About Pryme AP Automation

Pryme AP Automation is designed to simplify and streamline the purchase document process in Business Central (aka AP Automation).

About

In the receiving & register process, AI technology captures document data on line level and creates an incoming document in Business Central. If successfully interpreted, a purchase document is automatically created. Any failed document is corrected, and feedback is sent to the AI engine.

In the review & complete process, standard BC documents are enhanced with features to make it easier and more efficient to complete the purchasing document.

In the approve process, documents can be sent for approval based on standard workflow, enhanced with capabilities for line-level approval, approval rules based on dimensions or projects, and a simplified approval page.

In the post & pay process, documents are processed using standard procedures in Business Central.

The following fields can be validated:

  • IBAN

  • SWIFT

  • Bank Account No

  • Bank Branch No

Set up Notifications

There are different types of notifications that can be managed through the Notifications setup, found under the Approval User Setup page. These are standard Business central style notifications, learn more Setting up approval workflow notifications - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Notification type/trigger:

  • New Record – notification for a new record, for example a new incoming document.

  • Approval - notification for a new approval record, for example an approval of a purchase document.

  • Overdue – notification of overdue entries. When an entry is considered overdue is configured under each workflow, see section Workflows.

Notification method:

  • Email – an email is sent out to the user that should be notified.

  • Note – no email is sent out, only a notification in Business Central is created for the user.

  • Schedule/Occurrence settings - Notifications can be configured to be sent out immediately when a new record is triggering a notification. However, to limit the amounts of notifications sent, the notification schedule for a user can be set to send out a summary of the notifications created in different intervals. This must be configured on a user-by-user basis, the default value is immediate distribution of the notifications. For more details on the setup of notifications, see Setting up approval workflow notifications - Business Central | Microsoft Learn.

Simplified Approval Pages for Purchase Documents

Simplified approval pages for both purchase invoices and purchase credit memos. These pages display only the essential fields required for approvals, include a larger PDF preview for better document visibility, and now allow users to perform approval actions directly on the simplified pages, similar to the standard pages.

Permissions

To ensure efficient usage and access control, there are two distinct permission sets: Approver and Superuser.

Approver has targeted privileges, including the ability to handle approvals for purchase documents and access related Pryme AP Automation features out of the box.

Superuser has elevated privileges, including full access to all Pryme AP Automation features and comprehensive control over the system’s automation capabilities.

1.3 - Approvals and workflow setup

Learn how to set up Approvers and workflows

Before configuring workflows, approvers must be set up. A user must be designated as an approver in each step of the approval process.
Access the Approval User Settings through selecting the 🔎 icon, enter Approval User Settings, and select the related link.

Information on the Approval User setup, and how to test the flow, please see: Set up approval users - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Workflows

Workflows are used with Pryme AP Automation to automate document creation and set up document approvals. For detailed information on how to set up workflows in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, please see: Create approval workflows to connect tasks - Business Central | Microsoft Learn.

To set up workflows, select 🔎 and search for Workflows:

A new workflow can be created by the user or based on Workflow Templates. To create new workflows from a template, select New Workflow from Template in the menu.

Below follows documentation on the Pryme AP Automation workflows setup, Set up workflows for creation of incoming documents.

To set up workflows for automatic creation of Purchase documents from successfully read incoming documents, select the template Incoming Document OCR Workflow. Select if and which user should be notified about failed incoming documents and activate the workflow by clicking Enabled.

Set up workflows for document approvals

For document approvals the following workflows are available from the Workflow Templates:

WorkflowDescription
Pryme Purchase Invoice Approval WorkflowThis workflow is used for approval of Purchase invoices on header level.
Pryme Purchase Invoice Line Approval WorkflowThis workflow is used for approval of Purchase invoices on line level.
Pryme Purchase Credit Memo Approval WorkflowThis workflow is used for approval of Purchase Credit memos on header level.
Pryme Purchase Credit Memo Line Approval WorkflowThis workflow is used for approval of Purchase Credit memos on line level.

