# Generation

Generation is the process of transforming Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central data into external data.

Business Integration Solutions generates arbitrarily complex data in different formats from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The following steps occur:

1. An event in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central triggers the generation.
2. A record set is constructed based on the event information.
3. An XML document is generated from the record set, as defined by the internal document definition.
4. (Optional) The XML document is mapped to another XML document, as defined by the external document definition.
5. (Optional) The XML document is translated to the final format.
6. An endpoint writes the final document to an external system.
