About Kissflow's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Integration

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central connector of Kissflow Integration facilitates the seamless connection and synchronization of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central modules with various third-party apps and Kissflow apps. To integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, users must possess a valid Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central account and be a paid Kissflow customer.

An employee can submit a purchase request in a Kissflow Process, providing details such as the item description, quantity, preferred vendor, and additional notes. The request goes through several approval stages where managers can either approve or reject it.
