Why teams connect Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Snowflake

Put Microsoft Dynamics NAV's records in Snowflake as live tables for reporting and analysis, without extract jobs, and write results back where Microsoft Dynamics NAV can use them.

ERP data is some of the most asked-for data in the warehouse and some of the hardest to get: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and extract jobs are brittle. Whether Microsoft Dynamics NAV carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, the analysis belongs in Snowflake next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Companies, Customers, Vendors, Items from Microsoft Dynamics NAV into tables in Snowflake continuously, managing API limits and schema drift along the way. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Snowflake can be written back to fields in Microsoft Dynamics NAV where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • 01 Activate modeled Snowflake tables by syncing scores and attributes back into CRM fields sales can act on
  • 02 Keep a customer 360 table aligned with its source systems in both directions instead of one-way reverse ETL
  • 03 Keep inventory availability current in storefronts and customer portals.
  • 04 Run parallel sync during a NAV-to-Business Central migration so both systems stay usable.

Common sync patterns

Write-back where Microsoft Dynamics NAV exposes writable fields

Classifications or reference values computed in Snowflake sync back onto the corresponding records in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Where Microsoft Dynamics NAV holds the books: finance reporting from live data

Financial records land in Snowflake as they change, so period-end reporting queries current numbers rather than last night's extract.

Where Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the HR system of record: workforce analytics

Worker and organization data syncs into Snowflake for headcount, cost, and planning analysis alongside other company data.

What you can sync between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Snowflake

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.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects Snowflake objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase Orders Purchasing documents reconciled with receiving and vendor systems. VARIANT Columns Semi-structured JSON payloads stored alongside relational columns. Purchase Orders is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and VARIANT Columns to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
G/L Entries Posted ledger entries replicated to warehouses for finance reporting. Virtual Warehouses The compute a sync's queries run on, sized independently of storage. G/L Entries is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Virtual Warehouses to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Item Ledger Entries Inventory movement history read for stock and costing analytics. Databases Top-level containers that scope which data a sync can touch. Item Ledger Entries is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Databases to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions Analytical codes carried on documents and entries for reporting splits. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Dimensions is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Schemas to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Per-company data partitions that scope every sync. Tables The main landing and activation target for synced records. Companies is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Tables to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Customer cards synced with CRMs so sales sees ERP balances and terms. Views Modeled projections used as the source side of outbound syncs. Customers is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Views to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Snowflake

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.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Snowflake: No conventional API rate limits; cost and throughput are governed by virtual warehouse size and running time.
