Connect EDI Broker and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Connecting an EDI Broker and Microsoft Dynamics NAV for a company could enable automated exchange of business documents such as purchase orders and invoices between trading partners and the ERP system. This could reduce manual data entry, help maintain data consistency, and improve the speed of order processing and financial reconciliation.

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

Why connect EDI Broker and Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

A company operating both an EDI Broker and Microsoft Dynamics NAV could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data to flow automatically between them. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information into both platforms, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. This manual process can also result in records that become inconsistent between the systems, making it difficult to maintain a clear and accurate view of business operations. Decisions made on the basis of outdated or mismatched data could negatively affect customer service, inventory management, and financial reporting. If these two systems were connected, they could exchange information such as purchase orders, invoices, shipment notifications, and inventory updates, depending on the business processes in place. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system allows to be accessed or updated through its API, and this must be determined for each individual 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 EDI Broker 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.
