From Manual to Automated: How DynaPro Delivers ROI in 90 Days

Nearly 40% of purchasing cycles still rely on manual approvals and email chains, a drag on speed and control that costs organizations time and budget.

DynaPro changes that by centralizing requisitioning, sourcing, and automated purchasing inside Business Central. Users access configured catalogs, supplier info, and approval paths from the familiar interface, cutting swivel-chair work and training time.

The result is faster requests, clearer ownership, and audit-ready trails. Conditional approvals, budget checks, and automated invoice tasks reduce errors and free teams to focus on strategy.

Designed to complement your core platform, DynaPro activates key features quickly so the path from request to purchase order shortens dramatically and ROI becomes measurable within 90 days.

Why DynaPro for Dynamics 365 BC: Fixing gaps in your procurement ERP system today

With DynaPro, teams move from ad hoc requests to consistent, policy-driven buying inside Business Central. The extension replaces email and spreadsheet intake with a guided form that captures items, quantities, delivery dates, and required documentation.

From manual requisitions to controlled approval workflows

Multi-level approvals and conditional rules are centrally managed so requests route to the right reviewers. Thresholds, roles, and exceptions reduce bottlenecks and speed decisions.

Budget checks run early, warning stakeholders before commitments occur and enforcing financial policies to lower compliance risk.

Close the visibility gap with supplier, pricing, and inventory data

Supplier master records, price lists, and product catalogues converge with inventory levels and live data. Buyers compare options, attach justifications, and submit from a single Business Central screen.

• Automatic conversion of approved requests into correct purchase orders reduces re-keying and errors for goods and services.
• Standardized workflows and centralized documentation create auditable trails for compliance and reporting.

Quick adoption comes from a familiar UI and clear ownership paths. To learn how DynaPro can streamline procurement in Business Central, see our overview: streamline procurement in Business Central.

e-procurement, Dynamics 365 BC, procurement ERP system: How DynaPro centralizes requisitioning, sourcing, and automated purchasing

By unifying request capture, supplier selection, and automated ordering within Business Central, DynaPro reduces manual handoffs and speeds approvals. The platform guides requesters to enter items, quantities, dates, and required docs in one familiar interface.

Convenient requisitioning: create, route, and convert

Request forms validate data and auto-route based on thresholds. Approved requests convert directly into correct purchase orders to cut re-keying and errors.

Strategic sourcing: quotes, catalogues, and PunchOut

Buyers compare supplier quotes side-by-side and shop curated vendor catalogues. Punchout access returns vendor carts with accurate codes and pricing via cXML, keeping category mapping intact.

Automated purchasing and control

Policy-driven rules standardize ordering, streamline order management, and automate invoice matching. This reduces cycle time and lowers exceptions before payment.

Approvals, governance, and visibility

Multi-level approval workflows and conditional logic enforce compliance. Detailed audit trails track requests, orders, and invoices for fast review.

• Real-time visibility: inventory levels, supplier metrics, and spend analysis inside workflows.
• Integration: data sync preserves item, vendor, and pricing integrity across processes.
• Usability: features live in the Business Central UI for quick adoption.

Proving ROI in 90 days: outcomes you can measure in the present

Reducing manual touches unlocks immediate gains: fewer delays, fewer errors, and clearer ownership. These outcomes translate into measurable improvements in cycle time, cost control, and compliance within the first 90 days of adoption.

Cycle-time reduction

Automated routing and standard templates speed the path from request to approved purchase. Approved requisitions convert directly into purchase orders, cutting re-keying and lost follow-ups.

Cost controls

Pre-commit budget checks and guided buying steer users to contracted pricing and preferred suppliers. That alignment reduces maverick spend, lowers costs, and improves working capital by shrinking invoice timing.

Risk and compliance

Required fields, thresholds, and multi-level approvals enforce policies and create searchable audit trails. Clear records simplify audits, speed month‑end close, and reduce compliance headaches.

Fast time-to-value

Configuration aligns to existing processes in business central and Dynamics 365, focusing first on high-impact features. Adopt core tools quickly and expand later with smooth integration and preserved data integrity.

• Shorter requisition-to-order time and fewer manual touches.
• Tighter budget alignment, on-contract purchase rates, and cost avoidance.
• Complete audit trails, fewer invoice exceptions, and better visibility into inventory levels.
