Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (via Apideck)

Access Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central through Apideck's Accounting unified API — one of 34 Accounting connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Access Financials, Acumatica, banqUP and 30 other Accounting connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central plumbing.

When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — for example, "create an invoice in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central" or "reconcile payments in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central". This skill teaches the agent:

1. Which Apideck unified API covers Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Accounting)
2. The correct serviceId to pass on every call (microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central)
3. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central-specific auth and coverage caveats

For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:

• apideck-node, apideck-python, apideck-dotnet, apideck-java, apideck-go, apideck-php, or apideck-rest

For the raw OpenAPI spec:

• Accounting: https://specs.apideck.com/accounting.yml · API Explorer

Minimal example (TypeScript)

import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";

const apideck = new Apideck({
  apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
  appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
  consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});

// List invoices in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({
  serviceId: "microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central",
});

Portable across 34 Accounting connectors

The Apideck Accounting unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to another Accounting connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.

// Today — Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central" });

// Tomorrow — same code, different connector
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "access-financials" });
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "acumatica" });

This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central directly: code against the unified Accounting API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central via Apideck

Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) is Microsoft's SMB ERP, successor to Dynamics NAV. Strong in manufacturing, distribution, and professional services. Not to be confused with Dynamics 365 Finance (enterprise) or Dynamics CRM.

Entity mapping

BC entity	Apideck Accounting resource
Sales Invoice	invoices
Purchase Invoice	bills
Customer Payment	payments
Vendor Payment	bill-payments
Sales Credit Memo	credit-notes
Journal Entry (G/L Entry)	journal-entries
G/L Account	ledger-accounts
Customer	customers
Vendor	suppliers
Item	invoice-items
VAT Posting Setup	tax-rates
Company	companies
Purchase Order	purchase-orders
Dimension	tracking-categories
Location	locations
Attachments	attachments
Expense	expenses
Bank Account	bank-accounts
Employee	employees (HRIS context in some setups)

Coverage highlights

• ✅ Full CRUD on invoices, bills, payments, customers, vendors
• ✅ Purchase orders (ERP grade)
• ✅ Journal entries
• ✅ Multi-company (companies = BC's tenants)
• ✅ Dimensions (tracking categories)
• ✅ Multi-currency and multi-locale
• ⚠️ Manufacturing, warehousing — not in unified; use Proxy
• ❌ Power Automate / Power Apps integrations — outside the API surface

Auth notes

• Type: OAuth 2.0 (Microsoft identity platform), managed by Apideck Vault
• Admin consent on corporate tenants: same caveat as SharePoint — the customer's Microsoft 365 tenant admin must approve the Apideck Vault app. First user in a tenant usually hits "Need admin approval."
• Environment binding: each connection is bound to one environment (Production or Sandbox); user chooses during OAuth.
• Company selection: multi-company BC tenants have one connection but expose multiple companies — Apideck surfaces them via the companies resource, and the user picks which to target per call.

Example: create a sales invoice

const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.create({
  serviceId: "microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central",
  invoice: {
    customer_id: "cust_uuid",
    invoice_date: "2026-04-18",
    due_date: "2026-05-18",
    line_items: [
      { description: "Product A", quantity: 2, unit_price: 499.00 },
    ],
    currency: "USD",
  },
});

Escape hatch: Proxy API

When an endpoint isn't covered by the Accounting unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set x-apideck-downstream-url to the target endpoint on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's own API:

curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-service-id: microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-url: <target endpoint on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central>" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"

See Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's API docs for available endpoints.
