Bond's Dynamics 365 Integration

Overview

Bond's integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations bridges the gap between your ERP and treasury, creating a unified financial operations layer. The integration eliminates manual data transfers, reduces reconciliation effort, and enables treasury teams to operate with real-time data from Dynamics — rather than relying on end-of-day exports or periodic data dumps.

Whether you're running Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, or the combined Finance & Operations suite, Bond maps directly to your existing legal entity structure, chart of accounts, and financial dimensions to deliver a seamless experience.

Out-of-the-box value

Integration architecture

Bond integrates with Dynamics 365 through Microsoft's OData REST APIs and the Data Management Framework (DMF). The connection leverages Azure Active Directory for authentication, using service principal credentials with the minimum required permissions.

• Real-time sync: Critical data such as bank transaction confirmations, payment statuses, and intercompany journal entries are synchronized in real time via OData APIs.
• Batch processing: High-volume data sets such as AP/AR aging reports, general ledger trial balances, and historical transaction data are processed through DMF for optimal performance.
• Event-driven updates: Bond listens for business events from Dynamics 365 — such as invoice approvals, payment proposals, and journal postings — to trigger treasury workflows automatically.

How it works — Data flows

Dynamics connects to Bond via Azure AD authentication, with service principal tokens stored in Bond to enable ongoing integration. Data flows bidirectionally between Dynamics, Bond, and the banking network.

From Dynamics, outbound data such as journals, payment files, and bulk payment runs flow into Bond, where they are processed and enriched before being routed to banks and third-party providers. In the opposite direction, inbound data including status updates, payment confirmations, bank statements, and account metadata flows from banks into Bond, which passes structured data back into Dynamics.

Inbound: Dynamics → Bond

Bond retrieves master data and transactional data from Dynamics via OData APIs. Key inbound data includes legal entities, chart of accounts, financial dimensions, AP/AR transactions, vendors, customers, and exchange rates.

Outbound: Bond → Dynamics

Bond validates vendor data, bank details, payment limits, currency rules, and segregation-of-duties requirements, then applies multi-level approvals. Only once approvals are complete does Bond update Dynamics with the appropriate status and execute the payment through its bank connectors.

Journal entries

Bond posts payments, receipts, FX gains/losses, interest accruals, bank fees, intercompany settlements, and loan/investment accounting. Each journal supports multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-dimension, custom field population, and auto-reversal where required.

Integration engines

Bond's integration layer is composed of five purpose-built engines that work together to ensure data accuracy, compliance, and operational reliability.

Implementation methodology

Bond follows a structured five-step implementation process for Dynamics 365 integrations, ensuring a smooth and reliable go-live.

Intercompany management

For organisations using Dynamics 365's intercompany accounting capabilities, Bond extends this with treasury-grade intercompany management. When Bond processes intercompany loans, netting settlements, or cash pool movements, it automatically generates the corresponding intercompany journal entries in Dynamics — including proper elimination entries and financial dimension tagging.

Bond also automates the creation of intercompany loan documentation, interest calculations, and transfer pricing support documentation — all linked back to the underlying Dynamics transactions for a complete audit trail.

Security & Azure AD

The integration authenticates through Azure Active Directory using service principal credentials with role-based access control. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ and at rest using AES-256. The integration respects Dynamics 365 security roles and data policies, ensuring that Bond only accesses data appropriate for treasury operations. A complete audit log of all API interactions is maintained for compliance purposes.
