Frequently Asked Questions
Can I automate Three-Way Matching in Business Central?
Yes. Continia Document Capture is designed for doing this in Business Central. It goes beyond simple data extraction to perform automatic three-way matching (pairing invoices to existing Purchase Orders and Receipts). If the amounts match within your defined thresholds, the invoice can be posted automatically without human intervention straight into Business Central.
Can Business Central AP handle recurring invoices like rent or software subscriptions?
Yes, it can with the Continia add-on and feature called Purchase Contracts. It recognises recurring invoices from specific vendors and, if the amount matches the expected contract value, automatically approves and posts them in Business Central, saving your team from reviewing the same bills every month.
Can I process vendor invoices in Business Central without manual entry?
Yes, with Continia Document Capture, it is a Business central Add-on. It uses built-in OCR to extract data from PDFs, e-invoices, or scanned documents and automatically populates fields like invoice lines, vendor, amounts, and dates. Workflow rules help automate approvals and posting.
Is there a mobile app for tracking employee expenses within Business Central?
Absolutely. Continia’s mobile app and web portal let users submit receipts, mileage, per-diems, and credit card expenses, which sync directly into Business Central and can be auto-matched to transactions .
Can I send branded invoices and reminders from Business Central?
Yes, with the help of Business Central add-on Continia. It provides over 20 preconfigured email templates (e.g. invoices, statements, delivery notes, reminders) within Business Central. You can also design custom templates and track email delivery.
Does Business Central support e-invoicing formats like PEPPOL and XML?
It can with add-on application Continia. You can now use the Continia Delivery Network, which is built into the standard Business Central E-Documents framework. This allows you to receive and process structured Peppol/XML invoices directly. For advanced automation (like matching these e-invoices to POs), we recommend the full Continia Document Capture solution.
