Power Connector for Dynamics 365 Business Central: Standard Connector vs. Virtual Tables
When connecting Business Central to Power Apps or Power Automate, architects have two primary integration paths: the standard Business Central Connector and Dataverse Virtual Tables. Choosing the right pattern is critical for performance, query delegation, and offline caching.
| Architecture Feature | Standard BC Power Connector | Dataverse Virtual Tables (Recommended) |
|---|---|---|
| Connection Protocol | OData v4 API Endpoint | Native Dataverse Provider Layer |
| Query Delegation | Limited server-side delegation | Full Dataverse query delegation support |
| Mobile Offline Caching | Requires custom local collection caching | Supports native Power Apps mobile offline profiles |
| Security & Permissions | Pass-through BC user permissions | Combined Dataverse Security Roles + BC ACLs |
