This blog post contain step wise guide on how to integrate Dynamics NAV 2017 with Dynamics CRM Online (Dynamics 365). 

If you like to create a temporary test CRM account, please follow below steps in the gif. 

Make a note of Dynamics CRM URL and user account details in a separate notepad. These details will required at the later stage of configuration. 
01. Once the CRM account is in place you need to import the Dynamics NAV integration solution to CRM.

Step 02. Click on Import

G. Check for any errors and if there is need to correct those.
Step 01. Click on Close after checking the details of imported solution. 

H. Imported solution will be list down in the All Solution view of the Dynamics CRM.


Once the solution import is complete in the Dynamics CRM, now we need to setup Dynamics NAV for integration. 
02. Setting up Dynamics NAV
A. In order to config Dynamics NAV you need to navigate to CRM Connection setup page. 
  • Step 01. Navigate to “Department -> Administration -> IT Administration -> Services -> Microsoft Dynamic CRM Connection Setup”


B. Option 01. Enter the details and test connection

If the connection details are correct then it will show below message. 


B. Option 02.
If you are using the Dynamics NAV 2017 version you have an new option which will help to setup Dynamics CRM connector. This assisted setup is a wizard which will take you through all the main steps to complete the setup. 
  • Step 01. Click on “Assisted Setup” and go through the steps to complete setup.

C.Enable CRM Connection
  • Step 01. Click on Enable check box to enable CRM Connection
Once the connection is enable it will show scheduled jobs which liked with Dynamics CRM.

  • Step 01. If URLs are not setup then Click on the “Resent Web Client URL” option. It will populate required URLs into the setup. 


Once the above steps is completed, CRM connection is almost done. (Using default configurations). If you required to change the synchronization data flow direction, tables, fields then it required additional steps. Which we will discuss in a later blog post. 

03. Test Integration
In this part of the section we are going to test the Dynamics NAV integration. 
A. Manually synchronize customer master with Dynamics CRM
  • Step 01. Navigate to Customer Master
  • Step 02. Select a customer you want to synchronize to Dynamics CRM. 
  • Step 03. Click on “Synchronize Now” on the Navigate, and it will open a windows with different options.


B. Confirm Synchronization 

  • Step 01. Check “Create New” check box
  • Step 02. Click “OK”


C. Open Dynamics CRM window and check on the Accounts. You will be able to see the customer which we synchronize through Dynamics NAV. 

Scheduled jobs will synchronize setup integrations tables and if there is any errors it will show up in the CRM integration setup window.

  1. Hi

    Thanks for the useful information on the configuration of integration between NAV and CRM. I have done this successfully with NAV 2016 and CRM Online However, have you tried it with Dynamics 365 for Sales? Also, is it mandatory to import the NavIntegration solution in CRM? In other words, can CRM connection be tested using the Test Connection option in NAV 2017 to test the URL without importing the NavIntegration solution?

  2. Sorry I have not tried this with Dynamics 365 Sales. On the second question, yes it is mandatory to import the solution to CRM.

  3. Hi.
    Thanks for the useful info,

    Kindly note that I am not able to see the "Dynamics CRM" group in the NAV ribbon to force a manual sync.

    Any hints?
    Thanks.

    Did you try customizing your ribbon by right clicking on it?
    If that also does not show the CRM action button you might have to check your role center.
    Does it show to other users?
