Create connection to integrate and synchronize data with another Dynamics 365 business app, such as Dynamics 365 Sales.

As a first Step we will setup a connection to Dataverse.

• URL for the Dataverse environment that you want to connect to
• The user’s name and password of an account that has administrator permissions in Business Central and Dataverse.
• The local currency for the company in Business Central must be the same as the base transaction currency in Dataverse.

This will start the Setup wizard, just follow and provide your information asked on each page.

Click Next to Start configuring Dataverse & Business Central connection.

Here you can select your Dataverse Environment or can enter manually, above screen shows where you can find this url from.
