Business Central and Multiplexing Licensing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

My prospect is implementing a stand alone WMS system .  They are a 3PL so offering warehousing services to their customers and get billed through this standalone WMS.  BC is being implemented as a finance only system.  No inventory, no sales invoices, no procurement, etc.  Just AP, AR, GL, Bank, FA.

 The WMS system will be generating invoices.  The prospect would like the generated invoices to come over to Business Central so they can collect payments from customers against the uploaded Sales Invoice.  I envision this as being a excel file or some other files generated by the WMS to be uploaded to Business Central through standard file import functionality.  The only info possibly to be exchanged between BC and the WMS may be downloading the BC customer table to excel and offering that to the WMS to pickup and do whatever updates they need to inside their WMS to keep the customer file in sync between the 2 systems.

 The users in WMS will NOT be users in BC in any way or not have any interaction with BC.  

 I am struggling to see where/why multiplexing come into play here as there is no direct connection to the WMS from BC or vice verse.  No users in the WMS would be users in BC as far as I know.  I am not familiar with the intricacies of multiplexing as we have NEVER has an opportunity where this applied. 

 If you cant answer can you point me to someone who can.  Our LAR does not have anyone who can answer this for me.

any direction is greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi

    Please review this link   download.microsoft.com/.../Licensing_Brief_PLT_Multiplexing.pdf

    In page 7 link described similar scenario and mention this is not Multiplexing

    "Scenario: User A is appropriately licensed and wants to distribute data to colleagues (unlicensed) and import the

    modified data back to the originating service.

    Example 1

    User A manually exports data from Dataverse and uploads to external storage location or sends data via email to

    colleagues. The colleagues consume/edit data. User A manually imports the data back to Dataverse.

    Not Multiplexing: Since User A is manually performing all steps in the distribution of data, and they have the

    appropriate licenses, it does not matter of who they are sending data to. "
