Import D365 F&O Entity
Description
Section titled “Description”Imports one Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations entity over your D365 F&O connection into a project table. Pick the connection, the entity type, the sync mode, and any filters; the step pulls matching records and writes them, with no OData query to author.
This is a generic canned step — one step type covers six entities, from master/reference data (main accounts, currencies, customers, vendors, released products) to transactional records (ledger journal headers), in either a direct OData call or an asynchronous DMF bulk extract.
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| D365 F&O Connection | Yes | The D365 F&O connection to read through. |
| Target Table | Yes | The project table the results are written to. It is overwritten in full on every run. |
| Entity Type | Yes | Which entity to pull. Default main_accounts. One of main_accounts, currencies, customers, vendors, released_products, ledger_journal_headers. |
| Sync Mode | Yes | Default odata. odata calls the entity’s standard OData endpoint directly. dmf submits an asynchronous Data Management Framework export job and downloads the result once it completes — for pulls too large or slow over plain OData paging. |
| Filters | No | Range and equality filters translated into the request’s OData $filter. Each entity restricts filters to the fields D365 F&O can actually evaluate server side — an unsupported field is rejected, not silently dropped. |
