AP Automation for ERP Applications

Are you an ERP use that is still managing vendor invoices using email? Did you think an enterprise grade AP automation solution that integrates with your ERP was out of your reach? What if there was an option to leverage what you already own to automate accounts payable workflow, namely Office 365? That is exactly what DynamicPoint has accomplished.  We have brought together ERP Systems, 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 the ERP system for vendor invoices.

Why Do I need Invoice Automation with my ERP?

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

DynamicPoint’s approach is to continue to fully support the ERP as the accounting system of record. We query vendors directly from the application, validate GL accounts, verify invoices are not duplicates and ultimately create the accounts payable or purchasing transaction directly in the ERP.  There are no syncs or data being moved from one system to the other.  We instead use live integration to deliver seamless ERP compatibility. Any transaction that is created in the ERP 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 ERP interface.
