What took an AP clerk four steps, now takes none

From inbox to Microsoft Dynamics 365, nothing waits on a person. LayerNext handles capture, validation, PO matching, and posting end to end.

Documents arrive from anywhere

Email inbox, shared folders, supplier portals, or cloud storage. Invoices are picked up automatically the moment they land.

Unstructured documents understood

LayerNext reads PDFs, scanned images, and inconsistent supplier formats that OCR and EDI tools miss, extracting line items, taxes, and totals with no templates required.

Checked against your rules and POs

Pricing, tax treatment, and tolerance thresholds are checked per vendor. Invoices are matched to purchase orders automatically.

Entered directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365

Validated entries post straight into Dynamics 365: through its API for Business Central and Finance & Operations, and through the ERP's own screens for legacy Dynamics such as GP and NAV.

Common questions

What is Dynamics 365 AP automation?
Dynamics 365 AP automation is the use of software to capture, validate, match, and post supplier invoices into Microsoft Dynamics 365 without manual keying. LayerNext does this with AI agents that read any invoice format, check it against your POs and rules, and post the result into Dynamics 365 automatically.
Does LayerNext require a Dynamics 365 API?
No. LayerNext does not require you to build or maintain a Dynamics 365 API integration. For Business Central and Finance & Operations, LayerNext uses the available Dynamics 365 API where it helps. For legacy Microsoft Dynamics systems like GP and NAV, LayerNext agents operate the ERP through its own screens, the same way a person does.
Does LayerNext work with Business Central, Finance & Operations, and legacy Dynamics?
Yes. LayerNext works across the Microsoft Dynamics family. For modern, cloud-based products like Dynamics 365 Business Central and Finance & Operations, LayerNext connects through their APIs. For legacy on-premises systems including Dynamics GP, NAV, SL, and AX, LayerNext agents run the ERP through its user interface using computer-use automation.
Can LayerNext post invoices into Dynamics 365?
Yes. LayerNext posts validated invoice data directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365. After reading, validating, and matching each invoice to its purchase order, LayerNext posts the entry through the Dynamics 365 API for Business Central and Finance & Operations, or through the ERP's own screens for legacy Dynamics systems. Every posting is logged with a full audit trail.
How does LayerNext handle PO matching?
LayerNext matches every invoice to its purchase order inside your Dynamics 365 workflow before posting. The AI agent compares prices, quantities, and receipts against the PO and your per-vendor tolerance rules, then flags pricing mismatches, quantity discrepancies, or missing POs as exceptions for your finance team to resolve.
How long does implementation take?
LayerNext deploys in weeks, not months. Because LayerNext connects to Microsoft Dynamics 365 through its API or its own interface, there is no lengthy integration project and no ERP replacement. Setup is founder-led and scoped to your Dynamics environment, supplier base, and finance workflows, so most teams see AP running on autopilot quickly.
