Connect Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC

Connecting Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC for a company could enable the automated exchange of business documents, such as orders and invoices, between trading partners and internal systems. This would involve mapping data formats, establishing secure data transfer protocols, and ensuring accurate synchronization of information between the two platforms.

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

Why connect Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC?

A company operating both Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC could benefit from enabling data exchange between these two systems. Such a connection could help reduce the need for duplicate data entry, which is a common issue when systems are not linked. Without integration, there is a risk that records in each system diverge over time, leading to inconsistencies and errors that can affect business operations. Decisions made based on outdated or mismatched information could result in operational inefficiencies or missed opportunities. If Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC were connected, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the business processes involved. Commonly, companies look to transfer transactional data, such as sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, and shipment notifications. Master data, such as customer and supplier information, could also be candidates for exchange to maintain consistency across both platforms. The specific data elements that can be shared would depend on the capabilities and data structures of each system. Ultimately, the data that can be exchanged between Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC depends on what each system exposes through its API and 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 Edifact 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.
