3. Best Practices & Tips
Contact support first (Beta Feature)
If this feature is labeled with “beta”, we recommend reaching out to Finstack Support before you begin. Our team can walk you through setup and clarify any known limitations.Verify Cloud version
Only the cloud-hosted version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is supported. Be sure you’re not using an on-premise solution.Check role permissions
Make sure you have the necessary permissions in Dynamics 365 Business Central to grant third-party apps (like Finstack) access to your company data.
4. Troubleshooting
Sign-In error: If you get an error about client_id or a “trouble signing you in” message, verify your Microsoft Azure app registration is set up properly. Finstack Support can guide you through this process.
No data appears: Check that you selected the correct company or entity in your import settings, and verify you have the correct user permissions.
Partial imports or missing fields: Because this integration is beta, some data points may not import or map correctly. Report any discrepancies to Finstack Support so we can improve the feature.
On-Premise not supported: If you’re using the on-premise version of Dynamics 365, this integration will not function. You’ll need to switch to a cloud license or use another method to import data (e.g., CSV/Excel).
