AP Automation for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Are you a Dynamics 365 Business Central user and still managing vendor invoices using email? Did you think an enterprise grade AP automation solution that integrates with Business Central was out of your reach? What if there was an option to leverage what you already own to automate accounts payable invoice processing, namely Office 365? That is exactly what DynamicPoint has accomplished.  We have brought together Business Central, Office 365, and lastly, our EasyAP365 accounts payable invoice processing application to cost effectively receive, route for approval, and create the appropriate accounts payable transaction in Business Central for vendor invoices.

Why Do I need Invoice Automation with Business Central?

EasyAP365 automate the otherwise manual receipt, processing, approval and Business Central integration of accounts payable vendor invoices. Purchase Order (PO) invoices are matched direct to the POs that exist within Business Central. Non-PO invoices are coded to Business Central general ledger accounts.

Why Use Office 365 for AP Invoice Automation?

Microsoft Office 365 provides all the major building blocks for AP Automation including AI Builder OCR capabilities, Power Automate workflows and SharePoint document storage. As many Business Central customers also have Office 365, you get to leverage what you already own without buying and maintaining additional products. In addition, these tools provide greater flexibility in handling AP Invoice exceptions than other solutions.

How does DynamicPoint’s EasyAP365 work with Dynamics BC?

With DynamicPoint EasyAP365, Dynamics 365 Business Central will continue to serve as the system of record. There is no need to manage vendors in our application as we link directly to the vendor list in BC. We also perform integrations for GL account validation and invoice duplicate detection. After an invoice is approved it is directly integrated using Microsoft Business Central’s API. This method doesn’t require duplicate setup or data synchronization as we offer a live integration to deliver seamless Business Central compatibility. In addition to base Business Central support, we work with add on products such as Multi Entity Management (MEM) amongst others. Any transaction that is created in Business Central will contain a link to drill back to the EasyAP365 app to view the originating invoice. This gives you full visibility to access all of the Office 365 stored documentation directly from the Business Central interface.
