About this template
What This Workflow Does
Large wholesale buyers pay many invoices in one wire with deduction codes, and A/R spends days applying each line in Dynamics 365 Business Central. On a schedule this template downloads new EDI 820 files from SFTP, splits the remittance by invoice, checks open Business Central invoices, maps deduction codes to GL accounts and creates cash receipt journal lines, alerting Microsoft Teams when a code or short pay cannot be explained.
Key benefits
- Scheduled pickup — New EDI 820 files are collected from the trading partner folder.
- Line-level matching — Each invoice in the remittance is checked against Business Central.
- Deduction mapping — Reason codes route to the right GL accounts.
- Exceptions parked — Unknown codes and short pays stay unapplied and alert Microsoft Teams.
Inside the flow
How the template works
On a schedule the flow lists the SFTP folder, downloads new EDI 820 files, parses them and splits each invoice payment. Matched lines with recognized deductions become Business Central cash receipt journal entries, and exceptions go to Microsoft Teams.
Parse the remittance
The EDI 820 is translated into payment totals, invoice references and deduction codes.
Split by invoice
Each invoice payment and deduction is processed on its own line.
Check Business Central
Sales invoices and lines are fetched to confirm the open balance matches the payment.
Map deductions
Deduction reason codes, such as marketing allowances or damaged goods, are mapped to GL accounts.
Post or escalate
Balanced lines become cash receipt journal entries; unknown codes or short pays stay unapplied and alert the A/R manager in Microsoft Teams.
