Reinventing Accounts Payable: Introducing the Payables Agent in Dynamics 365 Business Central

✅ Business Value

Manual Accounts Payable (AP) tasks like retrieving invoices, verifying data, and creating purchase entries are time-consuming and prone to error. With the new Payables Agent in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (public preview from July 2025), organizations can now automate and accelerate these AP processes—giving accounting teams more time to focus on high-value financial analysis.

At Square International Technologies Consulting, we see this as a game-changer for finance teams across the UAE and beyond.
