Sales Migration via API
-
Situation
The integration of the Point of Sale (POS) system was delayed, preventing sales data from being migrated into the ERP system.
-
Solution
To resolve the issue of delayed sales migration from the POS system to Business Central, we leveraged API integration to transfer the sales data.
Key Features:
- API Integration: We migrated sales data through APIs and posted it into Microsoft Business Central to ensure accurate revenue figures.
- Automated Data Transfer: This process seamlessly integrated sales data into the ERP system without any manual intervention.
-
Impact
“By migrating the sales into Business Central, the system could now accurately reflect the company’s revenue, ensuring that day-to-day sales processes were maintained without further disruption.”

Inventory Stock Count Reconciliation
-
Situation
The August stock count mixed up purchase orders from August and September, producing inaccurate inventory records.
-
Solution
We corrected the inventory inaccuracies from the mistaken stock count by repeating it at the end of September with proper oversight.
Key Features of the Solution:
- Stock Count Re-run:We conducted a new stock count at the end of September to ensure all purchases for the month were received and accurately posted.
- Period Closure: We closed the August and September accounting periods to prevent further transactions from affecting inventory after the stock count.
-
Impact
“This solution restored accuracy to the inventory records, ensuring that the system’s data matched the physical stock in stores for both months.”

Currency Cleansing and Rectification
-
Situation
The previous implementation partner set the local currency incorrectly as the system’s actual currency, violating Microsoft Business Central policies.
-
Solution
We corrected the incorrect use of the local currency by designing a batch process to cleanse and fix the currency entries.
Key Features of the Solution:
- Batch Process: A custom batch was designed and executed to remove the incorrect local currency entries.
- Currency Rectification: The system was updated to align with Microsoft Business Central’s policies, ensuring that the currency settings were compliant.
-
Impact
“This correction enabled the generation of accurate financial entries and reports, eliminating errors and ensuring that financial data was clean and accurate for decision-making.”
