INLOGICA Continia Document Capture

Reduce the number of documents by using Continia Document Capture

Document Capture is an innovative business solution based on OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology designed to optimize business processes.

By integrating Continia Document Capture with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can instantly scan invoices as soon as they are received. The scanned documents are automatically uploaded to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, meaning all items on the invoice are imported, stored, and assigned to the corresponding purchase order in the ERP system. If the invoice needs approval, the responsible person receives an email notification. The invoice can be approved in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central application and via a web browser. In addition, the approval process is recorded in detail, allowing purchasing managers to track the entire document approval process.

Document scanning and processing

Thanks to OCR technology, Document Capture enables the rapid scanning of all documents and their immediate distribution within the organization. The process begins when the documents are received. Once scanned and recorded, the documents are automatically sent to the ERP system – Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Document scanning can be performed using multifunctional devices and dedicated scanners.

PDF processing

Purchase invoices and orders are most often received in PDF format. With Document Capture, such files can be directly uploaded to Dynamics 365 Business Central from specific file server folders or directly from email. Moreover, the application can simultaneously import and process encrypted PDF files, eliminating the need to print and manually scan them.

OCR technology in Continia Document Capture

Document Capture uses one of the most recognized OCR technologies on the market, ABBY FineReader, to accurately recognize text in documents. This advanced technology effectively identifies barcodes, characters, and letters in as many as 180 languages.

Support for different types of documents

Document Capture is designed to work with a variety of document formats. Users can define custom templates for processing such documents as purchase orders, contracts, certificates, diplomas, or agreements. Creating rules that specify what data will be processed during document capture is also possible.

Document analysis and processing

Document Capture’s advanced document processing mechanism analyzes scanned files, extracts relevant information, and sends them to the appropriate templates. Documents are automatically assigned to the correct templates based on their source. These templates can be further optimized by applying validation rules and other requirements, ensuring the data complies with the standards and best practices in the ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Approval of purchase invoices

The relevant person receives an automatic email notification if a purchase invoice requires approval. The document can only be approved and processed once all responsible persons approve. During approval, these individuals can view the original document on their devices, add notes, and attach additional files. Document Capture also allows you to track the entire approval history, providing tools to help manage the process.

Purchase orders can be integrated with scanned invoices, automating approval, provided value differences are within set limits.

Backup and archiving

All scanned documents are stored in PDF/A format and can be accessed directly from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Documents are easy to locate with account or dimension numbering. It is also possible to use full-text search based on the content of the papers. This feature lets you quickly search the registered template fields and the full text of documents to find relevant information about suppliers or contracts. All original documents are securely stored in the Data Capture archive.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central licensing model

Spis treści
Modele licencjonowania Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central licensing model is mainly based on a flexible monthly subscription-oriented approach that provides companies with comprehensive ERP solutions under personalized plans. This option allows you to scale your resources based on your company’s needs while ensuring cost control.

A perpetual usage plan is also available based on the right to use the system license in perpetuity. The fee for this solution is divided into two components- a license depending on the number of modules and users and an annual subscription called Enhancement Plan.

The third solution is the on-cloud model (Software as a Service), in which all the basic infrastructure, middleware, and application data reside in a Microsoft Azure database. This option allows customers to get up and running quickly with minimal upfront cost.

License types and entitlements in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Licensing within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central includes a variety of entitlement types to suit the diverse needs of organizations. The primary license categories are Full Users and Team Members. At no additional charge within the license, Microsoft also grants one administrative user and one user for so-called external accounting.

We can divide the Full User license into two additional categories, but note that they cannot be combined within the same environment. These licenses are Essentials- providing access to financial, supply chain, project management, or sales and marketing functionalities. Premium- This allows you to perform all the functions of the Essentials category, further extending the capabilities to include service and production management.

A Team Members license user is a partial Dynamics 365 Business Central user. Its license privileges allow it to read any data in the system while significantly limiting its writing capabilities.

The Device license associated with a device is also worth mentioning. It allows you to assign a license to a specific device instead of a user. This is particularly useful when several employees use the same device (a terminal) in manufacturing plants or warehouses.

Essential license

A primary type of license designed for companies requiring access to most areas.

It allows access to such areas as Reports, Finance, CRM, Sales, Warehouse, etc. Users with this license can create and manage sales and purchase documents, track financial transactions, plan budgets, and generate reports.

It is more affordable than the Premium license, making it a fitting option for companies not deeply involved in intensive business operations but still needs access to the system’s vital information.

Premium License

A license with access to the full range of features included in the Essentials license is extended with additional capabilities, allowing you to take full advantage of the ERP system’s potential.

In addition to managing finances, sales, and purchases, it allows access to service management or production functions, such as planning and process tracking.

The Premium license is designed for companies that want to use the full potential of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Team Members license

It is designed for users who only require access to essential information and reports.

It allows viewing data, approving tasks, or generating reports but does not provide full editing capabilities or create transactions.

It provides a cost-effective option for employees who are not involved in intensive business operations but require access to the information contained in Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Integracja z Microsoft Outlook

Integration with Microsoft Outlook

It is possible to easily combine access to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with a Microsoft Outlook account through an add-in that allows you to manage business interactions with customers and suppliers directly in Microsoft Outlook. The Business Central add-on for Outlook will enable you to view financial data related to customers and suppliers and create and send financial documents such as quotes or invoices.

Summary

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers a variety of licensing options, enabling companies to customize their ERP system and support business growth. The licensing model is based on a flexible subscription, perpetual licensing, or an on-cloud solution. With Essential, Premium, and Team Member categories, enterprises can customize licenses to meet their business’s different needs and responsibilities. In addition, per-device and third-party accountant licenses enable simplified system use internally.

Dynamics Business Central provides tools to streamline business operations and helps make data-driven decisions.

What criteria should you consider when choosing an ERP system?

In the context of Microsoft ERP systems, namely Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, several criteria are worth considering when choosing the right solution. Here are the main aspects to pay attention to:

What are user opinions on various ERP systems?

User opinions on available ERP systems vary and depend on industry, company size, and individual needs. However, the differences in user opinions on ERP systems are mainly due to respective companies’ unique needs and expectations. Some users may be satisfied with the features and performance of Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, while others may prefer the features offered by the more extensive Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP system.

ERP systems are highly valued for their ability to increase productivity and streamline operations. However, choosing the right ERP system depends on a company’s needs, budget, and growth strategy. Therefore, please carefully review the available options before deciding and consulting with ERP experts.

What are the costs of implementing and maintaining an ERP system?
