Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management version 0.40 or later.

  • No separate license is required if a Supply Chain Management license is already

 

  • A Dataverse environment must be connected to the D365 Finance and Operations (FO) environment.

How does the Data flow to this Mobile App?

The Inventory On-Hand mobile application utilizes Virtual Entities to retrieve real-time data from D365 FO.

When a Dataverse environment is integrated with D365 FO, transactional data is automatically synchronized to virtual tables. These tables are accessed by the Power Apps solution, enabling the mobile app to display up-to-date inventory information.

To enable this integration, the Virtual Entity Data Source must be registered as an application in Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and its configuration details must be added to Dataverse.
