Key Features
AI/OCR invoice capture that reads PDF and image vendor invoices and maps header + line data into the Business Central Purchase Invoice via the REST/OData v4 API
Configurable 2-way and 3-way PO matching against open purchase orders and posted purchase receipts, with per-tolerance quantity and amount checks
Native integration with Business Central's built-in Approval Workflow engine — approval entries, approver hierarchies, and delegation honored, not bypassed
Exception routing: tolerance breaches, missing PO, or price variances are held and sent to the correct approver instead of auto-posting
Duplicate detection on vendor + invoice number + amount fingerprints to block double payment of the same invoice
Fraud heuristics that flag vendor bank-detail changes and out-of-pattern amounts before posting for human review
Multi-company visibility across Business Central companies in the same tenant, with a consolidated AP exception queue
Job queue entries for scheduled mailbox/folder polling so capture runs unattended on your defined cadence
Table and page extensions surfacing capture status, match status, and confidence score directly on the Purchase Invoice card and list
Scoped permission sets so AP clerks, approvers, and admins each see only the actions their role allows
Event-subscriber-based AL code (no base-app modification) for a clean, upgrade-safe extension across BC release waves
Optional Dataverse / Power Platform bridge for Power Automate flows and approvals surfaced in Microsoft Teams
About this Product
AP Invoice Automation (AI Capture) is a build-to-order Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extension that removes manual keying from your accounts-payable cycle. ECOSIRE engineers it in the AL language, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your own Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), and supports it after go-live. This is not an instant AppSource download — it is a scoped engagement tailored to your chart of accounts, dimensions, approval hierarchy, and vendor base.
Why Choose AP Invoice Automation (AI Capture) for Business Central
AI/OCR invoice capture that reads PDF and image vendor invoices and maps header + line data into the Business Central Purchase Invoice via the REST/OData v4 API
Configurable 2-way and 3-way PO matching against open purchase orders and posted purchase receipts, with per-tolerance quantity and amount checks
Native integration with Business Central's built-in Approval Workflow engine — approval entries, approver hierarchies, and delegation honored, not bypassed
Exception routing: tolerance breaches, missing PO, or price variances are held and sent to the correct approver instead of auto-posting
Duplicate detection on vendor + invoice number + amount fingerprints to block double payment of the same invoice
Fraud heuristics that flag vendor bank-detail changes and out-of-pattern amounts before posting for human review
Incoming vendor invoices (email-to-folder, drag-drop, or an inbound mailbox you nominate) are read by an AI/OCR capture service. Captured header and line data is pushed into Business Central through table and page extensions over the Purchase Invoice and Purchase Header/Line tables, so AP clerks work inside the standard role centers they already know. The extension wires into BC's native Approval Workflow engine, job queue for scheduled polling, and the REST/OData v4 API for the capture round-trip.
The matching engine performs configurable 2-way and 3-way matching against open purchase orders and posted receipts, flags tolerance breaches, and routes exceptions to the right approver via workflow. Duplicate and fraud heuristics check vendor + invoice-number + amount fingerprints and bank-detail changes before anything posts.
Because it is your tenant's own extension, ECOSIRE controls the upgrade path against each Business Central release wave, scopes the exact permission sets, and can extend into Dataverse / Power Platform (Power Automate, approvals in Teams) when you want approvals outside the BC client. You get clean event-subscriber-based code, a documented object-ID range, and a handover that survives your next BC update.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central extension (.app) built in AL, installed on your cloud SaaS or on-prem environment by ECOSIRE
- Configured AI/OCR capture pipeline connected to your nominated inbound mailbox or document folder
- 2/3-way matching rules and tolerance tables configured to your purchasing and dimension setup
- Approval workflow configuration wired into BC's native workflow engine with your approver hierarchy
- Defined permission sets for AP clerk, approver, and administrator roles
- Job queue entries configured for your unattended capture and matching cadence
- Technical handover document: object-ID range, event subscribers, dependencies, and upgrade notes
- Admin and AP-user guide plus a UAT walkthrough on your own tenant before go-live
Who this is for
AP / Finance Manager
Owns the payables cycle at a mid-market Business Central customer. Wants invoices captured, matched, and approved without a clerk re-keying every line — and wants exceptions surfaced instead of silently auto-posted.
Accounts Payable Clerk
Processes high volumes of vendor invoices daily. Needs capture and matching to happen inside the familiar BC Purchase Invoice screens, with clear confidence and match-status indicators, not a separate disconnected tool.
Business Central Administrator / IT Lead
Responsible for tenant health and the BC upgrade path. Needs a clean per-tenant extension with scoped permission sets, no base-app modification, and a documented upgrade story across release waves.

Frequently Asked Questions about AP Invoice Automation (AI Capture) for Business Central
+How is this delivered — is it an instant AppSource download?
No. This is a build-to-order engagement. ECOSIRE builds the extension in AL specifically for your environment, then installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central tenant (cloud SaaS or on-prem). It is not published as an instant-install AppSource app, which is exactly why it can be tailored to your chart of accounts, dimensions, approval hierarchy, and vendor base.
+What is the typical delivery lead time?
A standard implementation runs roughly 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff: scoping and access setup, AL development of the extension and capture pipeline, matching and workflow configuration, then UAT on your own tenant before go-live. Complex multi-company setups or heavy Power Platform integration extend this. We confirm a firm timeline after the scoping call.
+Do I get ongoing support and updates after go-live?
Yes. Because the extension lives on your tenant as your code, ECOSIRE supports it after delivery — including fixes, configuration changes, and recompiling/validating the extension against each Business Central release wave so a Microsoft update does not break it. Support terms are agreed as part of the engagement; we do not abandon the extension after install.
+Does this work across multiple companies in our tenant?
Yes. The extension provides multi-company visibility across the Business Central companies in your tenant, with a consolidated AP exception queue. Matching rules, tolerances, and approval hierarchies can be configured per company while administrators retain a cross-company view.
+Will this survive our next Business Central upgrade?
It is designed to. The extension uses event subscribers and table/page extensions rather than modifying the base application, and ships with a documented object-ID range and dependency list. ECOSIRE validates and recompiles it against new BC release waves as part of ongoing support, so your AP automation keeps working through Microsoft's update cycle.
