Top 5 AI Invoice Data Capture Solutions for Dynamics GP and Business Central

AI invoice data capture has become a standard expectation for accounts payable teams. Most tools now promise to read invoices, extract data and push it into your ERP. For AP managers on Microsoft Dynamics GP or Business Central the real question is which tool fits your ERP, your invoice volume and your team. Here is a fast look at five leading options.

The Top 5 at a Glance

1. Fidesic MagiCapture

Background: Fidesic is an AP automation provider focused on the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem. Founded in 2008, the company has been part of the Dynamics community since 2010 and has focused on Business Central since 2021.

• AI capture that needs no invoice templates and gets more accurate with each submission
• 96% of invoices captured without edits
• Native Business Central integration written in AL, the same language as BC
• Supports both Dynamics GP and Business Central for teams planning a migration
• Human backup when AI can't capture an invoice, with the Fidesic team making sure it's entered properly
• Full suite including approvals, ACH and check payments and a vendor portal
• Setup, configuration and AI agent services included as part of the relationship

Best fit for: Dynamics GP and Business Central teams that want accurate AI capture, native integration and a partner that stays involved through setup and beyond.

2. Continia Document Capture

Background: A long established document capture add-on for Business Central and its predecessor NAV, widely used across the BC partner channel.

• Built as a Business Central extension
• OCR capture with learning over time
• Strong European footprint and partner network
• No direct support. Typically implemented and supported through a reseller partner
• Not designed for Dynamics GP

Best fit for: Business Central organizations only. Those who prefer to buy and support capture through their existing BC Partner, and can rely on their ERP Partner to support it.

3. Microsoft Payables Agent for Business Central

Background: Microsoft's built-in AI agent for AP in Business Central. It is available out of the box in cloud deployments of BC version 24 and higher.

• Sources vendor invoice attachments from email and SharePoint and creates purchase invoice documents in BC for review
• Human review step before invoices are finalized
• Uses consumption based billing through Copilot Credits
• Accuracy depends heavily on how well vendor records are maintained
• Business Central cloud only with no GP support
• Capture focused rather than a full AP suite

Best fit for: BC cloud users with clean vendor data, low invoice volume and simple AP needs who want to experiment with built-in AI.

4. Stampli

Background: A cross ERP AP automation platform with a collaboration centered design. It offers no-code integration with more than 70 ERPs and accounting platforms including Dynamics GP and Business Central.

• AI invoice capture and coding
• Invoice level communication hub for approvers
• Payments through a companion product
• Broad ERP coverage rather than Dynamics specialization
• Integration built to serve many ERPs rather than written natively for BC

Best fit for: Organizations running multiple ERPs that want one AP platform across all of them.

5. AvidXchange

Background: A large AP automation and payments company serving the mid market.

• Invoice capture and approval workflow through AvidInvoice
• Large supplier payment network
• Payments focused business model
• Broad ERP connectivity including Dynamics
• Integration approach is general rather than Dynamics specific

Best fit for: Mid market companies whose top priority is outsourcing vendor payments at scale.

How They Are the Same

• All use AI or OCR to extract invoice header and line data
• All aim to reduce manual data entry and speed up approvals
• All include some form of human review before posting
• All connect to Microsoft Dynamics in some way

How They Are Different

• ERP depth: Fidesic and Continia are built for Dynamics while Stampli and AvidXchange serve many ERPs
• GP support: Fidesic and Stampli support both GP and BC while Continia and Payables Agent are BC focused
• Scope: Payables Agent covers capture while Fidesic, Stampli and AvidXchange service the entire AP process from capture through payment
• Exception handling: Fidesic backs its AI with a human team and offers custom setup and optimization advisory
• Pricing model: Options range from subscription plans to consumption based credits

Pricing Models

• Fidesic: Priced per user monthly with unlimited invoices. Invoice volume growth does not raise the subscription, and ACH runs $.49 each. Enterprise pricing is available by custom quote.
• Continia Document Capture: Usage based subscription billed through a partner. Cost for Business Central online depends on the modules chosen and the number of documents registered per month. The minimum monthly fee includes a set document allowance and adjusts automatically as usage changes.
• Microsoft Payables Agent: Consumption based. Billing runs through Copilot Credits drawn down as the agent processes invoices, so cost rises with volume.
• Stampli: Custom quote with usage based pricing. Pricing keys off invoice volume rather than user count, and payments and card modules are priced separately from the core AP subscription.
• AvidXchange: Custom quote subscription plus transaction fees. Pricing scales with invoice volume, payment activity and integration requirements, and implementation and onboarding fees may apply.

Conclusion

Every tool on this list can read an invoice and send data to Dynamics and improved efficiency is assumed. What separates each of these is how deeply each tool fits GP or Business Central and how much human help comes with it.

Not every decision comes down to a feature list. A capture tool that looks great in a demo can still stall if setup is left to your team. Fidesic pairs its AI capture with services built to make projects succeed. Custom setup services configure Fidesic around your chart of accounts, entities and approval rules. Prebuilt AI agents handle common AP tasks from day one while custom AI agent services tailor automation to your specific workflows.

For AP managers on Dynamics GP or Business Central that combination of native AI capture and hands-on service makes Fidesic the strongest choice for a successful rollout.
