Your local business focus
Richmond’s municipal economic-development profiles describe logistics and distribution, alongside an agrifood chain spanning production, processing and retail. A useful reporting scope makes stock and operating records easier to trace.
Connect Business Central item, order and purchasing data to agreed inventory and finance definitions.
Surrey-based. Scope is agreed around your actual business, tools and data.

For Business Central teams who rely on repeated exports, cannot trace a dashboard total to an ERP record, or need clearer visibility across companies and processes.
See the improvement approachIdentify the Business Central environment, company, relevant pages or APIs and reporting owners. Separate posted transactions from open documents before combining them.
Scope dashboards for open orders, receivables, purchasing, stock or other agreed questions. Map document and line identifiers, status, currencies, units and posting dates.
Use approved APIs or connectors with appropriate authentication and permissions. Plan pagination, throttling and incremental retrieval around the available endpoints.
Compare counts and amounts to agreed Business Central reference reports. Flag missing mappings, inconsistent units and incomplete source extracts for review.
Document field mappings, refresh frequency and change handling. Agree any write-back separately with explicit scope and business approval.
From symptom to acceptance check
We diagnose the cause, agree a change and check the result against your source records.
| Current problem | What we review or change | How we check it |
|---|---|---|
| ERP and dashboard totals disagree | Align company, posting date, document status, currency and line grain. | A documented reference total matches the report for the same period. |
| Only part of the API data appears | Follow pagination links and handle throttling, retries and completion checks. | Expected record counts and extraction completion are checked. |
| Open and posted documents are mixed | Model operational status and posted financial activity separately. | The user can distinguish backlog from recognised transactions. |
| Units or product mappings differ | Use an agreed conversion and mapping table; surface unresolved entries. | Unmapped records remain visible for review. |
| Access belongs to one person | Review approved authentication, ownership and permitted company access. | Refresh ownership and permission boundaries are recorded. |
Illustrative project
This is a proposed workflow example, not a customer case study or a claimed result.
What is open, overdue or waiting for a purchasing decision?
Connect approved Business Central data to a reporting model with supplier, document and date context.
Compare the selected company and period to the ERP reference view; test status changes and incomplete extracts.
Define done before building
At handover, agree who owns the accounts, connections and licences; who monitors refresh or workflow runs; and who handles changes and recovery. Documentation and a walkthrough support that handover. Any ongoing support is separately agreed.
We agree scope, timing and price after reviewing the available data and access.
Start with this serviceUseful scope questions
Our stated focus is Business Central reporting and integration. Other Dynamics 365 applications need a separate scope review before we commit to delivery.
Not always. Microsoft says standard Business Central API pages cannot simply be extended with extra fields; a custom API may be required. We first check what the approved endpoints expose.
Microsoft recommends OAuth and no longer supports Basic Authentication for Business Central Online. Your administrator approves the required access; the reporting design follows that boundary.
