Starting eventA change involving Dynamics 365 F&O Customers or Front Accounts needs a defined result in the other system.
01
Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and Front Accounts. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
02
Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
03
Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
What to verifyTest an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.

Record matchingDetermine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient.
Field ownershipSeparate the customer relationship from contact details, billing authority, and consent. Choose an owner for each field after identifying whether the customer is a person or company.

Field ownershipSeparate the customer relationship from contact details, billing authority, and consent. Choose an owner for each field after identifying whether the customer is a person or company.
Use writable fields from the connected accounts. Read values from read-only fields without writing changes back to them, and define deletion handling separately.
Why teams connect Dynamics 365 F&O and Front
Put your Dynamics 365 F&O and Front data to work
Start with the work your team needs to complete: keep records up to date, make operational data available for reporting, or move data to a new system. Choose one Dynamics 365 F&O and Front workflow to test, define what success looks like, and decide who handles failed updates.
01
Resolve where-is-my-order emails without opening Dynamics 365 F&O.
02
Keep Front Contacts and Accounts aligned with F&O Customers and Vendors as master data changes.
03
Give finance visibility into invoice-related Conversations tied to Customer Invoices.

Setup requirements
Provide the Dynamics environment URL and authorize the Stacksync app with Microsoft sign-in; arrange administrator consent if required.
Enable change tracking for each selected entity and check whether changes in child tables are included.
Limitations to check
Some complex entities cannot enable change tracking. Primary-table tracking does not capture changes in child tables.
OAuth authorization via the Stacksync UI ("Connections" > "create new connection" > "Front" > "Authorize") — no coding required
Change detection
The saved Stacksync guide does not specify the change-detection mechanism. Confirm it for the selected objects.
Read access

Setup requirements
Create a Front connection in Stacksync and complete the authorization flow.
Check the documented Accounts, Contacts, Contact Groups, and Events coverage against the required use case.
Limitations to check
Two-way sync is documented at connector level. The object list does not specify writable fields or change-detection behavior; validate both for the selected records.
Set up both accounts before testing the mapping. Use test records where available, and identify the account administrator who can approve access and help resolve setup errors.
Dynamics 365 F&O setup checklist
Provide the Dynamics environment URL and authorize the Stacksync app with Microsoft sign-in; arrange administrator consent if required.
Enable change tracking for each selected entity and check whether changes in child tables are included.
Record the fields each system can update, the first-load cutoff, both record IDs, the expected update delay, and who handles errors. Complete the tests before production before expanding to more records.
Before linking Dynamics 365 F&O Customers to Front Accounts, check whether the customer is an individual or a company. Match the correct record type in each system.

Object support to establish
Front
Documented record · Supported
Record identity
Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient.
Field ownership
Separate the customer relationship from contact details, billing authority, and consent. Choose an owner for each field after identifying whether the customer is a person or company.
Fields to include
Source customer ID
Person/company classification
Legal entity or business unit
Destination identity reference
Record dependencies
Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
Validation
Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
Recovery
Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.

Stacksync managed sync
Best fit
Two-way sync for supported objects. Choose the records, writable fields, and permissions for your workflow.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.
Native vendor integration
Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Dynamics 365 F&O and Front record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Customers / Accounts, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.
Custom API or workflow
Best fit
Consider when Dynamics 365 F&O and Front need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.
File or scheduled snapshot
Best fit
Consider for a one-time Dynamics 365 F&O / Front migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.
Workflow scenarios and expected results
Customer sync test
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
Starting event: A change to the selected Customers or Accounts record needs a defined result in the other system.
Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and Front Accounts. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
If it fails: Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.

If it fails: Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
Reconcile Dynamics 365 F&O business records with Front
Validate the selected objects and operations even where connector-level direction is documented.
Starting event: A finance-owned record in Dynamics 365 F&O needs operational visibility through Accounts or Contacts.
Select Customers or Vendors with the correct legal entity, period, and currency.
Define a reporting relationship in Front; do not equate customer records, ledger accounts, and posted transactions.
Decide whether the process only reports a financial state or requests an approved accounting action, and maintain a separate transaction ID for each action.
Expected result: Totals reconcile within the same entity/currency/window; a repeated handoff creates no duplicate financial transaction.
If it fails: Verify posting and settlement state before retrying. Use the approved adjustment path for already-posted transactions.
Initial load and acceptance testing
Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.
Customers / Accounts
Test case
Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
Expected result
The expected customer relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Customers / Contacts
Test case
Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
Expected result
The expected customer relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Direction and permissions
Test case
Check that each connected account can read and write the chosen objects. Exercise both directions with a test record before enabling production changes.
Expected result
Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.
Freshness and reconciliation
Test case
Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.
Expected result
The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.
Failed updates, retries and recovery
Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.
Rejected or repeated customer change
Investigate
Inspect Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and Front Accounts, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
Rejected or repeated customer change
Investigate
Inspect Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and Front Contacts, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
A record type or update is unavailable
Investigate
Check the Dynamics 365 F&O and Front connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.
Next action
Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.
Source and destination disagree after a retry
Investigate
Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.
Next action
Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

FAQ
Dynamics 365 F&O and Front integration FAQ
Stacksync connects Dynamics 365 F&O and Front with two-way sync for supported records. Authorize the accounts, select the record types, and map compatible fields. Both connectors support reading and writing; object permissions determine the available fields. Use the Issues dashboard to inspect and resolve rejected updates.
Stacksync supports two-way sync between writable records in both systems. The chosen objects and fields must permit updates in both directions. Read-only fields can supply values but cannot receive updates. Stacksync can read database views; it does not write back to the view.
Prepare both accounts, the selected object schemas, stable source and destination IDs, and the expected outcome. Provide the Dynamics environment URL and authorize the Stacksync app with Microsoft sign-in; arrange administrator consent if required. Create a Front connection in Stacksync and complete the authorization flow. Use the pair worksheet to record ownership and acceptance criteria.
Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
No. Stacksync documents that pre-existing duplicates are not merged automatically when two-way sync begins. Review the initial dataset and matching plan before enabling it; an empty destination can simplify the first load.
Start with one business entity and a stable record ID. Map a small set of editable fields with compatible types, test required values and relationships, then expand after the pilot passes.
Check the destination error, field constraints, permissions, and current source value. The Stacksync issues dashboard supports retry and revert; retry reads current source values, so verify the intended record state before acting.
Use the current Stacksync pricing page and confirm the supported implementation with the team. Scope the required objects, record volume, update frequency, initial load, and support needs when comparing a managed connector with native or custom development.
Start by reviewing Customers in Dynamics 365 F&O and Accounts in Front. Check how these records relate in your workflow, then confirm the actual fields and supported operations. Test record matching and one failed or repeated update before adding more records.
Use Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and Front Accounts for the first pilot. Verify its identity and permitted direction, then add dependent records only when the acceptance checks pass.
