Integrating Business Central, the ERP system, with Magento, the eCommerce platform, will synchronize item, inventory, and sales operation data between the ERP and eCommerce systems for streamlined operations. Here's how product management works in such a scenario as simplified in this blog.
Product management, in the context of an x2x-eCommerce integration between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Magento, refers to the product data, inventory, pricing, and orders all flowing and carrying forward from one system to another. Ideally, in such a unified process, this would mean that Business Central is the back-end ERP system and Magento the front-end eCommerce platform.
Product Information Synchronization
Products and item information created in Business Central will be automatically synced with Magento.
Attributes consist of description, price, product images, variations, size/color, etc., that can all be flowed from BC to Magento.
Across price, stock, and item detail updates, near real-time reflection occurs in Magento.
Product Master Data
Those include SKU. Once it is synced, the update of data for inventory count and pricing will be accurate. Apart from syncing existing products on the other system, when a new product is added in Business Central, the integration system will create/upload the newly added product in Magento. This way, the new products added will always make their availability on the online shop.
x2x-eCommerce Business Central and Magento Integration have a module to make products in the same format as eCommerce platforms. These are the matrix products normally sold with dissimilar dimensions like size and color. Thus, this ensures end-to-end integration
How to Create Configurable Items in Magento from Business Central
The new feature added by x2x eCommerce to the Business Central gives its user the following rights:
Take advantage of native item creation in Business Central to create individual items. These would be child items and set attributes for them.
Create a parent or a configurable product then enable the attributes in Parent Item cards.
Assign the Child Items to Parent Item to create the configurable product.
On upload into the web store, these matrix products get created as configurable products on Magento.
Conclusion
Integrating Business Central with Magento for product management seamlessly ties operations together, streamlines the workflow, and ensures accuracy in data across both eCommerce and ERP systems. Centralized product, stock, and price management in Business Central and easy syncing with Magento help businesses cut out manual work, reduce the chances of errors, and deliver better customer service.
