Tax capture before posting
Invoices issued against the company enter Abstra early. The team sees the expense before it becomes a cash surprise — the pattern in Dynamics projects with high tax volume.
Abstra + Dynamics 365Dynamics 365 integration with automation and AI for finance
Abstra captures, validates, and prepares the posting. Write-back goes into the Dynamics 365 you already use: Business Central and Dynamics 365. Exceptions go to a queue with an owner, with an audit trail.

What is Dynamics 365 integration with Abstra?
Abstra is the AI automation platform for finance, integrated with Dynamics 365. It connects what sits outside the ERP (email, bank, spreadsheet, portals) and posts the result back to Business Central and Dynamics 365, with an audit trail.
Dynamics 365 connected to the rest of finance
Abstra links Dynamics 365 to banks, city halls, tax portals, and other systems the team already uses. Posting stays in the ERP; capture and rules run connected.

Dynamics 365 specialists on the team
Abstra has specialist professionals in Dynamics 365 on the team. Flow, landscape access, and write-back are designed by people who already deliver finance integration on this ERP. The pilot needs fewer round-trips and reaches a stable first posting faster.
Landscape quality
The right connector, service user, and environment from the pilot on.
Delivery speed
Less back-and-forth between finance and IT to unlock write-back.
Operation with a trail
Exceptions with an owner and history ready for close and audit.
How it works in practice
Abstra captures the document, applies rules, opens an exception with an owner, and writes back to Dynamics 365. The same design repeats on the landscape you already use.
01
Capture
Invoices, slips, statements, card charges, or travel files arrive via email, API, spreadsheet, or connector.
02
Validation
Rules for PO, vendor, cost center, tax, and duplicates. Anything off-pattern becomes a queue with an owner.
03
Write-back to Dynamics 365
Posting into Dynamics 365 via the landscape connector, with a preview when the process needs it.
04
Audit trail
History of what posted, what stopped, and who approved. Ready for close and internal control.
What teams build with Abstra and Dynamics 365
What shows up in Dynamics projects: tax capture, pre-registration, and expense predictability.
PO validation and queued mismatches
The document matches PO, vendor, and tax. Anything off-pattern becomes a queue with an owner before Dynamics write-back.
Pre-registration in Business Central
Posting lands in Dynamics already prepared. Finance reviews exceptions; the rest moves without mass typing.
Cash and close with a trail
With capture stable, cash and reports reflect what actually came in — with history of what posted and what stopped.
Abstra vs iPaaS vs native Dynamics 365 automation
Three common paths when finance needs to integrate Dynamics 365. The choice changes who runs the flow, where rules live, and how audit shows up day to day.
| Criterion | Abstra | Generic iPaaS | Native / custom in Dynamics 365 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who operates it | Finance with support from our specialist team | IT / integration | IT / ERP partner |
| Autonomy and customization | Team customizes flows and builds dashboards with AI, without an IT queue | Changes almost always become a technical project | Depends on custom work or a partner |
| Process focus | AP, reconciliation, cash, owned exceptions | Move data between systems; little ready-made for finance | Transactions and config inside the ERP |
| Write-back to Dynamics 365 | Yes, via the landscape connector | Only if someone builds and maintains the connector | Native in the landscape |
| Outside the ERP | Email, bank, spreadsheet, portals, and invoices | Doesn’t always cover what finance needs day to day | Limited to what Dynamics 365 and the partner cover |
| Audit trail | Flow, exception, and approval history | Technical integration logs | ERP / custom logs |
| Best when | You want to connect finance end to end, quickly and securely | You only need to move messages between systems | The rule already lives only inside Dynamics 365 |
If the goal is to connect finance end to end to Dynamics 365 - capture, rules, exceptions, and posting - with autonomy for the team to customize and build dashboards with AI, Abstra is the most direct path. Generic iPaaS usually stops at data transport; native/custom fits when the rule already lives only inside the ERP.
How Abstra talks to your Dynamics 365
The finance process is the same. Below is the technical connector for this landscape — API, auth, and field detail.
Dynamics Business Central
Business Central via API / OData
Tax documents and POs go through Abstra and land pre-registered in Dynamics, with mismatches queued before write-back.
- Invoice capture and PO validation
- Pre-registration in Dynamics
- Owned exceptions
Frequently asked questions
Does Abstra replace Dynamics 365?
The main path is to connect. Abstra automates what sits outside the ERP and posts the result back to Dynamics 365, which remains the system of record. At some customers, processes that no longer need to live in the ERP start running on Abstra — without forcing a Dynamics 365 rip-and-replace.
How does Dynamics 365 access security work?
In enterprise accounts access usually starts in DEV or a pilot, with a least-privilege service user, scope limited to the agreed flow, and VPN when the landscape requires it. Expansion then follows IT change control.
Can we start with accounts payable only?
Yes. AP and invoice capture are usually the first win. Once that base is stable, the same design scales to cash, reconciliation, and close on Dynamics 365.
What is the difference between Abstra and a generic iPaaS?
A generic iPaaS is usually data transport between systems, with IT in the driver’s seat, and doesn’t always cover what finance needs day to day. Abstra is the finance automation platform: rules, owned exceptions, Dynamics 365 write-back, and autonomy for the team to customize flows and dashboards with AI — with support from our specialist team.
How is this page different from the connector pages?
This page shows what finance gains in the process. The connector pages hold the technical API, auth, and field detail so IT can go deeper.
Does Abstra use RPA to talk to Dynamics 365?
The default is API or a structured file. RPA only enters when the landscape has no other door and the operational risk is clear for finance and IT.
How long does a Dynamics 365 integration pilot take?
It depends on the landscape and the first process, but the typical design starts with a narrow flow (for example AP) in a pilot environment, with a limited service user. The goal is a stable write-back and an operable exception queue.
