Overview
Moving from BizeeBuy to Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a procurement-and-production data migration that requires resolving three structural mismatches: BizeeBuy's vendor-centric procurement model against Dynamics 365's organization-unit and site-based inventory architecture; BizeeBuy's GRN-linked three-way match chain against Dynamics 365's invoice-matching workflow; and BizeeBuy's multi-level BoM and production batch records against Dynamics 365's production order and routing structure. We extract from BizeeBuy's paginated API endpoints (no bulk dump available) and load through Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Data Management Framework or Business Central's API with batch chunking. Approval workflows, RFQ configurations, and reverse-auction settings do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every approval chain and sourcing workflow requiring rebuild by the customer's Dynamics admin.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a BizeeBuy object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
BizeeBuy
Suppliers / Vendors
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Vendors (Finance and Operations) or Suppliers (Business Central)
1:1BizeeBuy Supplier records map to Dynamics 365 Vendor. The supplier name, contact details, sourcing category, and performance metadata transfer as fields on the Vendor entity. Vendor addresses map to the Logistics postal address structure. We resolve any duplicate vendor names created under different spellings during the data profiling phase before import.
BizeeBuy
Purchase Orders
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Purchase Orders
1:1BizeeBuy PO headers, line items, cost-center assignments, and approval statuses map to Dynamics 365 Purchase Order. The PO approval status from BizeeBuy (pending, approved, rejected) maps to a Workflow state we configure in Power Automate post-migration since BizeeBuy approval workflows do not transfer as code. Line items link to Items by SKU resolution.
BizeeBuy
Goods Receipt Notes (GRNs)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Product Receipts (Finance and Operations) or Posted Receipts (Business Central)
1:1GRNs are the three-way match anchor in BizeeBuy's payable workflow. We export GRN headers with their linked PO references and invoice associations, then map to Product Receipt lines in Dynamics 365. The three-way match state (matched, variance, pending) is preserved in a custom field on the receipt for payable reconstruction.
BizeeBuy
Items / Products
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Released Products (Finance and Operations) or Items (Business Central)
1:1BizeeBuy Items carry SKU, unit of measure, cost, and category assignments. We export the full item master and map to Dynamics 365 Released Products with the same item number and unit. Variant or bundle structures in BizeeBuy require flattening; we decompose bundles into component lines and flag the parent bundle for manual reassembly if required.
BizeeBuy
Warehouses
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Warehouses
1:1BizeeBuy warehouse definitions with addresses and assigned roles (receiving, storage, shipping) map directly to Dynamics 365 Warehouse. Site and Location hierarchies are created based on the warehouse role. BizeeBuy's single-warehouse configuration (Starter tier) maps to a single Dynamics 365 site; multi-warehouse setups map to multiple sites with inter-company transfer orders if applicable.
BizeeBuy
Stock Levels / Inventory
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
On-hand Inventory
1:1Stock quantities per item per warehouse transfer as on-hand inventory transactions. BizeeBuy's FIFO-based pricing preserves as the costing version in Dynamics 365 inventory setup. We export the latest stock snapshot and any available movement logs; movement logs without a dedicated API endpoint require ledger posting reconstruction from invoice history.
BizeeBuy
Production Batches
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Production Orders
1:1Batch records link raw-material consumption to finished-goods output. We export batch headers, associated BoM references, and inventory adjustments. In Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain, these map to Production Orders with the production BOM version and route. Business Central production orders use a simpler structure without route operations; we flag the difference during scoping and advise on the appropriate destination module.
BizeeBuy
Bills of Materials (BoMs)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
BOM and Formula (Finance and Supply Chain) or BOM (Business Central)
1:1BizeeBuy multi-level BoM hierarchies with component quantities and scrap rates flatten into single-level BOM lines in Dynamics 365. We decompose sub-assemblies into their component items and map each to a separate BOM line. Dynamics 365 BOM versions are date-effective; we set the BOM version effective date to the original BoM creation date from BizeeBuy.
BizeeBuy
Accounts Payable / Invoices
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Vendor Invoices
1:1AP records including supplier invoices, payment status, and two-way or three-way match results map to Vendor Invoice headers and lines. Match outcomes against POs and GRNs are preserved in custom fields since Dynamics 365 match states are computed at invoice-posting time rather than stored as attributes. Open invoice balances are recorded as pending vendor ledger entries for the AP team to resolve in the new system.
