Analysts read general ledger entries, trial balance and balance sheet data for reports outside Business Central.
Developers build Connect apps that link Business Central to another solution and exchange data over the standard REST APIs.
Developers create and read sales orders, sales invoices and quotes to sync with e-commerce or CRM systems.
Dynamics 365 Business Central offers standard REST APIs for Connect apps. A Connect app links Business Central with another solution to exchange data. API v2.0 is the current version, and Microsoft documents each resource type, such as customer, vendor, item, sales invoice, purchase invoice and general ledger entry. Microsoft says the standard APIs are available as an OpenAPI specification, but there is no downloadable file for version 2.0. A file exists only for version 1.0. Use of the APIs falls under the Microsoft APIs Terms of Use. Developers can use this entry to check resource shapes before they build ERP integrations, and data teams can use it to plan finance and sales models.
