In order to integrate data from a third-party warehouse management system with Dynamics 365 Finance in near real-time, there are several integration solutions available. Among the options presented, the two recommended solutions are:
A. OData: OData is a REST-based protocol that allows for real-time integration between different systems. OData provides a standard way to expose and consume data via HTTP RESTful services, and it's well-suited for scenarios where data needs to be queried or retrieved in near real-time. With OData, data from the third-party warehouse management system can be exposed as a web service, and then consumed by Dynamics 365 Finance in real-time.
D. Business events: Business events provide a mechanism to capture business-related events that occur in Dynamics 365 Finance and to react to them in real-time. By leveraging business events, data from the third-party warehouse management system can be synchronized with Dynamics 365 Finance in real-time. Whenever a new event occurs in the warehouse management system, a corresponding event can be raised in Dynamics 365 Finance, triggering the appropriate action to update the relevant data.
Therefore, the recommended solutions for integrating data from a third-party warehouse management system with Dynamics 365 Finance in near real-time are OData and Business events.
