Business Central Blogs

Greetings, Readers, Recently I read about this new feature by Microsoft in Business Central which enables Consolidation between multiple environments. This is one big update by Microsoft. If you check the earlier version of Business Central, it requires you to export Database file from Subsidiary company and import it in the Consolidated company to run the consolidation. This was a time consuming and manual task that user needs to perform. Developers were customizing and automating this process through different methods. In recent update Microsoft came up with method of using APIs to transfer data from Subsidiary company to Consolidate company. It requires user to do some basic setup and grant permission through login to environment of the Subsidiary company and your whole process of exporting file and importing to run the consolidation is out of the picture. If you look at Business value this update saves a lot of time and money for the organizations using Consolidation functionality.
