Automate your replenishment with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central integration

Optiply connects to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central through an extension installed in the environment. Optiply's supply chain agent turns that data and business rules into guardrails that guide every purchasing decision. It calculates what, when and how much to buy, explains every recommendation and flags only what falls outside the guardrails.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the

Microsoft Dynamics 365

integration

How does the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central integration work?

Optiply imports inventory items and variants, stock per location, suppliers, sales orders and invoices, purchase orders and receipts from Business Central. The supply chain agent turns them into purchasing advice that you review or automate to your own rules.

Why connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to Optiply?

Business Central already holds the items, variants, stock per location, suppliers and orders. Connected to Optiply, the supply chain agent uses that data to prepare daily purchasing advice and explains every decision on SKU level, while the team keeps its own rules.

What do I need to connect Business Central to Optiply?

The Optiply extension, which Optiply provides as an .app file, installed through Extension Management by an administrator. You also need the Environment Name from the Business Central Admin Center.

How long does it take to connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to Optiply?

There's no fixed setup time for connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to Optiply, because it depends on the setup and data. Connecting the account and the first data import are separate steps, so confirm both with Optiply Support for a reliable timeline.

How can inventory automation help a business that runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Purchasing that relies on manual calculations takes time and is hard to keep consistent. Automating replenishment lets rules do the repetitive work, so the team reviews advice instead of building it and has more time for suppliers and exceptions.

Do I stay in control of purchasing decisions?

Yes. The supply chain agent follows the rules set by the team, explains every recommendation on SKU level and only flags what falls outside them. How much to automate is a choice.

Always make the right purchasing decisions

Keep control of your supply chain. Know exactly what, when and where to buy and always place the right orders to maximize revenue.

“The fact that Optiply makes the calculations, analyses the sales of the past few years and can therefore make a prediction saves me a lot of work. That time saving is really the trigger.”
