Connect cXML and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Connecting cXML and Microsoft Dynamics NAV for a company could support the transfer of procurement data between purchasing platforms and the ERP system. This could allow for automated exchange of purchase orders, invoices, and other transaction documents, improving process efficiency and reducing manual entry. Careful mapping of document formats and business rules would be required.

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

Why connect cXML and Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

A company that uses both cXML and Microsoft Dynamics NAV could benefit from connecting these systems to allow data to move between them automatically. Such a connection could reduce the need for manual entry of information in both platforms, which often leads to errors, delays, and extra work. Without a connection, staff may need to re-enter purchase orders, invoices, or supplier information in each system, increasing the risk that records in one system do not match those in the other. This can result in inconsistent data, with figures becoming outdated or incorrect, which can affect reporting and decision-making. If these systems were connected, common types of data that could be exchanged include purchase orders, invoices, order confirmations, and shipping notifications. For example, cXML is widely used for exchanging procurement documents, while Microsoft Dynamics NAV is known as an ERP system that manages finance, supply chain, and operations. Exchanging data between these systems could help ensure that information about orders and payments stays accurate and current in both places, reducing the risk of mismatched records and helping teams work more efficiently. 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 NAV 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.
