About this Product
E-Document Inbound Automation for Business Central is a custom AL extension we build, install and support on your own Business Central tenant. It is not an instant AppSource download — it is engineered to your vendor mix, document formats and approval rules, then deployed as a per-tenant extension.
The extension builds on Business Central's native E-Document framework. We register an inbound E-Document Service and AL event subscribers that pick up structured invoices arriving by Peppol Access Point, OData/REST upload, SMTP-captured attachment, or an incoming-document import. Payloads in UBL 2.1, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, Factur-X and ZUGFeRD are parsed and validated, then drafted into Purchase Invoice or Purchase Order documents via the standard purchasing tables and pages.
A learning vendor and item mapping layer resolves the supplier's GLN/VAT and line identifiers to your Vendor and Item (or G/L account) records, remembering manual corrections so accuracy improves over time. Three-way PO matching compares received quantities and prices against open purchase orders and receipts; clean documents flow straight through, while mismatches, missing mappings and tolerance breaches are routed to an exception queue for AP review. Duplicate detection keys on vendor, document number, amount and hash to stop double entry.
Background processing runs through the BC Job Queue; dedicated permission sets scope access; and an optional Dataverse / Power Platform hook lets you trigger Power Automate approvals. We deliver the source as a signed extension, hand over documentation, and provide post-launch support and BC update compatibility under a maintenance agreement.
What you get
- Signed per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) installed on your sandbox and production environments

- Vendor and item mapping tables pre-seeded from your existing master data with the learning layer enabled
- PO matching rules and tolerance configuration tuned to your purchasing policy
- Permission sets and Job Queue entries for scheduled background processing
- Administrator and AP-user documentation plus a recorded handover walkthrough and post-launch support window
Who this is for
AP Manager scaling e-invoice volume
Owns accounts payable and is seeing structured Peppol/UBL invoices grow past what manual keying can handle. Wants straight-through processing for clean documents and a clear exception queue for the rest.
Business Central Administrator
Responsible for the BC tenant, extensions and integrations. Needs a clean per-tenant AL extension that uses event subscribers and permission sets rather than modifying core objects, and that survives BC version updates.
Finance Controller / Compliance Lead
Accountable for e-invoicing mandates, audit trails and duplicate-payment prevention. Wants validated UBL/Factur-X/ZUGFeRD ingestion, traceable matching, and Power Platform approval visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions about E-Document Inbound Automation for Business Central
Is this a download from Microsoft AppSource?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. We engineer it to your vendor mix, e-invoice formats and approval rules, then install it as a signed per-tenant extension on your own Business Central environment. There is no instant AppSource listing or self-serve download.
How long does delivery take after I order?
Typical lead time is about 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff, depending on the number of inbound channels, formats and the complexity of your PO matching rules. We begin with a short scoping call, deploy first to your sandbox for validation, then promote to production once you sign off.
What inbound formats and channels are supported?
UBL 2.1, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, Factur-X and ZUGFeRD out of the gate, arriving via a Peppol Access Point, an OData/REST upload endpoint, SMTP attachment capture, or manual incoming-document import. Additional national UBL variants can be added during scoping.
How does PO matching and exception handling work?
For each inbound document the extension performs three-way matching of quantity, unit price and amount against open purchase orders and posted receipts within configurable tolerances. Clean documents are created straight through; anything that fails matching, validation or mapping is routed to an exception queue for an AP user to resolve.
What about ongoing support and Business Central updates?
Under a maintenance agreement we provide post-launch support, bug fixes, and compatibility testing against Business Central major and minor updates. Because it is built on event subscribers and the native E-Document framework rather than core modifications, version upgrades are low-risk and we validate each one before you apply it.
