Why teams connect Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Two ERPs, one set of facts: Stacksync keeps Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics NAV consistent in real time, whether they split the business or one is replacing the other.

Companies run two ERPs for structural reasons: a two-tier setup with subsidiaries on lighter systems, an acquisition that brought its own stack, a split by function or region, or a migration that will take quarters. In all of these, some of the same organizations, people, and transactions exist in both systems, and keeping them aligned by hand is a standing tax on the back office.

Stacksync syncs General Ledger Entries, Journals, Dimensions, Payments in Dynamics 365 Business Central with Purchase Orders, G/L Entries, Item Ledger Entries, Dimensions in Microsoft Dynamics NAV bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping across the two data models and conflict rules you define. A record changed in either system is reflected in the other within seconds, not at the next interface run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate GL entries and dimensions into a SQL database for financial reporting without giving analysts ERP logins.
  • 02 Sync vendor and purchase order data with procurement or AP automation tools.
  • 03 Run parallel sync during a NAV-to-Business Central migration so both systems stay usable.
  • 04 Sync customers, items, and orders between NAV and a CRM in both directions.

Common sync patterns

Split by function

Where one system is the people or finance suite and the other runs operations, the records both sides depend on, such as organizations, cost centers, and reference data, stay in agreement.

Two-tier roll-up

Where subsidiaries run one system and headquarters runs the other, shared records and transactions flow up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Migration in parallel

When one system is replacing the other, run both fully live during the transition and cut over without a data freeze.

What you can sync between Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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.

Dynamics 365 Business Central objects Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects How this pairing syncs
Customers Core master data synced with CRMs so sales and finance share one customer list. Customers Customer cards synced with CRMs so sales sees ERP balances and terms. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Vendors Supplier master data synced with procurement and AP automation tools. Vendors Vendor cards aligned with procurement and AP tools. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Items Product and inventory records aligned with e-commerce and warehouse systems. Items Item cards and availability mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier-facing systems. Purchase Orders Purchasing documents reconciled with receiving and vendor systems. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Payments Customer and vendor payment records reconciled against invoices. G/L Entries Posted ledger entries replicated to warehouses for finance reporting. Payments is specific to Dynamics 365 Business Central and G/L Entries to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales Orders Order headers and lines created from external channels and read back for fulfillment status. Item Ledger Entries Inventory movement history read for stock and costing analytics. Sales Orders is specific to Dynamics 365 Business Central and Item Ledger Entries to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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.

Dynamics 365 Business Central Microsoft Dynamics NAV Sub-second propagation

DetectionDynamics 365 Business Central notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. API webhooks (change notifications on subscribed entities) plus polling on lastModifiedDateTime.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Microsoft Dynamics NAV as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Dynamics 365 Business Central Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on modified/timestamp fields, or SQL Server change tracking/CDC on on-premises databases.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Dynamics 365 Business Central through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
