We are planning to implement ERPNext for a small to mid-size business, and want to understand how well it works with Microsoft products. Specifically, We are looking for guidance on:

Hosting ERPNext on Azure

Connecting ERPNext data to Power BI for reporting

Using Office 365 / Outlook integrations (emails, contacts, calendars)

If anyone has experience or best practices for these integrations, please share your insights or documentation links. Thanks.

    HI @Mohit Kumar

    It sounds like you're looking to integrate ERPNext with various Microsoft services. Here’s a breakdown to help you get started with each aspect:

    1. Hosting ERPNext on Azure:
      • You can host ERPNext using Azure App Services or Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), depending on your requirements. If you're looking for scalability and ease of management, Azure App Services might be a better choice. For full control and customization, an Azure VM could be the way to go.
    2. Connecting ERPNext Data to Power BI:
      • To connect ERPNext with Power BI, you can create custom connectors or export data to a service like Azure SQL Database, which can then be imported into Power BI. Microsoft provides extensive support for data connectors, making it easier to handle integration. This Power Query connector documentation could be a valuable resource.
    3. Using Office 365 / Outlook Integrations:
      • ERPNext can integrate with Outlook for emails, contacts, and calendars. You can achieve this by creating custom apps in Azure that can access Microsoft Graph API. The Graph API allows for interactions with Microsoft 365 data including emails and calendar events. You can find more on custom app integration here.