Added Approver types to approval workflows in Pryme AP Automation

In addition to the standard Approver and Workflow user groups types Salesperson/Purchaser, Pryme AP Automation adds two more Approver Types: Dimension Code and Project Manager. Below follows an explanation of how you can set up approvals based on Dimensions and Project Manager.

  • Dimension code: Select this option to set the approver based on dimension values. In the Dimension Code field, select which dimension code this workflow applies to.

    • To define approvers: select 🔎 and search for Dimensions, select the Dimension Code entered in your workflow and select Dimension -> Dimension Values from the menu. In the list that opens, an approver can be selected for each Dimension Value. This user will now be the first in an approval flow for this Dimension Value.
  • Project Manager: Select this option to set the approver based on selected Project Manager on a project. For this option to work, it will be required that your invoice (lines) have a Project No. assigned, and that the *Project selected has a Project Manager assigned.

Header-Level Approval 

When approval is at the header level, all lines share the same status as the header. This means: 

  • If the header is sent for approval, all lines are Pending Approval. 
  • If the header is Approved or Rejected, all lines follow that status. 
  • If the header is Open, all lines are also Open.

If the Purchaser Code is changed in the header, a prompt appears asking whether to update the Purchaser Code for all lines.

Line Approval for Purchase Documents

When approval is at the line level, users have the ability to approve individual purchase lines within documents. Each line can have its own status (Open, Pending Approval, Approved, or Rejected), providing more flexibility when handling approvals. Rejected lines can be modified and resubmitted.

This feature works alongside the existing workflow for approving the entire document, but only one workflow can be active at a time. For example, if lines are sent for approval, the header cannot be sent for approval, and vice versa.

With line-level approval, each line has its own approver. If there are multiple approvers, the header will show “Multiple Approvers.”

With header-level approval, all lines share the same approver.

2 - Stack Icons in Role Center

When a document is sent out for approval, it can be accessed though standard Business Central Tiles or through the Request to Approve page. Learn More about Approve or reject approval requests - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Added Stack Icons when installing Pryme AP Automation

About

Stack icons are available in the Role Centers for Accountant, Business Manager, and Accounts Payable Coordinator. These icons provide quick access to key document statuses.

Incoming Documents

When an invoice is sent to the designated email address for purchase documents, the system automatically processes the document and generates a corresponding Incoming Document.

If the document cannot be processed successfully, it is shown to the Failed Incoming Documents tile, where it remains available for manual review and necessary corrections.

Successfully processed Incoming documents, that have not been created as Purchase invoice or Purchase Credit memo yet is shown in the New Incoming Documents tile.

New Purchase Documents

For documents that are successfully processed, the system can automatically generate a corresponding Purchase Invoice or Credit Memo if the Workflow is enabled. The newly created document is then shown in the appropriate tile within the Role Center, providing clear visibility and easy access for further review, approval, or processing.

Purchase Documents Pending Approval

Once the document has been sent for approval, it is shown in the Purchase Documents Pending Approval tile. In this tile, the document awaits action from the designated approver, who can then take the necessary steps to either approve or reject the document. This stage ensures that all documents are properly vetted before they move forward in the approval workflow.

Purchase Documents Rejected

A document will show under Purchase Documents Rejected tile when it is rejected through the approval workflow. Rejected documents can still be modified and resubmitted for approval, following the standard Business Central process for documents with an “Open” status. This feature enhances visibility and control over documents that were not approved, ensuring that they can be adjusted as needed before being resubmitted for further approval.

Purchase Documents Approved

Once the document has been reviewed and approved, is shown in the Purchase Documents Approved tile, indicating that it is now ready for posting.

3 - Process

The process in Pryme AP Automation

Process introduction

Pryme AP Automation is an AI-powered solution that simplifies purchase document management. By utilizing AI technology, Pryme AP Automation captures incoming invoices from PDF or image formats, automatically converting them into structured, digital documents on a line level. Streamlining the process from incoming document to approval and posting of the invoice.

Pryme AP Automation can be configured to automatically create Purchase documents directly in Business Central. Businesses can fully automate the workflow and approval processes of purchase documents, from capture to posting.

