DynamicsNav - Connector Settings
This document outlines the connector-specific settings for the DynamicsNav connector. These settings allow administrators to configure how the connector interacts with DynamicsNav, influencing data synchronization, order processing, and other key behaviors.
Settings are typically stored and managed via the App4Sales portal UI or specific configuration files and are applied at runtime to control the connector's operations.
Setting | Description | Values / Defaults | Dependencies / Effects |
Itemcode for shipping costs | Specifies the item code to be used for shipping costs when creating or updating orders in DynamicsNav. This ensures that shipping charges are correctly categorized and processed within the ERP system. | String (e.g., "SHIPPING", "FR001"). Defaults to an empty string if not set. | This setting is used during the order synchronization process. If left empty, shipping costs might not be properly transferred or may be ignored by DynamicsNav, depending on its configuration. |
Full synchronization for items | When enabled, this setting triggers a complete synchronization of all item data from DynamicsNav to App4Sales. This is typically used for initial setup or when significant changes to the item catalog require a full refresh. | Boolean (True/False). Default: False. | Enabling this may increase synchronization time and resource usage, especially for large item catalogs. It ensures that all item records in App4Sales are aligned with DynamicsNav. |
Full synchronization for customers | When enabled, this setting initiates a complete synchronization of all customer data from DynamicsNav to App4Sales. This is useful for initial data loads or when comprehensive customer information updates are required. | Boolean (True/False). Default: False. | Enabling this may increase synchronization time and resource usage, especially for large customer bases. It ensures that all customer records in App4Sales are aligned with DynamicsNav. |
Maximum length check for notes and reference | When enabled, this setting enforces a maximum length check for note and reference fields before they are sent to DynamicsNav. This prevents data truncation or errors if DynamicsNav has stricter length limitations for these fields. | Boolean (True/False). Default: False. | If enabled, any notes or references exceeding the configured maximum length (as defined internally by the connector or DynamicsNav) will be truncated or rejected. It is recommended to enable this if DynamicsNav has known length constraints for these fields. |
Use sync method with batches | Determines whether data synchronization with DynamicsNav should occur in batches. Batch processing can improve performance and reduce resource consumption for large data sets by processing data in smaller, manageable chunks. | Boolean (True/False). Default: False. | Enabling this can improve the efficiency and reliability of data transfers, particularly for environments with high data volumes or network latency. Specific batch sizes may be internally managed by the connector. |
Operational Guidance
It is crucial to understand the implications of each setting before making changes. For instance, enabling full synchronization settings unnecessarily can lead to longer sync times. The maximum length check for notes and references should be enabled if DynamicsNav is known to have character limits on these fields to prevent data loss or errors. The batch synchronization method is generally recommended for performance in larger deployments.
