How Do I Map the Client-Provided GL Accounts in Business Central for Our Shopify Integration?

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU06081136-2 4

We have integrated Shopify with Business Central using the official Microsoft BC connector, and our client (Darco Direct, Inc.) has provided their live General Ledger accounts:

  • 1200 – Accounts Receivable
  •  
  • 1300 – Inventory
  •  
  • 2370 – Accrued Sales Tax
  •  
  • 3000 – Sales
  •  
  • 3200 – Discounts Given
  •  
  • 4000 – Cost of Goods Sold
  •  
  • 6205 – Freight Income

 

What are the exact steps in Business Central to configure these account numbers so that:

  1. Sales, Sales Credit Memos, and Discounts post to 3000 / 3000 / 3200 via General Posting Setup?
  2.  
  3. Inventory Adjustments and COGS post to 1300 / 4000 via Inventory Posting Setup?
  4.  
  5. Sales Tax Accrual posts to 2370 via VAT (Sales Tax) Posting Setup?
  6.  
  7. Freight Income (Shopify shipping fees) posts to 6205 – Freight Income (either by creating a “Freight” service item or via connector freight-mapping settings)?

 

A step-by-step guide (with screenshots or menu paths) would be greatly appreciated to ensure our connector routes each transaction type to the proper GL account.

    1. General Posting Setup (Sales, Credit Memos, Discounts)
    Purpose:
    Map Sales (3000), Sales Credit Memos (3000), and Discounts Given (3200).
    Steps:
    1. Search for "General Posting Setup".
    2. Ensure the correct Combination of Gen. Bus. Posting Group (e.g., DOMESTIC) and Gen. Prod. Posting Group (e.g., RETAIL, WHOLESALE) exists.
    3. Set:
      • Sales Account → 3000
      • Sales Credit Memo Account → 3000
      • Sales Discount Account → 3200
     You may need to configure Gen. Bus. Posting Groups and Gen. Prod. Posting Groups under respective pages if not already set.
    2. Inventory Posting Setup (Inventory & COGS)
    Purpose:
    Map Inventory (1300) and COGS (4000).
    Steps:
    1. Search for "Inventory Posting Setup".
    2. Ensure the correct combination of:
      • Inventory Posting Group (e.g., FINISHED)
      • Location Code (e.g., SHOPIFY)
    3. Set:
      • Inventory Account → 1300
      • COGS Account → 4000
    Ensure the Inventory Posting Group is assigned to the items synced from Shopify.
    3. VAT Posting Setup (Sales Tax Accrual)
    Purpose:
    Map Sales Tax Accrual (2370).
    Steps:
    1. Search for "VAT Posting Setup".
    2. Ensure the correct combination of:
      • VAT Bus. Posting Group (e.g., DOMESTIC)
      • VAT Prod. Posting Group (e.g., TAXABLE)
    3. Set:
      • Sales VAT Account → 2370
     Make sure the VAT Prod. Posting Group is assigned to taxable items and the VAT Bus. Posting Group is assigned to customers.
    4. Freight Income Mapping (6205)
    Option A: Create a Freight Service Item
    1. Go to Items → Create a new Non-Inventory Item:
      • Type: Service
      • Description: Freight
      • Assign Gen. Prod. Posting Group → FREIGHT
    2. Go to General Posting Setup:
      • Add a row for FREIGHT + DOMESTIC
      • Set Sales Account → 6205
    Option B: Connector Freight Mapping
    1. Open Shopify Connector Setup.
    2. Look for Shipping Fee Mapping or Freight Income Mapping.
    3. Assign the GL Account 6205 directly if supported.
     Connector behavior may vary slightly depending on version. Confirm freight mapping options in the connector documentation or setup wizard.
     Final Checklist
