Platform Differences

There can be some differences in field values due to platform-specific limitations or if the connection is missing required scopes.

Dynamics 365 Business Central

Due to limitations of the base Business Central API, bill payments (known as vendor ledger entries within Business Central) can only be retrieved if your customer installs the Rutter Extension from the Microsoft AppSource marketplace or manually. Please contact support@rutterapi.com to configure this.
