Integration in Business Central with Dataverse/ Common Data Services/ Dynamics 365 Sales/ Power Apps

In this post I will discuss about how we can Synchronize data to Custom Tables using Dataverse.

This post is divided in series of small posts, one post for each involved step.

You follow each post link in sequence and at end we will achieve the final Goal set in starting of this post. 

This post will walkthrough setting up an integration between a Custom table Prospects in Business Central and a Custom table Prospects in Microsoft Dataverse.

One thing important keep in mind while doing all the steps we need to use the Admin login you used to setup these environments.

Also, the Base Currency of Business Central & Dataverse Environment should be same else you will run into issue.

If the currencies of Business Central and Dataverse do not match, similar message will be displayed.

LCY Code XXX does not match ISO Currency Code XXX of the Dataverse base currency.

The Base Currency defined for Dataverse after setup is not possible to change however you can match it in Business Central by changing LCY Code in General Ledger Setup.
