Bank reconciliation takes hours
The bank statement is downloaded from online banking, imported as a file, and payments without a clear reference are matched by hand.

Less keying, fewer documents to chase
Most of the time in a bookkeeping team goes on getting data in: invoices, bank statements and receipts. Business Central with the right apps fetches it automatically, so you spend the time checking instead of keying. We set up Continia and the bank integration to fit your flow.
Everyday challenges
Receipts arrive in piles
Employees hand in receipts at the end of the month, and you chase documentation and VAT amounts before closing.
Supplier invoices are keyed in
OIOUBL files, PDFs and paper each arrive by a different route. Approvals happen by email and are forgotten until the supplier sends a reminder.
VAT needs checking afterwards
Items and customers with the wrong VAT posting group cause errors in the VAT return. It is only discovered at the quarter-end close.
How Business Central solves it
AI-assisted bank reconciliation
With a bank integration such as Continia Banking, the bank statement comes straight into Business Central. The standard rules match the obvious, and Copilot suggests matches for the rest. You review and approve before anything is posted.
Receipts and supplier invoices
Supplier invoices as OIOUBL (the Danish e-invoicing format) or Peppol are read in directly, and PDFs are interpreted by Continia Document Capture or Microsoft's Payables Agent. Receipts are photographed in an app such as Continia Expense Management, and the document follows the entry all the way.
Workflows and approvals
Decide who approves what, by amount limit, department or project. The approver is notified and can approve from their phone, and you can see where the invoices are sitting and waiting.
Direct Excel integration
Open a list in Excel, edit data and send the changes back to Business Central. For recurring reconciliations and reports, Excel can pull data directly from BC, so you no longer have to export every month.
A typical workflow
- 1
The bank statement was fetched from the bank overnight. Standard rules and Copilot have suggested matches for most of the transactions.
- 2
You review the exceptions and post the rest.
- 3
The supplier invoices have come in as OIOUBL and via Continia, been coded and sent for approval.
- 4
You run the VAT return, close the period and give the auditor access with a full audit trail.
