New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2: Use New Dedicated APIs for Financial Reporting

This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2.

The second of the new functionality in the Reporting section is use new dedicated APIs for financial reporting.

With dedicated APIs for finance reporting, it’s easier to create your own Excel-based financial reports. You can also consume the APIs in Power BI through the Business Central Power BI Connector.

Enabled for: users, automatically
General Availability: October 2022

The new APIs and datasets are created for selected data. The first datasets dedicated consist of data for:

• General Ledger data, including G/L budgets and Dimensions.
• Accounting Periods and Business Units.
• Customers, Vendors, and Ledger entries, including detailed Ledger entries.
• Webhook subscriptions and entity definitions.
• With these APIs it’s easy to get data from Business Central for financial reporting in Excel, Power BI, or other reporting tools.

The APIs can be found under Advanced APIs and are called reportsFinance/beta.
