How to get PowerApp to link to multiple legal entities in D365FO

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi there,

I've just had my first go at creating a power app to link to D365FO. It was really easy, but only links to the users default entity.

As my company has lots of different companies, I really need it to work across multiple legal entities.

Has anyone had success in doing this and can point me in the right direction?

Thanks

    Hi Alex,

    This used to be one of the limitations. I haven't checked recently if the Finance and Operations connector has been improved for this. As a workaround, you can try to change the default company on the user's record and then continue. You can then provide the users a page to change the company. I haven't tested if this workaround really would be possible.

    Hi Alex 

    It wouldn't work by default it would depend a bit on how your app is retrieving data.

    If you are using an odata query youcan append the ?crosscompany=true tag on it to get data across companies.

    If they are using the F&O connector in PowerApps I don't think that's an option so no in that case it wouldn't work

    Thank you

    If you are using Connector for D65FnO then the behaviour is what you will see. I guess you are building an Canvas App. In this case on the app load you will have to retrive the legal entities and store them in a collection. Along with this you can also get the default company of the logged on user.

    You can then display the legal entities list on a parameter in UI. But from here you will have to depend on Http Calls rather than connector. For any data you display the Http calls has to be modified using legal entitiy selected in drop down  and append it to the Url as "$filter=dataAreaId eq 'usrt'&cross-company=true".

    Hope this helps

    Hi All, many thanks for your answers.

    A bit disappointing it's not a more simple solution but I will try your suggestions above and see where I get to.

    Thanks again

    just met the similar issue. a little shocked that we're not allowed to do that... hopefully MS can amend the problem pretty soon.
