5 Minutes to AP Automation: How to Set Up Invoice Processing in Business Central
When an accounts payable automation solution is a one-size-fits-all solution that wasn't purpose built for the ERP system that you use, the implementation can take weeks. Fidesic is different. It's not because our solution is lighter or less robust, it is because we build our AP automation from the ground up for your AP system. Lean more about Why Seamless Integration Matters
In this post we will show you how Fidesic makes a 5-minute AP automation install possible for Microsoft D365 Business Central users
What Changed: Why Setup Takes Minutes, Not Months
Native AppSource Integration: Single-click installation from Microsoft AppSource. Automatic synchronization of vendors, chart of accounts, dimensions, and payment terms from Business Central.
AI-Powered Template-Free OCR: Legacy systems required building templates for each vendor—15-30 minutes per vendor. Modern AI processes any invoice format automatically with self-learning accuracy improvement.
Wizard-Driven Configuration: Guided setup through simple prompts. Finance teams complete configuration without technical expertise.
The 5-Minute Quick Start
Minute 1: Install Fidesic from AppSource within Business Central
Minute 2: Setup wizard auto-populates vendors and chart of accounts
Minute 3: Define approval routing (under $500: auto-approve, $500-$5,000: manager approval, over $5,000: two-level approval)
Minute 4: Add team members with role-based pricing ($9/month approvers, $29/month standard users, $59/month admins)
Minute 5: Configure invoice intake via email forwarding, upload, or inbox integration
Status: Live and processing invoices

Conclusion
Generic accounts payable automation solutions not purpose-built for specific ERP systems drag out implementation for weeks. Fidesic eliminates that delay—not by cutting corners on functionality, but by building AP automation from the ground up for Microsoft D365 Business Central, Dynamics GP and more ERPs to come.
Organizations can process their first invoice as early as day one. By the end of the month, a fully deployed approval workflow, active user adoption, complete payments workflow, and full customization to unique business requirements are all in place. That's the difference purpose-built integration makes.
