Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on Oliver POS

Dynamics 365 Business Central receives Oliver POS register sales through the WooCommerce + BC connector — Microsoft-stack ERP with unified online + in-store revenue.

How Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's mid-market cloud ERP, deeply integrated with Microsoft 365, Power BI, and Power Platform. The WooCommerce + Business Central connector posts orders as BC sales orders or sales invoices, customers as BC customers, and inventory and fulfilment back to WooCommerce. Oliver POS writes register sales into WooCommerce, and the BC connector picks them up — Power BI dashboards and consolidated GL include in-store revenue automatically.

What Business Central pulls from WooCommerce

The MyWorks Sync for Dynamics 365 Business Central connector (and equivalent connectors from Atomic Smash and other partners) syncs WooCommerce orders into Business Central as sales orders, sales invoices, or posted sales receipts. Customers, items, prices, and stock all flow on configurable schedules. Business Central's native posting groups, dimensions, and analytical views then apply to the synced data.

Oliver POS doesn't talk to Business Central directly. Till sales land in WooCommerce; the BC connector picks them up identically to online orders.

Why in-store sales matter on the Business Central GL

Business Central is Microsoft's answer to NetSuite — mid-market ERP with deep Microsoft-stack integration. Retailers run it because the rest of the business runs on Microsoft 365, Power BI, and Power Platform, and they want the ERP in the same stack. The value of that integration only materialises if revenue actually reaches Business Central. Oliver POS on WooCommerce closes that gap.

Once till sales reach BC, Power BI dashboards reflect the unified business, Power Automate flows trigger correctly on order events, and consolidated GL across subsidiaries (BC supports multi-entity natively) stays accurate.

How the WooCommerce + Oliver + Business Central sync works

Cashier rings the sale on Oliver POS, captures the customer, tenders. Oliver writes a WooCommerce order. The Business Central connector fires, creates or matches a BC customer, posts a sales order or invoice with the line items, dimensions, and posting groups configured for the mapped revenue and tax accounts, and updates inventory in BC.

Best fit for retailers who…

Business Central on Oliver POS is the right call for mid-market retailers already invested in the Microsoft stack — Microsoft 365, Power BI, Power Platform — who want a single ERP for finance, inventory, and operations and a WooCommerce-friendly POS that doesn't require ripping out the existing storefront.

Common questions about Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on Oliver POS

Will Power BI dashboards include Oliver POS revenue?

Yes. Power BI pulls from Business Central. Once Oliver POS sales reach Business Central through the WooCommerce connector, any Power BI dashboard built on BC's sales data reflects the unified online + in-store revenue.

Does Business Central support multi-entity consolidation with Oliver POS multi-outlet setups?

Yes. Each Oliver POS outlet can map to a Business Central company (BC's entity concept). The WooCommerce connector posts orders to the right BC company, and BC's consolidation tools roll the entities up for group reporting.

Does Oliver POS have a partnership with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

No. Oliver doesn't partner with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or any other accounting platform. We support Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central because its WooCommerce connector already pulls orders, refunds, taxes, and customers from your store — and Oliver writes every in-store sale into WooCommerce as a standard order, so the same connector picks it up automatically. Your accounting subscription, your ledger, and your contract stay between you and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Does Oliver charge extra to use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

No. You pay Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's standard published pricing directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Oliver doesn't take a markup, doesn't insert itself into the data flow, and doesn't charge a per-transaction or per-journal-entry fee on top.

Do register sales from Oliver POS reach Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Yes. Every Oliver POS sale is written to WooCommerce as a standard order with the customer, line items, taxes, and payment method attached. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central WooCommerce connector treats that order the same way it treats an online order: it posts the same invoice, journal entry, or sales receipt, with the same tax splits and the same customer record. There's no separate "POS sync" to configure.

How fast does a register sale reach Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

It depends on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central connector's sync mode. Connectors that push per-order (most Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central integrations support this) post the invoice or sales receipt into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central within seconds of the cashier closing the sale. Connectors set to a daily summary post a single end-of-day journal entry with per-tax, per-payment-method, and per-outlet splits. Either way, no manual entry is required.

Will my in-store and online sales reconcile against one set of books in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Yes. Oliver POS writes register sales into the same WooCommerce store that powers your online checkout, so by the time orders reach the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central WooCommerce connector they're already a unified order stream. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central sees one revenue feed, one tax-liability total, and one customer ledger — no manual reconciliation between an online and an in-store set of books.
