How it works

Connects via BC API.

Stratas integrates with Dynamics 365 Business Central through direct API connections, syncing vendor records, dimensions, posting groups, and purchase orders automatically.

01

Connect to Business Central

Direct API integration with Dynamics 365 Business Central. Vendor records, GL accounts, dimensions, and posting groups sync automatically.

02

Capture invoices

Forward invoices from any channel. Data Forge reads headers, line items, and tax breakdowns from PDFs, scans, and e-invoices.

03

Match & approve

Automatic matching against BC purchase orders and receipts. Variance handling follows your existing BC tolerances and approval workflows.

04

Post to Business Central

Approved invoices create purchase invoice documents in BC with correct dimensions, posting groups, and VAT product codes.

Business Central capabilities

Built for BC workflows.

Stratas respects your Business Central configuration: dimensions, posting groups, and approval entries work exactly as you've set them up.

PO matching with receipts

Match invoices against BC purchase orders and posted receipts. Line-level and header-level matching with configurable tolerances.

Dimension mapping

Global and shortcut dimensions from Business Central are preserved on every posting. AI learns dimension assignments from your history.

Posting group compliance

Vendor posting groups, VAT product posting groups, and general posting groups are applied automatically. No manual selection needed.

Approval entries integration

Approval workflows in Stratas can mirror your BC approval entries. Or use Stratas workflows for more granular routing rules.

Multi-company consolidation

Process invoices across multiple BC companies from a single Stratas dashboard. Each company maintains its own rules.

Document attachment

Original invoice PDFs attach to the BC purchase invoice record automatically. Full traceability from source document to ledger entry.
