AP Streamlining

Dynamics GP
1

I would like to get a cloud service with native integration to GP for AP automation, PO approvals (including inventory items) and a dynamic expense system that integrates with our company credit card. Am I asking for too much, or does anyone know of a solution that will do all of this? My dream is to move the PO process to the cloud with it writing back to GP, so when we move to a new system, the PO process does not change for creators or approvers.

@Brooke_Maier -

There are many options out there with a variety of integration/functionality options. Most common integration method is via GP’s eConnect toolset.

There are too many to name so I’ll just mention the most common ones our GP clients use for one or more of the processes you mentioned that (I believe) all integrate with some version of eConnect: Mekorma, PaperSave, Gorilla Expense.

All of these are generic good-for-most industries but there are a whole bunch of others that are industry-specific.

There are also many with more manual integration but are common cloud products (like Bill.com that abandoned their eConnect connector :frowning:).

Hi Brooke,

Look for a single Procure-to-Pay (P2P) or Spend Management solution that is ERP-agnostic.

This type of platform sits between your users and GP, handling the full workflow in the cloud, and then uses GP’s APIs (like eConnect) to write the final transaction back to GP.

How it handles all three:

  1. PO Approvals: The platform manages the requisition and multi-level approval matrix. Once approved in the cloud, the native connector creates the PO record in GP, validating inventory items and codes before commitment.

  2. AP Automation: The same platform uses AI for invoice capture and performs two-way/three-way matching against the cloud-managed PO data. It then creates the final Vocher transaction in GP.

  3. Dynamic Expenses: The platform includes an integrated Expense Module with direct credit card feeds. It manages the expense reports and posts the final GL Transaction to GP.

In summary: Focus your search on vendors known for integrating with both legacy ERPs (GP) and modern D365 systems. This future-proofs your solution, ensuring the user experience remains consistent regardless of your underlying ledger.
