Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.

The 13th of the new functionality in the Application section is define shipping information for Shopify shipping fees.

Map shipping fee information from Shopify to Business Central more accurately and with more flexibility. You can choose different types of shipping charges, such as G/L account, item, or item charge, and specify the shipping agent and shipping agent service.

Enabled for: Users by admins, makers, or analysts

General Availability: Oct 2024

Feature Details

In addition to the Shipping Charges Account field available on the Shopify Shop Card page, Microsoft are adding Shipping Charges Type and Shipping Charges No fields to the Shopify Shipment Method page. Adding these fields allows you to more precisely map shipping fee information from Shopify to the sales document in Business Central.

You can continue to use the G/L account defined on the Shopify Shop Card page, but if you define a Shipping Charges Type and Shipping Charges No, those values are used instead.

The Shopify Connector now supports the following types:

  • G/L Account
  • Item
  • Item Charge

Item Charge is automatically assigned to all items on the sales document.

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2: Auto-Apply Templates When You Synchronize Data With Dataverse

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.

The 1st of the new functionality in the Adapt faster with Power Platform section is auto-apply templates when you synchronize data with Dataverse.

Businesses often enrich data that’s synchronized between Business Central and Dataverse by using templates that make the data ready to use in either application. Having a configurable, rule-based, and automated way to select the templates to apply when they synchronize data in either direction means you don’t have to extend your integration solutions with such rules, so integration between Business Central, Dataverse, and Dynamics 365 apps is faster and more cost effective.

Feature Details

For example, when you synchronize account data from Dataverse to the customer table in Business Central, you might want to apply different configuration templates for domestic or foreign customers. Configuration templates can contain different posting groups and other settings for the customer records that synchronization creates. The synchronization engine chooses a configuration template based on the country specified for the account record in Dataverse.

On the Integration Table Mapping page, you can specify multiple configuration templates and define filters for when to apply them by choosing the link in the Table Config Template Code and Int. Tbl. Config Template Code fields.

The Table Config Template Code and Int. Tbl. Config Template Code fields show different values depending on the number of templates that you configure for a specific integration table mapping:

  • If you configure a single configuration template, the name of the configuration template shows in order to stay compatible with current capabilities.
  • If you configure multiple configuration templates, the number of configured configuration templates shows.

To set up the configuration template to apply when you synchronize data to Business Central, choose the link in the Table Config Template Code field on an integration table mapping to open the Table Config Templates page. On the Table Config Templates page, you can insert multiple configuration templates, and for each you can specify a Filter that determines which template to apply. The Priority column determines the order in which the filters for each configuration template are evaluated.

Shows Table Config Templates page with Template Code, Filter, and Priority columns

The same applies when you choose a link in the Int. Tbl. Config Template Code field.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis article is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate Actions), how do I… series, a sub-series of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), 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.

There are a number of actions available in Power Automate for Business Central which allow specific actions against the data of Business Central to be performed from within Power Automate.

The 5th action which is available is the Update record (V3) one which allows existing records to be updated.

Within a flow, click the add action button; search for Business Central and select the Business Central icon (make sure you select the SaaS one, which is a dark colour instead of the on-premises one which is mainly white):

Choose an action dialog with Business Central in the search results
