Introduction
Virtual entities offer a transformative bridge between Microsoft Dataverse and finance and operations apps, enabling seamless integration without the need to duplicate data into Dataverse. By harnessing virtual entities, you can take advantage of the full capabilities of Microsoft Power Platform in your finance and operations apps environment.
Functioning as virtual data sources, virtual entities facilitate create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) transactions to flow between Dataverse and Microsoft Power Platform, all while the data remains in its original app. To use virtual entities effectively, you need to make entities from finance and operations apps available as virtual entities in Dataverse, enabling CRUD operations from Dataverse on data that resides in finance and operations apps.
