Seamless integration and advanced reconciliation with Dynamics 365 Finance

a-Finteg is an industry-leading integration framework, developed as an extension to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. The framework greatly enhances all business processes, financial planning, budget control, analysis and payments processing, by integrating any source system.

The mapping and transformation part is designed to process millions of transactions, making it unparalleled by any other integration framework for Dynamics 365 Finance.

a-Finteg has a built-in Accounting Rules Engine (a-RE). a-RE can transform business events happening in the source systems before they are imported to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance.

By using a-Finteg, standard functionalities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance remain unchanged. The only development required, is mapping of Proprietary Model (which are the source system files) and the a-Finteg Data Model. Everything else, including the communication setup, is configurable within a-Finteg in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance user interface.

KEY BENEFITS

Decrease costs and increase ROI

Due to its advanced properties, a-Finteg requires less source system licenses and low number of implementation hours

Reduce implementation time

a-Finteg is proven to cut down integration implementation time by 75% compared to competitors

Enhance functionality

The mapping and transformation part of a-Finteg is designed to process millions of transactions, making it unparalleled by any other integration framework for Dynamics 365 Finance.

Lower risk

a-Finteg reduces risks arising from integration between the source system and Dynamics 365 Finance

Quality and consistency

a-Finteg transforms the data into a standardized a-Finteg Data Model. Along the process, data quality and consistency standards are enforced.

Hands-on experience with major source systems

a-Finteg has a built-in Accounting Rules Engine (a-RE). a-RE can transform business events happening in the source systems before they are imported to Dynamics 365 Finance.

General Ledger transactions import

The business and financial transactions coming in from the source systems are mapped to an a-Finteg Data Model and then matched against a set of rules that are configured by users in the Dynamics 365 Finance user interface. The outcome of the accounting rules are accounting transactions.

As part of the process, the accounting transactions can be enriched with additional financial dimensions. The accounting transactions are then aggregated according to aggregation criteria that are also configurable by users in the Dynamics 365 Finance user interface. The aggregated accounting transactions are subjected to General Ledger verification rules (accounting structure, financial dimension values, dates etc), and if all transactions pass this validation phase, the aggregated accounting transactions are posted in a journal in the General Ledger. Before posting the General ledger journal based on configuration of the journal there is an out of the box functionality to submit the journal to a workflow approval process.

The a-Finteg includes a strong audit trail that is based on an intuitive integration log, as well as complete drill through transactions received as source data and accounting transactions that are outcome of the a-RE and General Ledger postings in Dynamics 365 Finance. The audit trail is available within Dynamics 365 Finance user interface.

Vendor payments automation

The vendor payment automation feature significantly reduces manual work in payments processing. Vendor payments journals are created automatically in D365 F&O based on user defined criteria and then sent to the bank in a bank specific format for payment processing. Following payment, a status report is received in D365 F&O. Based on the payment status of each line, the paid are posted and the unpaid are transferred to another journal for further processing within D365 F&O.

Advanced reconciliation process

Reconciliation is crucial for financial operations- for checking accuracy, unexpected discrepancies, fraudulent activities, preventing balance sheet errors and General Ledger reconciliation. a-Finteg provides insightful data of each step of the process and thus facilitates the reconciliation.

Direct and secure communication

Sensitive data must be handled in a secure way. a-Finteg allows encrypted and secure communication between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and financial institutions. a-Finteg includes intelligent logging framework that logs all communication in/out of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. It supports REST/SOAP web services, Azure Storage, SFTP/FTP, ODBC/JDBC.

Elevated reporting and analysis

All the important data that the source system provides to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is combined with the desired Financial Dimensions, elevating reporting, and analysis to a higher level.
