Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Microsoft Power Bi
Put DEAR Inventory's records into Microsoft Power Bi as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Microsoft Power Bi computes back where DEAR Inventory can use them.
Microsoft Power Bi is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into DEAR Inventory, so DEAR Inventory always reflects the current state of Microsoft Power Bi — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.
ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether DEAR Inventory carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Microsoft Power Bi, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.
Common use cases
- 01 Read Users and workspace access for periodic access reviews reconciled against an HR or Microsoft Entra ID source of record.
- 02 Mirror Workspaces, Reports, Dashboards, and Dataset metadata into a catalog database so teams discover Power BI content from a central index.
- 03 Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
- 04 Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
Common sync patterns
Where DEAR Inventory is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis
Worker and organization data from DEAR Inventory syncs into Microsoft Power Bi for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.
Write-back where DEAR Inventory exposes writable fields: segments and scores return
Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Microsoft Power Bi sync onto the matching records in DEAR Inventory, so operations act on what the analysis found.
Where DEAR Inventory holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data
Financial records from DEAR Inventory land in Microsoft Power Bi as they change, so revenue, margin, and spend dashboards read current figures rather than last night's export.
What you can sync between DEAR Inventory and Microsoft Power Bi
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| DEAR Inventory objects | Microsoft Power Bi objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. | Dashboards and Tiles Dashboards and their pinned tiles read via GET /dashboards and /dashboards/{id}/tiles; inventoried to map dashboard content back to its source datasets. | Customers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Dashboards and Tiles to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. | Dataflows Power Query ETL definitions read via GET /groups/{id}/dataflows; used to document lineage from upstream sources into datasets. | Suppliers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Dataflows to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. | Datasources and Gateways The connections behind datasets and dataflows and the on-premises gateways serving them, read via REST for lineage and dependency mapping. | Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Datasources and Gateways to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. | Refresh History Dataset refresh runs read via GET /datasets/{id}/refreshes, including status, type, and timing, to alert on failed or slow scheduled refreshes. | Assemblies / Production is specific to DEAR Inventory and Refresh History to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. | Workspaces (Groups) Containers for content read via GET /groups (tenant-wide via GET /admin/groups); mirrored to reproduce the tenant's content hierarchy in a catalog. | Locations is specific to DEAR Inventory and Workspaces (Groups) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Products SKU records with pricing, suppliers, and bill-of-material links; the master data most syncs start from. | Activity Events (Audit Log) Admin audit log of user and content actions read via GET /admin/activityevents; loaded for security, access, and usage reporting across the tenant. | Products is specific to DEAR Inventory and Activity Events (Audit Log) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between DEAR Inventory and Microsoft Power Bi
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
DEAR Inventory Microsoft Power Bi Sub-second propagation
DetectionDEAR Inventory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with modified-since filters.
DeliveryMicrosoft Power Bi does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Microsoft Power Bi's output flows back as field updates on the originating DEAR Inventory records.
Microsoft Power Bi DEAR Inventory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Microsoft Power Bi for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to DEAR Inventory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- DEAR Inventory: Subject to the platform's per-account API rate limits.
- Microsoft Power Bi: Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.
