Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 and the battery passport: integration pattern
How data from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 (Microsoft) reaches the battery passport through the BatteryPass API: interfaces, workflows and when we checked them.
An integration pattern, not a ready-made connector: your ERP or integration platform reads and writes through the BatteryPass API with an organisation key. The details below come from the vendor documentation and were checked on the date given.

According to Microsoft, extended support ends on 11 January 2028. New integrations should target the Business Central API; until the upgrade, a file export with the generic preset is enough.

Matching workflows
Units from production
Serial numbers from the production confirmation or goods receipt are staged as an import; members review, commit and approve before any passport appears.
Passport links back into the ERP
The middleware follows the change feed and writes the GS1 Digital Link and the passport status to the serial number record in the ERP, so labels and delivery papers carry it.
Returns and repairs as lifecycle events
Completed repairs, inspections and component replacements from service or return orders appear as events in the unit's history.
Import presets
- Generic CSV file: For any ERP and for files a middleware writes itself: GTIN, serial number, manufacturing date, facility (name or GLN), model version and battery status, with German and English column names.
