A worked example

Business Central for professional services firms, from inbox to posted record

Imagine a consulting firm running Business Central that receives a subcontractor invoice reimbursable to a specific client engagement, it has to be coded to the project to bill through. DynamoDocs picks it up from the monitored inbox (or a drag-and-drop upload), and AI reads every field and line, no template required. Each line gets a suggested GL account from your rules and coding history, then the document is validated against totals, required fields, and your own checks. Anything that fails is flagged field-by-field for a quick review; everything clean posts straight into Business Central as a purchase invoice through the Business Central API v2.0. Connects to Business Central online through the standard API v2.0, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Your professional services team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so finance advises the business instead of keying vendor bills.

Business Central for Professional Services FAQ

How does DynamoDocs handle professional services documents on Business Central?

For professional services firms, vendor bills, subcontractor invoices, and client-related expenses arrive constantly and finance keys each one in by hand. DynamoDocs captures each of those documents from a monitored mailbox or upload, reads every field with AI (no per-vendor template), suggests a GL account for each line, and posts it into Business Central through the Business Central API v2.0. Connects to Business Central online through the standard API v2.0, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Clean documents post automatically; only exceptions reach a person, so finance advises the business instead of keying vendor bills.

How does a vendor or subcontractor invoice coded to a client or project post into Business Central?

It becomes a purchase invoice in Business Central, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Posts purchase invoices, sales orders, and sales quotes, creating the header and then each line. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Business Central expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.

Does it assign client, project, or engagement on Business Central records?

DynamoDocs suggests a GL account for each line from your keyword rules and from how the same part or description was coded before, and a person confirms it. It does not assign client, project, or engagement. The Business Central connector posts a fixed set of fields (party, dates, currency, and each line's account or item, quantity, and amount), so those codes are added in Business Central after the record lands. Anything that fails a validation rule is flagged field-by-field for a quick fix before it posts.

How do purchase orders and RFQs from professional services firms post into Business Central?

Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a sales quote in Business Central, with every line, vendor and subcontractor invoices coded to clients or projects included, read and validated first. Carries the vendor or customer no., the vendor invoice no., and each line's item or G/L account no. through the map.

How much time and money does this save professional services firms on Business Central?

Keying one document into Business Central typically takes 5–10 minutes and costs $2–$6 in labor, before the cost of fixing a mis-keyed line. DynamoDocs does it in seconds and only flags exceptions, so the labor left is the review time on those, while finance advises the business instead of keying vendor bills.
