The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected ERP & Financial Systems

Operating Dynamics NAV for your core business processes and TIMS for specialized accounting creates inherent inefficiencies. Manual data transfers, reconciliation headaches, and delayed information are common pitfalls that hinder growth and decision-making.

  • Manual data entry leads to errors and significant time waste.
  • Delayed financial reporting due to batch processing and reconciliation efforts.
  • Inconsistent inventory levels across systems cause stockouts or overselling.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into sales, purchases, and financial health.
  • Cumbersome vendor invoice processing and approval cycles.
  • Difficulty in maintaining accurate, synchronized customer master data.

Dynamics NAV and TIMS: Technical Integration Details

Our iPaaS platform provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for connecting Dynamics NAV and TIMS. It leverages the strengths of each system's API to build resilient, event-driven workflows that ensure data integrity and real-time synchronization.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connectivity: Establish authenticated connections to Dynamics NAV Web Services (OData/SOAP) and TIMS REST API (OAuth 2.0).

Event Listener/Polling: Configure iPaaS to listen for events (e.g., new sales order in NAV, payment in TIMS) or efficiently poll for changes.

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data entities (e.g., Customer, Sales Order, Item) from the source system.

Transformation & Harmonization: Apply AI-assisted mapping and transformation rules to reconcile schema differences and ensure data consistency.

Data Validation: Implement pre-posting validation rules to catch errors before data reaches the target system.

Data Loading: Insert or update records in the target system via its API.

Error Handling & Notification: Log successes/failures, implement retries, and alert stakeholders for critical issues.

Status Updates: Propagate status changes back to the source system or other connected applications.

Data Touchpoints

Customer: Creation, updates, credit terms, addresses.
Vendor: Creation, updates, payment terms, addresses.
Item/Product: Creation, updates, pricing, inventory levels.
Sales Order: Creation, status updates, line items, shipping details.
Purchase Order: Creation, status updates, line items.
Sales Invoice / AR Invoice: Creation, status (paid/unpaid), amounts.
Payment (Cash Receipt / AR Payment): Application against invoices, transaction IDs.
Shipment: Tracking information, delivery status.
General Ledger Entry: Posting of financial transactions.

"Dynamics NAV <-> iPaaS (AI-Powered Orchestration, Mapping, Transformation, Validation) <-> TIMS. Data flows include Customer, Vendor, Item/Product, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Sales Invoice/AR Invoice, Payment, General Ledger Entry, and Shipment."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping between Dynamics NAV and TIMS

Our iPaaS provides a visual, AI-assisted mapping canvas to precisely align data structures between Dynamics NAV and TIMS, ensuring data integrity and consistency across your enterprise. Below are critical entities and typical mapping considerations.

Customer

Synchronizes customer records critical for sales, invoicing, and accounts receivable across both systems.

Dynamics NAV Fields

No. Name Address City Post Code Country/Region Code Phone No. E-Mail Currency Code Customer Posting Group Gen. Bus. Posting Group

TIMS Fields

CustomerID ExternalID CompanyName FirstName LastName Email Phone BillingAddress ShippingAddress PaymentTerms

Mapping Notes

NAV's 'No.' often maps to TIMS's 'ExternalID' or 'CustomerID'. Address fields require careful harmonization due to format differences. 'Customer Posting Group' and 'Gen. Bus. Posting Group' in NAV need to map to relevant TIMS accounting classifications.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General FAQs

▸ What is the primary benefit of integrating Dynamics NAV with TIMS?
The primary benefit is achieving a unified view of your operational and financial data, eliminating manual data entry, reducing errors, and automating critical workflows like order-to-cash and procure-to-pay. This leads to faster financial closes, improved inventory accuracy, and better decision-making.

Technical FAQs

▸ How does the iPaaS handle data mapping between NAV and TIMS, given their different structures?
Our iPaaS features an intuitive, visual mapping canvas. It allows you to drag-and-drop fields between Dynamics NAV's OData/SOAP structures and TIMS's REST API entities. AI-assisted mapping suggests optimal field matches and transformation functions, while a powerful transformation engine handles complex data harmonization and validation rules, ensuring data consistency.
▸ How do you handle errors and ensure data integrity during integration?
Our platform employs robust error handling: automated retries with exponential backoff for transient errors, dead-letter queues for failed messages requiring manual review, detailed logging for audit trails, and real-time alerts for critical failures. Idempotent design ensures that re-processing messages doesn't create duplicate records, safeguarding data integrity.
▸ Can this integration support both on-premise Dynamics NAV and cloud-based TIMS?
Absolutely. Our hybrid iPaaS model is specifically designed for such scenarios. It can securely connect to an on-premise Dynamics NAV instance using secure agents or VPNs, while seamlessly integrating with cloud-based TIMS via its public REST API, ensuring secure and reliable data exchange across your infrastructure.

Use Cases FAQs

▸ Can I automate my eCommerce order processing from NAV to TIMS?
Absolutely. This is a core use case. Our integration automates the capture of sales orders from your eCommerce platform into Dynamics NAV, reserves inventory, and then pushes the relevant financial data (invoices, payments) to TIMS for AR reconciliation, all in real-time.

Security FAQs

▸ What authentication methods are used for Dynamics NAV and TIMS in the integration?
For Dynamics NAV Web Services, we typically use Web Service Access Keys paired with a dedicated NAV user ID. For TIMS, the integration leverages OAuth 2.0. All credentials are securely stored in the iPaaS's encrypted vault, and least privilege access is enforced for all integration users.

AI Features FAQs

▸ How does AI contribute to better Dynamics NAV and TIMS integration?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing intelligent mapping suggestions, performing automated data validation to prevent errors, detecting anomalies in financial transactions, and offering insights for faster error resolution. It moves beyond basic automation to predictive and prescriptive capabilities, improving data quality and operational intelligence.

Low-Code FAQs

▸ Is it possible to customize integration workflows without writing code?
Yes, our iPaaS is designed with low-code/no-code principles. Business users can leverage a visual drag-and-drop interface to design, customize, and extend integration workflows, define conditional logic, and apply transformation rules without requiring extensive coding knowledge. This accelerates development and empowers business agility.
