How to integrate with D365 F&O from an external application

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I need suggestions for a Dynamics 365 F&O integration.

I dont have any experience with integrating with dynamics 365 Finance and Operations and we have a new prospect that will require such and an integration.

I have read on SO and on Microsofts site but its hard to know what solution to dive deeper with.

What we want to do is both read, write and update information in D365. D365 will be the owner of all data, but we have an other application that will use the data and create some data.

For example, we want to read customer information, update customer information, read orders (not sure if the term is sale/purchase-order), update orders and in some cases create orders from the other application. There is more data that we want to CRUD, but orders would be the main thing, the rest of the data is more metadata.

What is your suggestions on what path to go with to solve this problem?

The research I have done seems to point to a OData integration, or maybe a Azure Service Bus integration. But from the documentation I cant figure out if there is a existing API in D365 that I can use right away or if I need to develop/define the API myself inside D365.

Any suggestions and tips on what's the best way forward is much appreciated. If possible some pros/cons with different solutions also.

    Hi. I went through those links but still could not figure out how to sign up for a Tier1 development enviroment.

    What kind of subscription do i need? As of now i only have a normal developer account. I cant see that i have access to anything D365.

    And where do i sign up for that? Sorry for all the questions!

    Hi Andres,

    Yes of course, 

    • Tier-1 environment: Develop and test – One develop/test instance is provided for the duration of the subscription. This instance is a non-production single-box instance that the customer can use as a development environment, automated build and test environment, or golden configuration environment. Additional develop/test instances can be purchased separately as an optional add-on.

    • Tier-2 environment: Standard Acceptance Testing – One Standard Acceptance Testing (UAT) instance is provided for the duration of the subscription. This instance is a non-production multi-box instance that customers can use for UAT, integration testing, and training. Additional sandbox/staging instances can be purchased separately as an optional add-on.

    Hi thanks for those links. I found the github documentation link from following your first link, that helped alot.

    Followup question. Is it possible to set up a dev enviroment (developer edition) of an Azure D365 F&O enviroment (free/trial) that i can play around with? Or do we need to pay for a real version? I have seen hits about this but i cant find anything concrete.
