CRM to Business Central custom integration of GUID field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jazzy4321 26

I have an integration between CRM and Business Central (both online) and it's working great for data types that are the same in both systems. I would like to sync a lookup field (guid) from CRM to Business Central by passing the name in the lookup field (custom mapping) to a text field in BC. I have the following in a table extension:

field(60120; new_University; Guid)
        {
            ExternalName = 'new_university';
            ExternalType = 'Lookup';
            Description = '';
            Caption = 'University';
            TableRelation = "CRM Account".AccountId;
        }
and i want to create an entry in the Integration Table Mapping for Customer. I have other fields working just fine, but can't figure out the best way to sync this lookup field.
Thanks.

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    www.dynamicsuser.net/.../14

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    You have to use the OnAfterResetCustomerAccountMapping event with codeunit "CDS Setup Defaults" and define the fields there whichever you want to transfer into BC central Table.

        [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"CDS Setup Defaults", 'OnAfterResetCustomerAccountMapping', '', true, true)]
        local procedure HandleOnAfterResetCustomerAccountMapping(IntegrationTableMappingName: Code[20])
        var
            CDSAccount: Record "CRM Account";
            CustomerRec: Record Customer;
            IntegrationFieldMapping: Record "Integration Field Mapping";
        begin
            //CDSAccountID for Customer
            InsertIntegrationFieldMapping(IntegrationTableMappingName, CustomerRec.FieldNo("NXN CDS Account ID"), CDSAccount.FieldNo(AccountId), IntegrationFieldMapping.Direction::Bidirectional, '', true, false);
            InsertIntegrationFieldMapping(IntegrationTableMappingName, CustomerRec.FieldNo("No."), CDSAccount.FieldNo(ceda_BC), IntegrationFieldMapping.Direction::Bidirectional, '', true, false);
        end;

    I am able to do this for a variety of fields, but when i map a lookup from CRM it brings the GUID. I would like to get the name in the lookup and insert into a custom text field BC. Not sure how to do this or if there is a better way.

    Hi Jazzy,

     

    You can achieve the above requirement by making the fieldclass property to FlowField and default a calcformula which then uses your GUID field for lookup.

     

    Please see the below image.

            field(21; OwningBusinessUnit; GUID)
        {
            ExternalName = 'owningbusinessunit';
            ExternalType = 'Lookup';
            ExternalAccess = Read;
            Description = 'Unique identifier for the business unit that owns the record';
            Caption = 'Owning Business Unit';
            TableRelation = "CRM BusinessUnit".BusinessUnitId;
        }
        field(24; OwningBusinessUnitName; Text[160])
        {
            FieldClass = FlowField;
            CalcFormula = lookup("CRM BusinessUnit".Name where(BusinessUnitId = field(OwningBusinessUnit)));
            ExternalName = 'owningbusinessunitname';
            ExternalType = 'String';
            ExternalAccess = Read;
        }
