You can use data entities to import data for goods in Dynamics 365 projects, such as for data migration or integration scenarios. This article outlines the contexts and use cases with links to the relevant entities.

Context and problem

Dynamics 365 contains multiple entities for importing products in a Dynamics 365 project. Choosing the best one depends on the type of products that you want to import.

• The Products V2 entity specifically refers to shared distinct products and product masters. These products are shared between all legal entities and need to be released before using them in transactions.

• The Released products V2 entity requires that the shared products be already created. When using this entity, the product will be released on the current legal entity.

To create both the shared product and releasing the product to a specific legal entity in one step, use the Released product creation V2 entity. However, this entity doesn't allow any updates, and the fields available are a limited set.
