You can use this the Dynamics 365 Business Central Create Snap to create records in the Business Central application for a specific entity.
The Business Central Create Snap does not allow upstream values for any fields (Company, Entity, etc.).

Limitations
The Business Central Create Snap supports a maximum Batch size of 100.
The Business Central Create, Update, and Delete Snaps do not support the respective operations for a few entities, such as Account, and display an exception when creating, updating, or deleting operations. Learn more about the API limitations: API documentation for Business Central.
Known Issues
Business Central metadata does not contain information about required fields. Therefore, the Mapper Snap upstream to the Business Central Create Snap does not display the mandatory fields (showing *) in the Target Schema, which is the expected behavior.
The Company field in the Business Central Create Snap is optional for a few entities, such as Subscriptions, and it is mandatory for the remaining entities. Therefore, if the field is left blank, the Snap displays the following error:
Workaround: Specify the Company name for mandatory entities.
The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Create Snap displays the following errors when you run the batch process with the error view enabled.
500 ( Internal Server Error)
Socket timeout error
Read timed out error
Workaround: Increase the Timeout value to 500 or more and decrease the batch size while keeping the default retry properties.

Choose from the following sentences to document specific field types.
Drop-down lists/Option Buttons (radio buttons):
You must list the LoV and describe them if their meaning isn't apparent. In this case, format the LoV in italics, regular font for the LoV's description. In either case, list the LoVs as a bullet list.
<State what the option should do in this field>. The available options are: <bullet list of LoVs>
Specify the Salesforce API to be used. The available options are:...Select the <category> that you want to use. Available options are...
* Option 1<italicized>. <third person singular form of the verb>
* Option 2<italicized>. <third person singular form of the verb>
Select the API that you want to use. Available options are:
Bulk API. Sends the Snap execution request details as a bulk API call.
REST API. ...
OR
Select one of the three following modes in which the Snap executes:
* Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation, then performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
* Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
* Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps downstream from it.
Check boxes:
If selected, <Snap behavior>.
If selected, an empty file is written when the incoming document has no data.If selected, <behavior>. If not selected/Otherwise, <behavior>
Use "If not selected" if the first sentence is long.
If selected, the Snap uses the file path value as is. Otherwise, the Snap uses the file path value in the URL.
If selected, an empty file is written when the incoming document has empty data. If there is no incoming document at the input view of the Snap, no file is written regardless of the value of the property.Select to <action>
Use this if the behavior is binary. Either this or that, where the converse behavior is apparent/obvious.
Select to execute the Pipeline during validation.
Text Fields
Describe what the user shall specify in this field. Additional details, as applicable, in a separate sentence. Include caveats such as the field being conditionally mandatory, limitations, etc.
Enter the name for new account.
Specify the account ID to use to log in to the endpoint.
Required if IAM Role is selected.
Do not use this field if you are using batch processing.
Numeric Text Fields
Describe what the field represents/contains. Additional details, as applicable, in a separate sentence. Include caveats such as the field being conditionally mandatory, limitations, etc. Include special values that impact the field's behavior as a bullet list.
The number of records in a batch.
The number of seconds for which you want the Snap to wait between retries.
The number of seconds for which the Snap waits between retries.
Use the following special values:
* 0: Disables batching.
* 1: Includes all documents in a single request.
Notes in field descriptions
Confluence’s new editor does not allow nesting of most macros inside another macro, especially the Note/Alert/Warning/Info (Panel) macros inside a table macro and Excerpt macros inside Expand or Panel Macro+ macros. So, as a workaround use the Footnotes approach as mentioned below:

Account validation failed.
The Pipeline ended before the batch could complete execution due to a connection error.
Verify that the Refresh token field is configured to handle the inputs properly. If you are not sure when the input data is available, configure this field as zero to keep the connection always open.
Examples
Excluding Fields from the Input Data Stream
We can exclude the unrequired fields from the input data stream by omitting them in the Input schema fieldset. This example demonstrates how we can use the <Snap Name> to achieve this result:

Examples
This example pipeline demonstrates how to use Business Central Snaps to create, read, update, and delete records in the application.
...
Step 1: Configure the Mapper Snap with the different fields you want to add to the record.
...
Step 2: Configure the Business Central Create Snap with the Company name that is registered with the Business Central application, the Entity, and the Batch type as shown. The output shows the inserted record with an ID generated automatically.
 |  |
Step 3: Configure the Mapper Snap with the fields that you want to update for a specific ID.
...
Step 4: Configure the Primary Key in the Business Central Update Snap when the ID populates in the field. On validation, the output shows the updated record.
 |  |
Step 5: Configure the Primary Key in the Business Central Read Snap. On validation, the Snap reads the record from the application and displays the information in the output view.
 |  |
Step 6: Configure the Primary Key in the Business Central Delete Snap when the ID populates in the field. The record is deleted on validation, and the success message is displayed in the output view.
