Connect Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Connecting Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics NAV for a company could enable the automated exchange of business documents such as orders, invoices, and shipping notices. This integration would require mapping data formats between Edifact's EDI standards and Dynamics NAV's system fields, ensuring accuracy and compliance with business and regulatory requirements throughout the data transfer process.

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

Why connect Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

A company that operates both Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics NAV could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and reliable data exchange. Without such a connection, staff may have to enter the same information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. This manual process can also lead to data inconsistencies, where records in one system become outdated or diverge from those in the other, making it difficult for managers to base decisions on the most current figures. If a connection were established, data such as orders, invoices, shipping notifications, and inventory levels could be exchanged automatically between Edifact’s messaging framework and the business management features of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This could reduce duplication, help keep records aligned, and improve overall operational accuracy. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on the capabilities 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 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.
