Integration between Ongoing WMS and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is Microsoft's ERP system for enterprise and mid-market companies, today offered as Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (formerly Dynamics AX). Ongoing WMS can be integrated with Finance and Operations via our APIs. Ongoing offers comprehensive REST and SOAP APIs.

Due to the wide variety of extensions and setups across different Finance and Operations installations, Ongoing recommends involving a specialized Microsoft Dynamics partner or internal IT resources for integration projects. Finance and Operations exposes its data through data entities, accessed via OData or the Data Management Framework, and can notify external systems through business events. This typically requires integration middleware or a connector to bridge the system with Ongoing WMS. It is therefore to be expected that integrating Ongoing WMS with Finance and Operations will require a dedicated project and budget. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, for example, is a more standardized system with several ready connectors.

Integrating an external WMS like Ongoing WMS with Finance and Operations for your own warehouse gives you access to advanced features designed specifically for warehouse efficiency, if the functionality of Microsoft's native warehouse management options (such as Warehouse management in Supply Chain Management) is not enough. Ongoing WMS has been developed in close collaboration with logistics providers over many years and is fully specialized in warehouse management.

If your business uses Finance and Operations and wishes to outsource all or parts of your logistics to a 3PL using Ongoing WMS, integrating Finance and Operations with Ongoing WMS provides the 3PL with the ideal setup to work efficiently when handling your goods.
