GL Coding (Cost category)

• With the legacy connector, GL Coding was not possible. Now, GL Codes are imported into AP Essentials, and you can code all payable invoice line entries directly from AP Essentials.
• By allowing the user to define a GL Code Range, the connector also enables all new GL expense accounts entered within Business Central within the defined range to automatically be mapped to AP Essentials and vice versa.

Multi-Entity (Dimensions) Mapping

• Up to 8 Dimensions (e.g. departments, business units, etc.) within Business Central can be mapped to AP Essentials, enabling a user to tag Dimensions at the line level without having to leave AP Essentials.

Item Charges

• Ability to sync customer’s Item Charges (e.g. Freight, Handling, Restock, etc.) from Business Central to AP Essentials, allowing the customer to assign item charges to individual line items.

PO Matching (2-way match)

• Ability for AP Essentials to automatically match the invoice dollar amount and quantities to the Business Central PO, both at the header/total level as well as the individual line level.
• Several validations (within AP Essentials and Business Central), leading to a near 0% error rate

Approval workflow initiated from AP Essentials, kicking off approval workflow within BC

• With the legacy connector, there is no workflow in AP Essentials. Now, approval workflows can be initiated directly from AP Essentials vs. having to also login to BC to initiate an approval process on a payable invoice.
• Ability to do both:
  • Approval workflow can exist within AP Essentials and then mark BC approved
  • Approval workflow can exist within BC and be initiated from AP Essentials

3-Way Matching

• Enabling the 3-way Match option allows for Quantities Received data in Business Central to be automatically synchronized from Business Central to your Purchase Order Data within AP Essentials.
