The Vendor Invoice OCR & AP Automation Agent is a custom AL extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that removes manual keying from accounts payable. Drop a PDF or image invoice into a monitored mailbox and the agent captures it, runs OCR + AI line-item extraction, maps the vendor, validates against the originating purchase order and posted receipts, and creates a draft Purchase Invoice in BC ready for review or fully touchless posting.
This is not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE designs, builds, and installs it as a per-tenant extension directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), wires it to your document-capture service, and supports it after go-live. We scope it to your vendor mix, chart of accounts, dimensions, and approval policy.
How it works in Business Central
- Capture — a monitored Microsoft 365 mailbox (Graph-subscribed) or drag-and-drop feeds invoice files into an Incoming Documents queue. A Job Queue Entry polls and processes new arrivals.
- Extract — OCR + an AI model (Azure AI Document Intelligence or an equivalent the agent calls over HTTPS) returns vendor, invoice no., dates, totals, tax and line items into a staging table extension.
- Match — an AL codeunit performs configurable 2-way or 3-way matching against
Purchase Header/Purchase Lineand postedPurch. Rcpt.records, flagging price/quantity variance within tolerance. - Route — clean invoices post automatically; exceptions raise a native BC approval workflow entry to the right approver.
- Post — the agent creates the Purchase Invoice via standard posting routines so your GL, VAT, and audit trail stay correct.
Delivered with permission sets, an installation/upgrade codeunit, configuration pages, and documentation. Honest lead time and a support plan are part of every engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vendor Invoice OCR & AP Automation Agent for Business Central
+How long does delivery take and what is the lead time?
This is built-to-order, not an instant download. After a short scoping call we typically deliver a working per-tenant extension in roughly 3 to 5 weeks, depending on your vendor mix, matching rules and approval complexity. You get a fixed milestone plan up front: scoping and configuration design, then build and sandbox install, then UAT on your test environment, then production install and training. We confirm the exact lead time in writing before work starts.
+What ongoing support and updates do I get after go-live?
Every engagement includes a support period for bug fixes and tuning of extraction and matching accuracy. Because Microsoft ships Business Central major updates twice a year, we offer an optional maintenance plan that keeps the extension compatible with each release wave, applies AL deprecations, and adjusts the OCR/AI integration as needed. We monitor errors via Application Insights telemetry and can add new vendors, document layouts or approval rules on request.
+Does this work on Business Central cloud (SaaS) and on-premises?
Yes. It is delivered as a per-tenant AL extension that installs on Business Central online (SaaS) or supported on-premises deployments. Email capture uses Microsoft Graph against a Microsoft 365 mailbox; the OCR/AI call is made over HTTPS to Azure AI Document Intelligence or an equivalent endpoint you approve. We confirm fit against your specific BC version during scoping.
+Will it post to the wrong account or pay a duplicate invoice?
No clean-by-default behavior overrides your controls. Every extracted field carries a confidence score; low-confidence captures are held for human review rather than posted. Duplicate detection checks vendor number plus external document number before creating an invoice, and only invoices that pass your matching tolerances and approval workflow post automatically. GL accounts, VAT and dimensions default from rules you sign off during configuration.
+Is this an official Microsoft AppSource app?
No, and we do not claim it is. It is a custom extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports directly on your tenant as a per-tenant deployment. That means it is shaped to your processes rather than a generic one-size listing, and there is no public AppSource link to download. If you later want it hardened for AppSource publication, that can be scoped as a separate engagement.
