Back System integration

Connecting a scale to Dynamics 365 Business Central

Whether current Business Central in the cloud or a Navision installation grown over the years: we bring your weighing data automatically into the right documents – from goods receipt to the production order.

Typical use cases

  • Goods receipt: weighed quantities straight into the purchase receipt
  • Shipping: package and pallet weights to the sales shipment and carrier data
  • Production: consumption and output quantities from the scale into the production order
  • Warehouse: stocktaking with counting scales, inventory corrections without paper slips
  • Vehicle scale: gross/tare/net with document and posting creation

How the integration works

We integrate Business Central via the official web services (OData) or – together with your partner – via an AL extension; for on-premises and NAV installations via web services, a staging database or a file interface. The scale side (reading out, validation, buffering, the user interface at the weighing station) we deliver in full. Your ERP system stays upgradeable and your partner keeps authority over the business logic.

Frequently asked questions

We have a Dynamics partner – how do you work with them?

With a division of labour: we deliver the scale integration up to the defined hand-over point, your partner is responsible for the ERP side. This has proven itself extremely well in practice.

Cloud or on-premises – does that make a difference?

Only in the transmission route. For the cloud we work with secure service calls; locally, database or file routes are also possible.

Which scales are supported?

Any with a data interface – see our manufacturer overview.
