ERP connection to Financialforce
For all who might have this ERP system. It seems that there is no extra connecter is needed. FF is a native app to salesforce on the force.com plattform. That means that the data is stored in the salesforce data center together with the rest of SF data and can be accessed with PowerBi by using the SF connector.
maybe that is also for others helpfull!

bjp for system for which there is no in-built connector like financialforce you can either connect straight to their database or make use of APIs (if available) using web connector and obtain data that way. If you can't go down that path then perhaps add that to the Ideas section and based on number of votes it may be actioned.
Thank you very much for your advice.
Since I am right now not know how to connect to the database directly or to use the API from then I will suggest it in the idea section and also ask FF about their ideas how to connect.

BjörnHi Björn,
I'm curious to hear how your experience went building out your Power BI reports and dashboards. Did the connector allow you to get all of the information that you needed out of the FinancialForce application?