BizeeBuy
Cost Centers and Budgets
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Departments and Financial Dimensions
1:1BizeeBuy cost-center hierarchy and active budget balances map to Dynamics 365 Departments and Financial Dimensions. Approval routing in BizeeBuy tied to cost-center budgets requires rebuild in Power Automate or Dynamics workflow as a post-migration task. We export the budget balance snapshot and flag it as a manual opening balance in the Dynamics 365 budget module.
BizeeBuy
Custom Fields / Extensions
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Custom Fields
lossyBizeeBuy custom fields on core entities are inferred from record payloads since the API does not expose a dedicated custom-field schema endpoint. We infer field presence, map the field name to a Dynamics 365 custom field (user-defined field in Finance and Operations or custom field in Business Central), and assign the appropriate data type. The customer validates custom field completeness against a pre-migration field list during sandbox sign-off.
BizeeBuy
Users and Roles
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Users and Security Roles
lossyBizeeBuy does not expose a public user management API, so user records and role assignments cannot be exported. We provision users in Dynamics 365 Azure Active Directory, assign the appropriate security roles based on the customer's documented role structure, and deliver a role matrix mapping BizeeBuy role names to Dynamics 365 security roles. This is a manual step coordinated with the customer's IT admin during cutover.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
API discovery and extraction architecture design
We test connectivity to BizeeBuy's API base URL, confirm the authentication mechanism (API key, Bearer token, or OAuth pattern), and establish the informal rate ceiling through incremental discovery requests. We map every BizeeBuy object (Suppliers, POs, GRNs, Items, Warehouses, Stock, Production Batches, BoMs, AP Invoices, Cost Centers) to a corresponding Dynamics 365 entity and design the extraction sequence based on foreign-key dependencies. The discovery output is a written data dictionary and an extraction architecture with pagination strategy per endpoint.
Data profiling and quality remediation planning
We run full extraction across all BizeeBuy objects and build data quality exception reports: duplicate Suppliers by name and tax ID, Items with inconsistent UoM, inactive records linked to open POs, GRNs with missing PO references, and cost centers with budget entries but no PO assignments. We deliver the exception reports to the customer's data steward and agree on a remediation schedule before production migration. Records that cannot be remediated are flagged with a data decision (archive, import with warning, exclude) during the sandbox phase.
Destination schema design and edition alignment
We design the Dynamics 365 destination schema based on the customer's chosen edition: Business Central for SMB and mid-market ERP scope, or Finance and Supply Chain Management for manufacturing and multi-site complexity. Schema design includes Site and Warehouse configuration, Item and Product setup with costing method, Vendor master with payment terms, Financial Dimension structure for cost-center mapping, BOM and production parameters, and any required custom fields. We deploy schema to a Dynamics 365 Sandbox via the Data Management Framework or configuration packages for validation.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Dynamics 365 Sandbox using production-like data volume extracted from BizeeBuy. The customer's operations and finance leads reconcile record counts (Vendors in, Items in, POs in, AP invoices in, inventory balances in), spot-check 30-50 records per object against BizeeBuy source data, and validate financial dimension assignments. BoM structures, production batch histories, and GRN-linked payable chains are validated as a group. Sign-off on the sandbox migration gates the production cutover date.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in the following sequence: configuration data (sites, warehouses, fiscal calendars, cost dimension structures), master data (Vendors, Items, Items with BoM, Warehouses), transactional data (Purchase Orders with line items, GRNs with PO references, Vendor Invoices with GRN links), production data (Production Orders with BOM versions), inventory snapshots (on-hand quantities with FIFO costing version), and finally AP open balances for payable reconstruction. Each phase emits a row-count and value reconciliation report. We use Dynamics 365 Data Management Framework entities for batch import with retry logic on throttled responses.
Cutover, delta sync, and approval workflow handoff
We freeze BizeeBuy writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration run, then enable Dynamics 365 as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every BizeeBuy approval chain, RFQ configuration, and reverse auction setup that requires rebuild in Power Automate or Dynamics workflow. BoM structures and production parameters are documented for the customer's manufacturing team to validate against actual production routings. We support a one-week post-cutover reconciliation window and do not rebuild workflows, automations, or approval chains as part of the standard migration scope.
