Insight Works, a leading provider of apps for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, has announced the release of a new app, the Import Export PowerTool, which provides lightning-fast data migration capabilities to Business Central users – and it’s completely free.

The Import Export PowerTool app is designed to help integrators, consultants, and developers efficiently perform data imports and exports. Unlike RapidStart, which can take a long time to migrate data, Import Export PowerTool performs data imports and exports at lightning-fast speeds, regardless of the volume of data.

“Import Export PowerTool is a free tool that turbocharges data migration tasks and helps integrators, consultants, and developers save time and effort. It’s designed to provide flexibility and speed for those who need to migrate data from legacy systems to Business Central, from sandboxes to production, or from company to company,” said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works.

The app was initially released in 2014 for Microsoft NAV and has ranked in the top 100 NAV forum downloads. It has been helping integrators, consultants, and developers efficiently migrate data for almost a decade. Now for Business Central, the Import Export PowerTool app enables users to import and export data easily. It is an ideal solution for businesses looking to move their data quickly and efficiently.

The app’s key features include importing data up to 30+ times faster than RapidStart Configuration Packages, exporting data hundreds of times faster than RapidStart, and using existing Configuration Packages to perform quick exports. The app also allows users to automatically insert specified lot numbers and serial numbers on item journal imports, create record links and notes for new or existing records, bulk edit data quickly and easily, and optionally disable Change Log during imports.

Users will create, store, and execute batches to perform specific tasks such as deleting all item journal lines and serial numbers, importing items, running code to post to the journal, or exporting existing and new sales prices.

The Import Export PowerTool app is now available for free download from the Microsoft AppSource. Visit ImportExportforDynamics.com to learn more.

In today's fast-paced and digitally connected world, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has become crucial for businesses seamlessly exchanging data with their partners. This article will outline how the SPS Commerce EDI solution integrates with Dynamics 365 Business Central, the Dynamic Ship app, and the Warehouse Insight app from Insight Works to optimize the entire EDI process and provide a streamlined business experience.

The Power of EDI in Dynamics 365 Business Central

SPS Commerce, the market leader in EDI solutions, has been working with the Dynamics community for over 25 years, focusing on Microsoft implementations. The company's EDI solution boasts more than 1,000,000 pre-mapped connections, allowing businesses to connect easily with trading partners such as Walmart, Amazon, and Target.

By leveraging the SPS Commerce EDI solution with Dynamics 365 Business Central, businesses will streamline their processes and achieve better visibility into their EDI transactions. This is made possible through external SQL databases in Azure that maintain a light footprint and do not modify the core code within Business Central.

Integration with Insight Works Apps

SPS Commerce's EDI solution integrates seamlessly with Insight Works' Dynamic Ship and Warehouse Insight apps. These apps enable businesses to automate their shipping and warehouse processes, saving time and reducing errors.

When processing orders in Business Central, the Dynamic Ship app allows businesses to quickly rate shop, generate shipping labels, and prepare packages for shipment. This integration ensures that as soon as an order is released or a shipment is posted, the corresponding EDI transactions are automatically triggered and sent to the trading partner.

The Warehouse Insight app streamlines the pick, pack, and ship process by allowing users to easily manage their inventory through barcode scanning and real-time inventory updates. This integration ensures that all relevant EDI transactions are up-to-date and accurate.

Management by Exception

The SPS Commerce EDI solution for Dynamics 365 Business Central features a "management by exception" concept, where businesses can focus on their core processes. The EDI system automatically handles transactions and alerts relevant team members when exceptions occur. This ensures businesses can quickly address and resolve issues without disrupting their workflows.

EDI Dashboard and Document Explorer

The EDI solution also provides an intuitive dashboard that displays key performance indicators (KPIs) related to EDI transactions. Users can toggle between multiple languages and companies while filtering data based on trading partners and document groups.

The Document Explorer feature allows users to view all inbound and outbound documents, drill down into transaction details, and track the status of each document. This comprehensive view ensures businesses can efficiently manage their EDI transactions within Dynamics 365 Business Central.

In conjunction with Dynamics 365 Business Central and Insight Works apps, the SPS Commerce EDI solution provides a powerful and streamlined approach to managing EDI transactions. By automating processes, increasing visibility, and offering a management-by-exception approach, businesses will save time, reduce errors, and better serve their trading partners.
