Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.

The sixth of the new functionality in the Adapt faster with Power Platform section is Synchronize more fields in your integration with Dataverse and Dynamics 365 Sales.

Companies often customize their integration between Business Central and Dataverse or Dynamics 365 to fit their specific business needs. To make that easier to do without help from a developer, Microsoft have made more fields available for mapping in the standard integration table mappings.

Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: –
General Availability: Oct 2023

Feature Details

Microsoft have made more fields available in the standard CUSTOMER, VENDOR, CONTACT, SALESPERSON, and OPPORTUNITY integration table mappings. On the Integration Table Mapping page, you select the table mapping for which you want to enable field mappings by choosing Mapping, and then the Fields action.

Shows additional fields that can be mapped in Integration Field Mapping list

To start synchronizing data from the fields you’ve chosen, change the status of the field to Enabled.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.

The fifth of the new functionality in the Adapt faster with Power Platform section is Power Pages support via Business Central virtual tables on Dataverse.

Power Pages support will enable both anonymous and authenticated external users to perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on Business Central tables that are available as virtual tables in Microsoft Dataverse.

Enabled for: Users by admins, makers, or analysts
Public Preview: Nov 2023
General Availability: –

Feature Details

In many commerce and collaboration scenarios, external users may need to participate in processes that involve Business Central data, such as bidding or onboarding, even if they are not Business Central users. With anonymous access via Power Pages, external users can perform operations on Business Central tables without signing in. Authenticated access via Power Pages requires external users to sign in to perform operations on tables or rows that are accessible to them. Business Central admins can select only the necessary operations, tables, and rows to be enabled for anonymous or authenticated access by external users.

Power Pages support also enables authenticated access by internal or existing Business Central users, similar to authenticated access via Power Apps or Power Automate. Microsoft are excited to announce the preview of this feature and always appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Inventory and Warehouse Management), how do I… series and of the wider In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how do I… series which I am posting as I familiarise myself with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

In a previous article of this series on understanding inventory picks, I mentioned there was three ways in which an inventory pick could be processed:

  1. Process an Inventory Pick from the Source Document
  2. Process Multiple Inventory Picks Using a Batch Job
  3. Process an Inventory Pick in Two Steps by Releasing the Source Document

In this article, I am going to take walk through processing inventory picks using a batch job for the BLUE location on which I enabled Require Pick.

To use the batch job for creating inventory picks, search for the Create Inventory Put-away/Pick/Movement page.

The options on this page will need to be configured to restrict which incoming documents have inventory picks created. I have opted for all (released) sales orders; click OK to create the picks or Schedule to schedule the batch job to run at a designated time:
