The main difference between item group and item model group is that item group controls “where” information gets posted to, and item model group says “what” information gets posted there. For any item, the item group determines what accounts transactions for it are posted to. The item model group determines what information is posted in those accounts. There are also some batch options in Item Model Group. Generally, you have far fewer item model groups than you do item groups.
A module is the complete set of functionality for a system area, while a workspace is a curated set of functionality for a role. A workspace contains the parts of a module that are helpful for doing a certain job in your company. Workers who do the same processes over and over again will benefit greatly from the simplicity of a workspace. Workers such as customer service reps, who use many different aspects of a module to find the info they need, may find working directly in the module itself most efficient. Note that a workspace can contain functionality from more than module, but your workers must have the correct security role for each module included in the workspace.
A released product in D365FO is simply the product as released to a certain legal entity, as in the case of a distributor. Released products can have different attributes than the product itself. In other words, all businesses will have products, and some products in some businesses will have specific “released products.” For instance, if you sell the same breakfast cereal in the USA and Mexico, you may have 1 product but 2 different released products (perhaps with different packaging) in your system, released to the different distributors in the 2 countries.
Similar to products & released products, a product master in Finance & Operations is a general type of product that can have many variants. These are two different ways of organizing “families” of products in your system, and there is some overlap in their functionality. Released products are completely independent of one another. The product master controls some of the attributes of the variants. Many clients are drawn to the apparent simplicity of the product master + variant approach, but in practice the flexibility of product + released product is better for many situations and many companies.
The main difference in the D365FO system between an organization and a legal entity is that different legal entities must be reported on separately, whereas organizations can be reported on together. In many cases, you’ll want to be able to report on multiple brands in a single report, which is why organizations are generally best for those. Organizations in D365FO are very useful for individual brands, whereas legal entities are mostly useful in multi-company situations. Now, for some businesses using D365FO, your system may be configured to use only one legal entity (company) and one organization (brand). In that case, the two may be functionally identical.
A packing slip is an external document for a customer, whereas a picking list is an internal document for a warehouse associate. In the normal process of shipping items to customers, there will be both a picking list (so your workers know which items to ship) and a packing slip (so your customer can see a printed statement of what they’ve received).

This article describes the Data management framework's package representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API). The package API lets you integrate by using data packages. The REST API can be used with both cloud deployments and on-premises deployments.
Although on-premises support has been added, API names haven't been changed. Therefore, Microsoft can keep a single API set for both cloud deployments and on-premises deployments.
Two APIs support file-based integration scenarios: the Data management framework's package API and the recurring integrations API. Both APIs support both data import scenarios and data export scenarios. The following table describes the main decision points that you should consider when you're trying to decide which API to use.
| Decision point | Recurring integrations API | Data management framework's package API |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | Scheduling in finance and operations apps | Scheduling outside finance and operations apps |
| Format | Files and data packages | Only data packages |
| Transformation | Support for Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) if the data file is in XML format | Transformations that are external to the system |
| Supported protocols | SOAP and REST | REST |
| Service type | Custom service | Open Data Protocol (OData) action |
If you decide that the recurring integrations API meets your requirement better than the Data management framework's package API, see Recurring integrations. The rest of this article discusses the Data management framework's package API.
The Data management framework's package API uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize access. The API must be called by using a valid OAuth access token. For more information about OAuth 2.0 and Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), see Authorize access to web applications using OAuth 2.0 and Azure Active Directory. For on-premises deployments, Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is used for authorization.
When you use the Client Credentials Grant flow, the application maintains an access control list. You can find the access control list at System administration > Setup > Azure Active Directory applications. The Azure Active Directory applications page shows the approved client IDs and the user security mapping that should be enforced when the API is called by using the Client Credentials Grant flow.
For on-premises deployments, this list must have a valid client ID from AD FS. Additionally, for on-premises use, <baseurl> in the following examples must append /namespaces/AXSF when a connection is made.
When you use the Web API with JavaScript within HTML web resources, form scripts, or ribbon commands you don't need to include any code for authentication. In each of these cases the user is already authenticated by the application and authentication is managed by the application.
If you're creating a single page application (SPA) using JavaScript you can use the msal.js library as described in Use OAuth with Cross-Origin Resource Sharing to connect a Single Page Application.
When you use the Web API for on-premises deployments you must include the user’s network credentials. The following example is a C# function that will return an HttpClient configured for a given user’s network credentials:
private HttpClient getNewHttpClient(string userName,string password,string domainName, string webAPIBaseAddress)
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler() { Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password, domainName) });
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(webAPIBaseAddress);
client.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 2, 0);
return client;
}
When you use the Web API for Customer Engagement or an on-premises Internet-facing deployment (IFD) you must use OAuth as described in Use OAuth with Dataverse.
If you’re creating a single page application (SPA) using JavaScript you can use the adal.js library as described in Use OAuth with Cross-Origin Resource Sharing to connect a Single Page Application.
