Dataverse Connection Setup Coupled Business Unit

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TESDEveloper 12

We are setting up the Dataverse Connection Setup between Business Central and CRM. 

We have a Business Unit in CRM which we would like to use, but Business Central has created a new Business Unit as expected.

Is it possible to change Business Central to look at a different Business Unit? It seems to suggest this is possible here with no indication on how to perform this?

Any help is appreciated.

    Hello,

    If you create a new company in BC, you can logon to that company. From there, search for dataverse conn and next to teams model the business unit can be choosen.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    As soon as I enter a URL into the Dataverse Connection Setup it defaults the Business Unit Group and I cannot edit this. Is that what you experience too?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately not. In SaaS I ran assisted setup and configured Dataverse connection. From there did the necessary, synched all entities. Then I created a new company, after creation / initialization, I changed company via My Settings in BC. From there I reran assisted setup and it defaults to the second Business Unit.

    in CRM, the business unit connects to the same parent business.

    Thanks.
