The Shop Floor Production uses both Dataverse synchronisation and real-time synchronisation via a Custom Connector (API). Depending on the Shop Floor Production setup, the posting of entries will be processed via standard Dataverse synchronisation or real-time via API integration. The API is created and configuredby importing the Shop Floor Production Custom Connector Solution in your Power Apps Environment. For more information about custom connectors, click here.

Also, an app registration must be created and a Key-Vault setup in Azure which are both requirements for the Custom Connector. This is because the Custom Connector is using OAuth to access Business Central.
