Connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM and Microsoft Power BI

Connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM and Microsoft Power BI for a company could enable the transfer of operational and financial data into a centralized analytics platform. This would support the creation of custom dashboards and reports, giving decision makers improved visibility into business performance based on real-time or regularly updated information from Dynamics 365 F&SCM.

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

Why connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM and Microsoft Power BI?

A company that runs both Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM and Microsoft Power BI could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable direct data exchange. Such a connection could allow operational and financial data managed in Dynamics 365 F&SCM to be made available for reporting, analysis, and visualization in Power BI. Without this connection, staff may need to manually export data from Dynamics 365 F&SCM and import it into Power BI, which can lead to duplicate data entry, inconsistencies between datasets, and decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. Over time, the risk of records drifting apart increases as changes made in one system are not automatically reflected in the other. Common types of data that could be exchanged include sales figures, inventory levels, procurement details, financial transactions, and other business performance indicators. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM and Microsoft Power BI 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.