3.1 - Receive and Review

Learn more about Receive and Review

Receive and create Purchase Document

When a document is sent to the designated email address, it is processed and interpreted by the AI engine. The information is then converted into an Incoming Document, ready to be created as a Purchase Document. The new incoming document will appear in Business Central within a maximum of five minutes.

When issues arise, such as data discrepancies or vendor mismatches, they must be resolved before the Purchase Document can be created. Learn how under the section Correct Data. These documents will be shown under the Failed Incoming Documents tile.

Review the created document

In this step you can complete the creation of the document, adding possible additional information before approvals and posting:

Do so by navigating to New Purchase Documents tile, select the document. Add or change the necessary information, for example dimensions, projects or other information not specified from the Incoming Document.

To make the Review step easier, there is a few provided productivity features implemented:

Map text to account available from additional pages

From the vendor or the purchase invoice you have quick access to the Map-text-to account page, enabling use of suggested lines on the Purchase documents based on recognized vendors and/or texts on the documents

PDF Viewer

There is a dynamic PDF viewer accessible in the Fact box pane from any page handling Purchase documents within Business Central. You can also zoom for better visuals, and it is possible to open and view the full-scale PDF in a separate window.

Create New Vendor from Incoming Document Details

If incoming documents contain vendor details not found in the current vendor list, the incoming document will fail to be created. Users can now create or select a vendor directly from the document, or the Correct OCR Data page, using the information from the incoming document. In combination, users can also use existing vendor templates for quick setup of new vendors

When the document is finalized, use the function “Approve-> Send Approval Request/Send Line Approval Request” to send the Document for Approval, or if no approval in enabled, go directly to Post to post the document directly.

3.2 - Correct data

Learn how to correct data when documents fails

Correct data from Incoming Document Details

If the document contains errors or missing details that prevent processing, the document is shown in the Failed Incoming Documents tile. To correct failed incoming documents, follow this guide:

  1. Click on Failed incoming Document tile.

  2. If data needs to be corrected from the AI Engine result, select Correct OCR Data (under OCR -> Correct OCR Data) and correct the information.

  3. Click on Send OCR Feedback (to further train the AI engine).

  4. If the document is from a new Vendor, or if information on existing vendor cards is missing, either a new Vendor can be created based on the information on the incoming document or an already existing vendor can be assigned to the document.

    • In case of a new vendor, see section Create New Vendor from Incoming Document Details.
    • In case of missing details on an already existing vendor, such as a missing VAT number that prevents the matching, the vendor can be selected in the Vendor No. field in the Financial information section on the Incoming document. From the drop down, existing vendors can easily be accessed and edited if necessary.
  5. When the document information is corrected and/or matched to a vendor, the document can proceed and be used to create a new Purchase Document by selecting Create Document (under Home -> Create Document)

A correct purchase document will now be created and automatically sorted in the appropriate tile.

Create New Vendor from Incoming Document Details

If Incoming Document contains vendor details not found in the current vendor list, the Incoming Document will fail to be created. Users can create or select a vendor directly from the document, or the Correct OCR Data page, using the information from the Incoming Document. In combination, users can also use existing vendor templates for quick setup of new vendors.

To update existing vendor information or to create a New Vendor follow one of these guides:

  1. Click on Failed incoming Document tile.

  2. Select New and Create New Vendor (from template if applicable).

  3. Complete the changes by selecting Create Document (under Home-> Create Document).

3.3 - Approvals

Learn more about approvals

Approvals

Approvals are an optional step in Pryme AP Automation. If you choose to use an approval workflow, you must configure and enable it beforehand, as described in Approvals and Workflow Setup. If an approval workflow is not configured, the approval function remains disabled, and the document can only be posted.

To send a document for approval, click on Request Approval on the purchase invoice menu bar.

  • Select Send Approval Request for documents requiring approval at the header level, or
  • Select Send Line Approval Request for documents needing approval at the line level.

For the document to reach the correct approver, you must assign an approver. This assignment is determined by the workflow configuration setup during the Workflow and Approval User Setup. The configuration uses criteria such as salesperson/purchaser, dimensions, or project number.

