AP automation for Dynamics 365 Business Central connects Business Central to software that captures supplier invoices, codes them to the general ledger, routes approvals, matches them against purchase orders and receipts, and pays suppliers. Centime syncs purchase invoices, purchase orders, item receipts, suppliers, and payments in both directions, so payables and the Business Central ledger stay aligned without exports or duplicate entry.

Posting Groups, Respected

Business Central resolves GL accounts through posting groups, not an account picked on the invoice — the detail most payables software gets wrong.

Centime syncs supplier posting groups and the general posting setup, so a coded bill resolves through the same rules Business Central would apply itself.

Location and units of measure carry through as well, along with item charges, which is how freight and duty get allocated to inventory cost rather than expensed at the wrong point.

The Draft-to-Posted Lifecycle Stays Intact

Invoices move through capture, coding, and approval as a draft, and post only on approval — never early.

Automation that flattens the draft/posted distinction either posts too early, leaving accountants reversing entries, or holds everything in draft and defeats the point.

The connector also runs standardization and validation before anything reaches Business Central, catching malformed records at the boundary rather than after they post to the ledger.

Three-Way Matching Against POs and Receipts

Match type is set for the company and overridable per supplier — goods suppliers and service suppliers can follow different rules.

Two-way matching compares the invoice to the purchase order; three-way matching adds the receipt, so an invoice for undelivered goods is held rather than approved.

Item lines are checked against receipts while expense and freight lines are matched on amount, with tolerance passes recorded separately from real mismatches.

Invoice Capture and AI Coding

Centime reads header and line-item detail as invoices arrive, and predicts the GL coding before a person approves.

Captured invoices move into the draft-to-posted workflow already coded, with the AI's suggestions sharpening as it sees more of your spend.

A reviewer approves before anything posts, so the books stay under your team's control while the manual keying disappears.

Does Centime integrate with Dynamics 365 Business Central for AP?

Yes. Centime syncs purchase invoices, purchase orders, item receipts, suppliers, and payments in both directions with Business Central, so both systems stay aligned without manual export or duplicate entry.

Does Centime respect posting groups?

Yes. Supplier posting groups and the general posting setup are synced, so a coded bill resolves to the general ledger through the same rules Business Central applies itself rather than through an account chosen on the invoice.

Does Centime do three-way matching in Business Central?

Yes. Business Central records item receipts, so invoices can be matched against both the purchase order and the receipt, with match type set for the company and overridable per supplier.

When does an invoice actually post to Business Central?

On approval. Invoices remain draft documents through capture, coding, and approval, which preserves the distinction Business Central draws between draft and posted records.

Does this work with Dynamics GP?

Centime's live Business Central integration is the supported Dynamics path. Teams running Dynamics GP should talk to us about the migration timeline before committing.

Is our payables data secure?

Yes. Centime is SOC 2 Type II compliant, an independent audit standard covering how a software provider handles and protects customer data, with bank-grade security.
