What Is ExFlow Approval Web for Dynamics 365?

ExFlow Approval Web is a tool that simplifies the invoice workflow by providing a centralized, browser-based approval system within Microsoft Dynamics 365. Without it, businesses face delays, missed payments, and communication gaps that lead to late fees, compliance risks, and strained supplier relationships — especially when approvers are unavailable or remote.

Using our Approval Web solution, approvers can review, approve, and comment on invoices anytime, from any device. There’s no need to log into the ERP, thus reducing bottlenecks and speeding up final sign-offs. Fully embedded within D365, it ensures real-time accuracy and visibility, keeping financial processes efficient and under control.

Email Alerts and Extensive Approval Features

Once allocated, an invoice approval request email is sent with a direct link to the interface. All invoices awaiting confirmation or nearing past due date status are distinctly marked for easy identification.

Approvers can see all the invoices pending their confirmation as well as invoices associated with prior approvers in the sequence. Integration with Dynamics 365 provides a holistic view of all accounts, dimensions, and related business logic.

Seven Easy Steps to Invoice and AP Automation

1. Scanning and capture

ExFlow Data Capture supports all formats, including paper invoices, PDFs, and more. Documents are scanned and imported into an electronic workflow, reducing time-consuming manual processing. E-invoices can be imported directly into ExFlow.

2. Import and validation

Invoice payment information is interpreted down to the line level. Supplier, quantity, item number, and unit price data are imported and validated in Dynamics 365. Missing data can be adjusted or added manually.

3. Pre-coding

ExFlow provides intuitive auto pre-coding of all incoming invoices, streamlining the process and minimizing manual data entry for AP departments.

4. 3-way invoice matching

The invoice approval software uses the captured data to match invoices against purchase orders, contracts, and/or goods receipts to determine how the invoice should be processed. ExFlow enhances the standard 3-way matching in Dynamics 365.

5. Approval workflow

If an invoice doesn’t match or if discrepancies are identified, ExFlow routes the invoice for approval. A workflow is suggested using pre-defined approval rules or can be dynamically routed based on invoice data. Rules can be based on factors such as suppliers, accounts, dimensions, amount limits, etc. ExFlow also supports position hierarchies. Approvers are notified via email to ensure rapid approval.

6. Posting and archiving

The automated system posts approved invoices to the general ledger before being archived. AP staff always have a clear overview of the accounts payable process. Any invoice can be accessed directly from the Dynamics 365 workspace anytime.

7. BI and analytics

ExFlow uses Power BI for analytics and follow-up. Pre-packaged reports with key KPIs are included out of the box. All data is processed in real-time, ensuring that financial reports always show correct figures and creating audit trails that ensure regulatory compliance.

ExFlow AP Automation Enhances Efficiency

Handling accounts payable manually is inefficient, prone to errors, and often leads to higher costs for your organization. ExFlow AP Automation eliminates these challenges by streamlining invoice processing, from capture to approval and posting. By automating workflows, ExFlow reduces manual administration, improves accuracy, and ensures compliance with financial controls. With native inclusion within Microsoft D365, you can accelerate approvals, optimize cash flow, and gain full visibility into your AP operations.

For even greater flexibility, ExFlow Approval Web allows users to review and approve invoices from any device at any time. This intuitive, browser-based interface empowers teams to keep invoice approvals moving without being tied to their ERP, boosting productivity.
