Built to Work with Your Existing Business Central Stack

365ContainerImport runs natively inside Dynamics 365 Business Central. There is no separate system to log into, no data sync to manage, and no API connection to maintain. It also integrates with 365WineTrade for wine and spirits importers who need container management alongside their wine trade workflows, and with Power BI for visual dashboards showing container status, landed costs, and inventory in transit. 

  • What is 365ContainerImport for Business Central?

    365ContainerImport is a proprietary app developed by Western Computer that adds container import management capabilities directly to Dynamics 365 Business Central. It enables importers and distributors to consolidate purchase orders into containers, track shipments in real time, calculate item-level landed costs, manage container capacity, and maintain visibility into inventory from origin to final destination. Developed by a Microsoft Inner Circle partner, 365ContainerImport provides native container import management within Dynamics 365 Business Central.

  • How does 365ContainerImport handle FOB receiving and landed cost?

    365ContainerImport allows you to receive FOB items into a transition inventory location in Business Central before the goods physically arrive at your facility. Inventory ownership is transferred at the point of FOB receipt while the container is still in port or on the water. Landed costs (freight, duties, insurance, and other charges) are applied to items in transit by volume, quantity, weight, or custom allocation methods, giving you accurate landed cost calculated at the individual item level before the container is received at the final destination. This data flows directly into Business Central item ledger entries and value entries.

  • Does 365ContainerImport support lot number tracking?

    Yes. 365ContainerImport includes a Lot Number Reassignment feature that allows lot numbers to be reassigned during transfer receipt. This is important for importers who receive goods with supplier lot numbers that need to be mapped to internal lot numbering conventions upon arrival. Lot tracking integrates with Business Central's standard item tracking functionality.

  • Can 365ContainerImport handle drop shipments?

    Yes. The Drop Shipment feature in 365ContainerImport delays the creation of a Transfer Order and allows items to be shipped directly from the in-transit container location to the customer. This supports importers who need to fulfill customer orders directly from incoming containers without routing goods through a warehouse first.

  • What Business Central versions does 365ContainerImport support?

    365ContainerImport is built for Dynamics 365 Business Central, the current Microsoft cloud ERP platform. It is available on AppSource and is maintained and updated by Western Computer as a supported ISV add-on. Contact Western Computer to confirm compatibility with your specific Business Central version and deployment type (cloud or on-premises).

  • How does 365ContainerImport integrate with 365WineTrade?

    365ContainerImport integrates with 365WineTrade, Western Computer's wine and spirits ERP solution powered by Dynamics 365 Business Central. Wine and spirits importers using 365WineTrade can manage container imports alongside their wine trade operations, tracking wine shipments, applying landed costs for freight and duty, receiving FOB inventory at port, and transferring product to bonded warehouses or final destination locations, all within a single Dynamics 365 Business Central environment.

  • Is 365ContainerImport available on Microsoft AppSource?

    Yes. 365ContainerImport is available on Microsoft AppSource as a certified Business Central add-on developed by Western Computer. Western Computer implements, supports, and maintains the product. It integrates natively with Business Central without requiring a separate database, API connection, or data synchronization process.
