Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations
Master Data Synchronization
The integration synchronizes master data between Dynamics 365 and AP Essentials using ODATA. For example, Dynamics 365 suppliers (vendors), purchase orders, items (articles), procurement categories, currencies, and sales tax groups are imported, so they are available for invoice processing in AP Essentials.
Language Option
When importing items master data, Kofax AP Essentials imports items in the language specified in the Dynamics 365 language settings if translations are available.
Document processing using DIXF
This includes creating vendor invoice headers, lines, attachments (invoice image) and tracking inside Dynamics 365.
Custom Field Mapping
Automatic field mapping and data templates for mapping custom fields are available.
Dynamics AX 2012
Multiple Purchase Orders
The Dynamics AX 2012 integration supports invoices with multiple purchase-order numbers.
Three-Way Item Matching
The Dynamics AX 2012 integration supports three-way item matching if line-item rows are flagged for three-way item matching.
Credit Note Registration
AP Essentials can identify credit notes via a field on the invoice that is set during verification. Negative amounts can also be used to specify a credit note.
Invoice Journal Registration
Invoice journal registration is supported for non-PO invoices that are used with Workflow services.
Purchase order validation
AP Essentials automatically checks to ensure that the invoice's PO number is valid for the current company and supplier.
Organization mapping
Dynamics AX companies and legal entities are easily mapped to customers within AP Essentials.
Master-data synchronization
The integration synchronizes master between Dynamics AX and AP Essentials. For example, Dynamics AX dimensions are imported, making them available for selection when performing account coding. AP Essentials also imports currency and exchange-rate master data from Dynamics AX.
AP Essentials also automatically synchronizes master data of companies that use master data from virtual companies in Dynamics AX. For virtual companies, master data is supported for suppliers, GL accounts, and coding dimensions.
Multiple Account Types
When posting is made, each coding line has an account type, such as ledger, project, fixed asset, bank, customer, and vendor. Users doing coding need to know which account type to use. While in most cases, the type ledger is “good enough,” we can foresee situations where more types should be supported.
Invoice + Credit Note Registration
Purchase order (PO) and non-PO invoices are supported. Invoices are registered as vouchers within a journal in Dynamics AX. A journal can contain multiple vouchers, but the integration only registers one voucher per journal. Kofax AP Essentials can identify credit notes via a field on the invoice that is set during verification. Negative amounts can also be used do specify a credit note.