The assigned approver will receive an email notification with a link to the Requests to Approve page. This page is accessible through Pending Approval Tile in Business Central.

When the document is awaiting approval, it is shown under the Documents Pending Approval tile.

When the document is approved it is shown under the Purchase Document Approved tile.

Detailed descriptions

Approvals in Pryme AP Automation with Progressus installed

If Progressus is installed, Pryme AP Automation shifts approval assignments from user IDs to resources and adjusts field visibility to match. Here’s how it works.

Assigning Approvals

Approvals are tied to resource codes instead of user IDs. These codes link to user IDs through the User Setup table. Delegation follows the same mapping, so approvals route to the right people automatically.

Changes to Field Visibility

  • The Project No. field in Pryme AP Automation hides itself in purchase documents.
  • In Dimension Values, approver fields switch from user-based to resource-based options.
  • The system syncs changes between user-based and resource-based approvers seamlessly.

How Approvals Behave

Behind the scenes, the approval process stays the same. Approvals display as resources but still rely on user IDs to function. Pryme AP Automation detects Progressus and applies these changes for you.

PDF viewer

There is a dynamic PDF viewer accessible in the Fact box pane from any page handling Purchase documents within Business Central. You can also zoom for better visualisation, and it is possible to open and view the full-scale PDF in a separate window.

Remaining amount to match

In the Incoming document details fact box, you have information about the remaining amount that needs to be allocated on the invoice lines, so the purchase invoice matches the incoming documents amount. If the invoice total does not match the incoming document amounts, posting will be prevented. Therefore, if the sum of the lines is not matching the total from the Incoming document, a warning message will show before an approval flow is started.

Map text to account available from additional pages

From the vendor or the purchase invoice you have quick access to the Map-text-to account page, enabling use of suggested lines on the Purchase documents based on recognised vendors and/or texts on the documents.

Posting date set to document date on purchase documents

This features enables the possibiltiy to set the Posting date automatically to the document date, instead of today’s date or blank as possible in the standard Business Central functionality.

New Stack Icons in Role Centers

New stack icons have been added to the role centers for Accountant, Business Manager, and Accounts Payable Coordinators. These icons provide quick access to various document statuses, e.g. Invoices to approve, Failed Incoming Documents, New Incoming Documents, Purchase Invoices on Approval, Purchase Invoices Approved.

Create New Vendor from Incoming Document Details

If incoming documents contain vendor details not found in the current vendor list, the incoming document will fail to be created. Users can now create or select a vendor directly from the document, or the Correct OCR Data page, using the information from the incoming document. In combination, users can also use existing vendor templates for quick setup of new vendors.

Rejected Status for Purchase and Sales Documents

A new Rejected status has been added for both Purchase and Sales documents. This status is automatically applied when a document is rejected through the approval workflow. Rejected documents can still be modified and resubmitted for approval, following the standard Business Central process for the Open status. This provides better visibility and control over documents that were not approved and ensures that they can be adjusted as needed before being resubmitted for approval.

Bank account details validation

This functionality enables validation of IBAN, SWIFT, Bank Account No, and Bank Branch No on the Vendor Card against an incoming document. If there is a mismatch between the vendor’s saved details and the incoming document, automatic creation of purchase documents will be blocked, and a warning will prompt manual correction. Users can override this warning and enable or disable the feature globally or on a vendor-specific basis.

Line Approval for Purchase Documents

Introduces the ability to approve individual purchase lines within documents. Each line can have its own status (Open, Pending Approval, Approved, or Rejected), providing more flexibility when handling approvals. Rejected lines can be modified and resubmitted.

This feature works alongside the existing workflow for approving the entire document, but only one workflow can be active at a time. For example, if lines are sent for approval, the header cannot be sent for approval until the line workflow is completed, and vice versa.

Simplified Approval Pages for Purchase Documents

Simplified approval pages have been introduced for both purchase invoices and purchase credit memos. These pages display only the essential fields required for approvals, include a larger PDF preview for better document visibility, and now allow users to perform approval actions directly on the simplified pages, similar to the standard pages.
