Configure Microsoft Dynamics Business Central 365

Prerequisite(s)

• Obtain a Tenant Id, Client ID and secret by creating an Azure Application so that your end users can give access to their instance to your app
• Activate the Microsoft Dynamics Business Central 365 integration on the Chift platform

Process

1. Sign in to the Azure portal with your credentials (as an admin). If you do not yet have an Azure account, you can sign up for a free account here.
2. You will see your tenant name in the right upper corner:
3. If you don’t have a tenant, you can follow this link to create your tenant.
4. You can now start registering your app; go to the portal and select “App registrations” (link here)
5. Click on “New registration”
   • Give a name to your application
   • Select one of the “Multitenant” application depending on your need.
   • Proceed for registration
   • Under your application, click right on “Manage” and then “Authentication” to configure the redirection url.
   • Click on “Add a platform” and select “Web” and enter the following redirect URI: “https://chift.app/oauth2/redirect”
   • Click on “Configure”.
6. Once this is done, we now need to configure permissions for this application. Go under “API permissions” and click on “Add a permission”.
   • Select “Dynamics 365 Business Central” and search for “Financials.ReadWrite.All” as well as “user_impersonation” and “User.Read” under the “Delegated permissions”. Click on “Add permissions” to confirm your choice.
   • As a last step, go to the “Certificates & secrets” tab and then “Client secrets” to add a new Client Secret.
     • Give a description to your secret and an expiration date depending on your use case.
     • Once this is confirmed, copy the value of your client secret to be able to use it in Chift. Under “Overview”, copy as well the application client id and your tenant id to be able to use it in Chift.
7. As final check, we need to ensure that assignment is not set to required in ‘Enterprise Application’ tab.
   • Go to the ‘Enterprise Application’ tab in your portal
