Why teams connect Dynamics 365 Business Central and Workday

Keep Workday and Dynamics 365 Business Central agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results in Workday with Payments, Customers, Vendors, Items in Dynamics 365 Business Central in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • Replicate GL entries and dimensions into a SQL database for financial reporting without giving analysts ERP logins.
  • Sync vendor and purchase order data with procurement or AP automation tools.

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Workday serves a business unit and Dynamics 365 Business Central is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.
