Connect cXML and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC

Connecting cXML and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC for a company could support the automation of procurement transactions and the exchange of business documents between trading partners. This connection could enable the transfer of purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices, helping to streamline processes and improve data accuracy between procurement and financial systems.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between cXML and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect cXML and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC?

A company that uses both cXML and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC could benefit from connecting these systems to allow data to flow between them. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information into both systems, which increases the risk of mistakes and wastes time. Records that exist in both places could become inconsistent, with updates made in one system not reflected in the other. This could result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data, which can affect business performance and customer satisfaction. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of data such as purchase orders, invoices, shipment notifications, and payment information. In the case of cXML, which is widely used for electronic procurement, the data exchanged would often relate to procurement documents and transaction details. Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC, as an ERP platform, handles a wide range of business data, including financials, inventory, and sales transactions. The specific data exchanged would depend on the business processes in place and the requirements for each system to stay up to date. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what cXML and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
