Commercial Invoice

In the aftermath of Brexit, you might be left wondering how imports and exports are now handled from EU and non-EU countries.
Commercial invoices are now standard documentation when dealing with importing. A standard commercial invoice contains vital information on the goods you intend to ship. They’re also used to create a customs declaration. It’s essential to get all this documentation right to ensure the continued productivity of your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helping you understand how we can support your business.

How does Continia Document Capture automate invoice processing in Business Central and what does it replace?

Continia Document Capture uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) combined with AI to automatically read incoming supplier invoices (whether they arrive by email or in paper form) and bring the data directly into Business Central. It then automatically matches invoices to existing purchase orders through a three-way matching process, routes them through configurable approval workflows, and stores them in a secure, searchable archive. This replaces the traditional manual process of keying in invoice data, chasing approvals via email, and filing paper copies, saving significant time and reducing the risk of errors or duplicate payments.

Can employees submit expenses on their phone, and does the Continia expense app work with Business Central automatically?

Yes, the Continia Expense Management mobile app is designed for exactly this. Employees can photograph receipts directly from their phone, log mileage using Google Maps route suggestions, claim daily allowances with built-in per diem functionality, and submit credit card expenses, all from the app. Once submitted, the data flows automatically into Business Central and is routed through your approval workflow without any manual rekeying. Finance teams get a real-time view of employee spending, and the whole process is dramatically faster and more accurate than traditional paper-based expense claims.

We send a high volume of invoices and remittances to customers every month. Can Continia automate that outgoing document process too?

Continia Document Output is designed specifically for this. It gives you full control over outgoing documents like invoices, statements, remittances, and reports, allowing you to automate email distribution, personalise emails and PDF templates for different customer groups, schedule documents to send in the background, and maintain a complete archive of everything sent. It also helps prevent the risk of sensitive documents being sent to the wrong recipient, which is a common pain point for businesses sending large volumes of outgoing correspondence from Business Central.

How does Continia Payment Management work and is it more secure than processing vendor payments manually?

Continia Payment Management connects directly to your bank and allows you to manage all vendor, employee, and customer payments from within Business Central. You can handle multiple banks, foreign currencies, and bulk payments in just a few clicks, with approval workflows built in to ensure every payment is authorised before it's sent. The system includes IBAN validation, statement intelligence to optimise reconciliations, and the ability to batch payments to reduce overall banking fees. Compared to manual payment runs, it significantly reduces the risk of errors, fraud, and unauthorised payments.

What is Yavrio Open Banking and how does connecting our bank account directly to Business Central help with reconciliation?

Yavrio uses Open Banking technology to create a live, secure connection between your bank accounts and Business Central, meaning your bank transactions feed directly into the system in real time rather than requiring manual statement imports. This makes bank reconciliation far faster and more accurate, as transactions appear in Business Central as they happen and can be matched against posted entries automatically. The integration supports connections to over 2,000 banks across 19 countries and uses a simplified, secure authentication process, giving your finance team a much cleaner and more controlled view of your cash position at any given moment.
