Getting Business Central on Your Mobile Device

Access your Business Central data from your mobile device. You can navigate through your business data, use features such as send to Excel or Microsoft 365, view up-to-date charts and KPIs, email sales quotes and invoices, and shoot and attach pictures with your camera. Follow the steps below to download the app and get started.

Get the app on my mobile device

  1. Install the Business Central app on your mobile device by downloading the app from the Windows Store, App Store, or Google Play.

  2. Launch the app from your mobile device.

  3. Enter your user name and password that you created during sign-up for Business Central and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If your Business Central has more than one production environment, then you will be asked to choose the environment that you want to access (requires Business Central 2020 release wave 2 and later).

You should now have access to Business Central and can view and edit data.

Tip

If you want to connect the app to a sandbox environment, choose the Advanced options button, and then choose the Cloud sandbox sign-in option. Then, if you have more than one sandbox environment, choose the relevant environment.

Using Business Central on-premises?

If you're using Business Central on-premises, you can also enjoy the benefits of the mobile app. The installation is similar, but with a couple exceptions.

  1. Install the Business Central app on your mobile device by downloading the app from the Windows Store, App Store, or Google Play.

  2. Launch the app from your mobile device.

  3. Instead of entering an email address on the Welcome page, choose the Advanced options button, and then choose the On-premises sign-in option.

  4. On the next page, in the Service name box, enter the web address that you use to open Business Central, such as https://mybusinesscentral:443/BC170. If you're not sure, ask your administrator.

  5. Next, enter your user name and password for accessing Business Central.

    When completed, the Business Central App will open.

Note

If you're having problems getting the app to work properly, talk with your administrator. It could be a missing prerequisite or an incomplete configuration. For more information, see Preparing the environment for the mobile app or Troubleshooting the Business Central Mobile App On-Premises.
