Amazon Dynamics 365 Business Central Integration: Automated Amazon Accounting for Microsoft ERP
Amazon sellers running Dynamics 365 Business Central face a specific reconciliation challenge: Amazon settlements bundle dozens of fee categories into a net payout, and mapping that into Business Central’s G/L account structure correctly — with proper VAT posting groups, dimension assignments, and multi-currency handling — requires deep familiarity with both platforms.
TL;DR: SyncTools connects Amazon Seller Central to Dynamics 365 Business Central — mapping sales, FBA fees, refunds, and settlement payouts to the correct G/L accounts, VAT posting groups, and dimensions automatically. Supports both individual order and summarized journal entry sync. Setup takes under 20 minutes; sandbox testing available before go-live.
SyncTools automates that entire process, connecting Amazon Seller Central to Dynamics 365 Business Central and posting structured transactions that reconcile cleanly within your Microsoft ERP.
The Amazon Accounting Challenge for Business Central Users
Each Amazon settlement bundles product sales across marketplaces and fulfillment methods, offset by referral fees, FBA fees, storage charges, advertising, and refunds. Getting that net payout disaggregated and posted to the right Business Central G/L accounts — with correct VAT handling and currency conversion — is the core problem.
Without automation, your finance team must:
- Download the Amazon Settlement Report
- Manually parse each fee category
- Post individual journal entries or invoices to Business Central
- Reconcile the net bank deposit to those entries
SyncTools replaces steps 1–4 with an automated pipeline that runs on your schedule.

Why Business Central Users Choose SyncTools for Amazon
Dynamics 365 Business Central is a structured, rules-driven ERP — posting the wrong record types or missing VAT posting group assignments creates compliance issues that are time-consuming to unwind. SyncTools is built to respect Business Central’s data model, creating the correct record types for each Amazon transaction and mapping to your specific G/L and dimension structure.
The result is a Business Central P&L that accurately reflects Amazon profitability, a VAT return that’s correct on first draft, and a month-end close that doesn’t require a dedicated Amazon reconciliation session.
