New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1: Use Logiq as a Service Provider for E-Documents

Thursday 10th Apr 2025Friday 28th Mar 2025 Ian Grieve4 minute read0 comment

This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1.

The 1st of the new functionality in the E-Documents section is use Logiq as a service provider for e-documents.

With multiple external service provider options available for electronic invoice exchanges during business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-government (B2G) communication, businesses can now select the provider that best aligns with their specific needs. This flexibility enhances operational efficiency, reduces costs, and mitigates risks associated with a dependency on a single provider. Businesses can improve their invoice processing times, ensure compliance with diverse regulatory requirements, and streamline their financial workflows.

Feature Details

You have more options to use as access points for electronic invoicing because Microsoft have added more electronic document service providers to Business Central. Now, in addition to Avalara and Pagero, you can choose the Logiq connector for your electronic invoicing.

You can choose new options as the Service Integration endpoints on the E-Document Service page. After you select Logiq as a service provider and consent to using third-party systems, you set up the connection. To set up the connection, use the Setup Service Integration action to configure the credentials and API URLs.

By integrating the new service provider, you can automate the receipt and delivery of electronic invoices. The provider serves as the endpoint for e-document exchanges. This automation streamlines invoice management, reduces manual processing errors, and accelerates transaction times, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and boosting overall productivity.

Although the E-Document Services page has several global service integrations already, partners can easily add their own to the list by publishing a connector app on AppSource following Microsoft’s technical documentation.

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1: Use the Latest Update for the Shopify Connector

Thursday 10th Apr 2025Friday 28th Mar 2025 Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

The 16th of the new functionality in the E-commerce section is use the latest update for the Shopify connector.

The latest update for the Shopify connector includes changes from Shopify, such as bulk variant handling and new product information management. In addition, Microsoft have added multiple enhancements based on feedback from Microsoft’s community.

General Availability: Apr 2025

Feature Details

Shopify releases a new API version every three months at the beginning of the quarter, and supports each version for 12 months. The updated versions might contain important changes, so it’s important to uptake Shopify API versions in major releases of Business Central. Typically, new versions of APIs increase stability and security, and enable additional capabilities. Starting with this release, the Shopify connector uses the Shopify API that was released in January 2025.

Important

The Shopify connector released in 2024 release wave 2 (October 2024) relies on API 2024-07, which is supported until July 1, 2025. To continue to use your integration, upgrade to the latest version of Business Central before this date.

Bulk updates of product variants

Shopify deprecated singular product variants in favor of their equivalent bulk versions. Now, the Shopify connector creates or updates variants in bulk. That change improves overall performance of the connector because hundreds of updates happen in a single call. This change affects the initial creation of products with variants or scheduled updates of Shopify products and variants.

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1: Import and Export More Data for Shopify B2B Companies and Company Locations

Thursday 10th Apr 2025Friday 28th Mar 2025 Ian Grieve4 minute read0 comment

The 15th of the new functionality in the E-commerce section is import and export more data for Shopify B2B companies and company locations.

To enhance e-commerce efficiency and reliability, Microsoft have expanded the amount of information Shopify and Business Central can exchange in B2B scenarios. The Shopify Connector now imports all company locations, including payment terms and tax IDs, which it can use for automatic entity mapping. When exporting data to Shopify, the tax ID, company ID, and company/attention details are included in the sync to improve order information and traceability. The automatic creation of catalogs now ensures consistent pricing across both Shopify and Business Central.

Feature Details

Microsoft have improved how they handle company details for B2B scenarios. Microsoft continue to enhance the integration between Shopify and Business Central, aiming to provide exceptional service to your B2B customers.

When you import a company from Shopify, you also import all of its locations, which you can access on the Shopify Locations page. You can open the page from the Shopify Companies and Shopify Company Card pages.

The first imported location is used to create the customer and add address information and other fields on the customer card. The location is marked as the Default. When you export a customer as a Shopify company, the Shopify Connector creates one company location. In Business Central, this location is marked as the Default.
