Import Invoices into Business Central
with AI Extraction

No credit card required. 100 pages free.
How Business Central Invoice Import Works
Upload invoice PDFs
Drag and drop vendor invoice PDFs. Single files or batches of 50+. Digital or scanned, any format, any vendor.
AI extracts the data
Vendor name, document number, posting date, due date, line items, VAT, and totals are all extracted. Review and correct any field before export.
Export to Business Central
Download a CSV formatted for Business Central purchase invoice import. Import via Configuration Packages or data journals. No reformatting required.
What Data Gets Extracted
Every field Business Central needs to create a purchase invoice, pulled directly from the PDF.
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Vendor Name | Contoso Manufacturing Inc. |
| Document Number | PI-2024-04291 |
| Posting Date | 2024-11-15 |
| Due Date | 2024-12-15 |
| Line Items (description) | Stainless steel brackets, 50mm, pack of 100 |
| Line Items (qty / unit cost / amount) | 4 x $185.00 = $740.00 |
| Subtotal | $740.00 |
| VAT / Tax Amount | $96.20 |
| Total Amount | $836.20 |
Every extraction is math-validated: line items must sum to subtotal; subtotal + tax must equal total. Discrepancies are flagged before export.
