Example workflow

Customer reporting workflow

Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.

Starting eventA change involving Dynamics 365 F&O Customers or the proposed customer table in SQL Server needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and the proposed customer table in SQL Server. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.

  3. 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.

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 SQL Server

Put your Dynamics 365 F&O and SQL Server 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 SQL Server workflow to test, define what success looks like, and decide who handles failed updates.

  • Give legacy applications live F&O data through familiar SQL Server Schemas instead of OData calls.

  • Power custom portals that read and write Sales Orders via SQL Server while F&O remains the system of record.

  • Retire point-to-point ERP extracts by maintaining one synced set of F&O Tables in SQL Server.

What records can you sync?

Start with the records your workflow needs. Check each system’s read and write requirements before mapping fields.

Compare integration approaches

Use Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and SQL Server Proposed customer table in SQL Server (choose its name) for the first pilot. Verify its identity and permitted direction, then add dependent records only when the acceptance checks pass.

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 SQL Server 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 / Proposed customer table in SQL Server (choose its name), update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Dynamics 365 F&O and SQL Server 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 / SQL Server 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 reporting workflow

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 Proposed customer table in SQL Server (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Customers and SQL Server Proposed customer table in SQL Server (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
  3. 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.

Customer invoice reporting workflow

Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.

Starting event: A change to the selected Customer Invoices or Proposed customer invoice table in SQL Server (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Customer Invoices and SQL Server Proposed customer invoice table in SQL Server (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve the customer or supplier, account codes, tax, currency, and accounting period before posting.
  3. 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 a posted invoice, a partial payment, tax rounding, and a closed accounting period. Compare financial totals within the same entity and currency.

If it fails: Determine whether a transaction posted before retrying. Follow the approved adjustment process for posted records.

Supplier bill reporting workflow

Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.

Starting event: A change to the selected Vendor Invoices or Proposed supplier bill table in SQL Server (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Dynamics 365 F&O Vendor Invoices and SQL Server Proposed supplier bill table in SQL Server (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve supplier, expense/account codes, entity, currency, and accounting period before bill lines.
  3. 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 a duplicate supplier document number in another entity, a partially paid bill, and a closed period.

If it fails: Verify whether the bill was approved or posted before retrying; use the approved adjustment process for posted bills.

Reconcile Dynamics 365 F&O business records with SQL Server

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 a selected destination dataset.

  1. Select Customers or Vendors with the correct legal entity, period, and currency.
  2. Define a reporting relationship in SQL Server; do not equate customer records, ledger accounts, and posted transactions.
  3. 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 / Proposed customer table in SQL Server (choose its name)

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.

Customer Invoices / Proposed customer invoice table in SQL Server (choose its name)

Test case

Test a posted invoice, a partial payment, tax rounding, and a closed accounting period. Compare financial totals within the same entity and currency.

Expected result

The expected customer invoice relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Vendor Invoices / Proposed supplier bill table in SQL Server (choose its name)

Test case

Test a duplicate supplier document number in another entity, a partially paid bill, and a closed period.

Expected result

The expected supplier bill relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Sales Orders / Proposed sales order table in SQL Server (choose its name)

Test case

Test a multi-line order, a partial cancellation, and two partial shipments. Compare line totals as well as the header.

Expected result

The expected sales order 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 SQL Server Proposed customer table in SQL Server (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.
