Data entities

Data entities are the foundation bricks of a data management platform and serve many other purposes, such as integration, analytics, and office integration. Data entities provide a conceptual abstraction and encapsulation of the underlying table schema that represents the data concepts and functionalities.

For more details on data entities, please refer to Chapter 8, Integration Technologies, Planning, and Design. You can also refer to the Microsoft documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/data-entities/data-entities.

From a data management perspective, data entities enable scenarios for configuration data provisioning and data migration, as shown in the following image:

As shown in the preceding image, activities related to setting up a company, its parameters, and selecting reference and master data are within the boundary of the configuration data provisioning, where a number of tools are available.

The migration of open documents, master data, and supporting data could also be done using tools in LCS or using data management within Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.
