    Hi there 👋

    Thanks for your question!

    If you're trying to migrate time entries from Dynamics 365 to Business Central using Power Automate, and you're not seeing the Timesheet table available, here are a few things to check:

    ✅ Connector Limitations

    • The standard Business Central connector in Power Automate may not expose all tables, especially custom or module-specific ones like Timesheets.
    • You might need to use OData or API pages to access the Timesheet data.

    ✅ Enable API Page for Timesheets

    • In Business Central, check if there's an API page published for Timesheets. If not, you may need to create a custom API page to expose the data.
    • Go to Web Services in BC and verify if the Timesheet table is listed and published.

    ✅ Use Custom Connector (if needed)

    • If the standard connector doesn’t meet your needs, you can build a custom connector in Power Automate using the OData URL or a custom API endpoint.

    ✅ Permissions

    • Ensure your user account has the necessary permissions to access Timesheet data via Power Automate.

    Hope this helps!

    You have to create a custom API for this.

    Yes, you need to customize an API first.
    Power Automate can only access APIs that are open in the BC environment.
    For example,

    You can access the BC Data if you have an API endpoint, if the endpoint is not available you need to create a custom API for that table, below is an example how to create it.

    In Business Central, the Timesheet tables are not exposed in the standard APIs or Power Automate connector. That’s why you don’t see them when trying to load data.
     
    To migrate timesheet entries, you have two options:
     
    Use the Configuration Packages in BC to import data directly into the Timesheet tables.
     
    Or create a custom API (AL extension) to expose the Timesheet tables, then connect Power Automate to it.
     
     
    Out of the box, Power Automate won’t list the Timesheet table.

    Hi, 
     
    The out-of-the-box Business Central connector in Power Automate does not include the Timesheet table as a standard data source. To upload time entries, you must use the Time Registration Entry API or create a custom API page and then connect via OData or a custom connector in Power Automate.
    Relevant links:
    1. Check if the API timeRegistrationEntries is enabled:
      Time Registration Entry API
    2. If not available, create and publish a custom API page:
      Develop a Custom API for Business Central
    3. Use OData Web Services or a custom connector in Power Automate:
      OData Web Services in Business Central
    4. Power Automate integration overview:

    Hi,

    The issue you're encountering is a common one when working with Power Automate and BC: not all tables are exposed by default through the standard connector. The Timesheet table is one such example, it’s not available unless explicitly published as a web service or exposed via a custom API page.

    Here’s how to resolve it:

    1. Confirm Table Availability in Web Services
      • Go to BC > Web Services and search for any published page or query related to Timesheets. If it’s not listed, you’ll need to create a custom API page.
         
    2. Create a Custom API Page for Timesheets
      • Use AL to define a new page with PageType = API. Include the relevant fields (e.g., Time Entry Date, Resource No., Quantity, Description) and publish it via Web Services. Example:
          
        al
page 50100 "Time Entry API"
{
    PageType = API;
    SourceTable = "Time Entry";
    APIPublisher = 'yourpublisher';
    APIGroup = 'timesheet';
    APIVersion = 'v1.0';
    EntityName = 'timeentry';
    EntitySetName = 'timeentries';

    layout
    {
        area(content)
        {
            repeater(Group)
            {
                field("Entry No."; "Entry No.") { }
                field("Date"; "Date") { }
                field("Resource No."; "Resource No.") { }
                field("Quantity"; "Quantity") { }
                field("Description"; "Description") { }
            }
        }
    }
}

         
    3. Register the API Page in Web Services
      • Once deployed, go to Web Services and ensure the new API page is published. You’ll then be able to access it via Power Automate using the OData URL or the BC connector.
         
    4. Use Power Automate to Connect
      • In Power Automate, use the HTTP connector or a custom connector to call the endpoint. Alternatively, if the API page is exposed correctly, it may appear under the BC connector’s available tables.
         
    5. Permissions Check
      • Ensure your user has permission to access the Time Entry table and the custom API page. Assign appropriate permission sets if needed.
