Checking invoices and declarations of conformity

Every material shipment arrives with an invoice, a delivery note and a declaration of conformity, the purchase order sits in Business Central, SAP Business One or NetSuite, and during an audit it turns out that the certificate in the SharePoint folder is assigned to the wrong batch. The solution recognises the documents, checks them against the ERP order and the validity of certificates, and only approved entries reach the books.

Built for ISO 27001NIS2 DORA

Checking invoices and declarations of conformity
  • Document recognition flow
  • Certificate rule set
  • ERP integration

The certificate is in a SharePoint folder, but not attached to that batch in Business Central

  • By batch the certificate is linked to the ERP batch and shipment
  • Before production missing documents are flagged in time
  • CE, EN declarations and certificates are recognised
  • The accountant approves only checked entries go into Business Central or SAP Business One

For a manufacturer, a material shipment means not only an invoice and a delivery note but also conformity documents: a CE declaration, a material certificate to an EN standard, the manufacturer's test report. The purchasing department receives them by e-mail or with the shipment and saves them in a SharePoint folder by supplier, the purchase order sits in Business Central, SAP Business One or NetSuite, and accounting keys the invoice into the same ERP separately, without linking it to the certificate. When a customer or auditor asks you to prove which batch a product was made from and whether its certificate was valid, a search through folders begins. More often, an outdated or missing certificate is noticed only after the material has already been used.

We implement document recognition with an integration into Business Central, SAP Business One or NetSuite. Invoices, delivery notes and conformity documents from the mailbox or scanner enter a single flow. Recognition extracts invoice lines, quantities and prices, and from declarations and certificates it takes the material designation, the standard, the batch or heat number, the issue date and the validity. The solution then checks three things: whether the invoice and delivery note match the purchase order in the ERP, whether each order line that requires a certificate under your rules has one, and whether the certificate is assigned to exactly that batch and is valid. Missing, outdated or mismatched documents are flagged to the purchasing department with the specific line, so the supplier can be asked before the material enters production. Reconciled documents are prepared as a purchase invoice entry in the ERP with the status "awaiting approval" and with the certificates linked to the batch in the SharePoint library, and an accountant approves. Nothing reaches the books without approval. Documents are processed in MDP CLOUD's cloud in Lithuania (EU) or in your Microsoft 365 tenant, and each batch's document set is visible in a log for audit purposes.

How it works

Four steps from input to a record in your system, with human approval wherever there is risk.

Collecting documents

The flow watches the purchasing and invoice mailboxes and the scanner folder. Each document is recognised by type (invoice, delivery note, declaration, certificate) and linked to the supplier and the purchase order in Business Central, SAP Business One or NetSuite.

What you get

Document recognition flow
Document recognition flow

Recognition for invoices, delivery notes, CE declarations and material certificates from the mailbox and scanner, tuned to your suppliers, with linking by the ERP purchase order.

Certificate rule set
Certificate rule set

A table agreed with the purchasing and quality departments: which materials need which documents, how validity is checked and how batches are assigned in the ERP.

ERP integration
ERP integration

Prepared purchase invoice entries in Business Central, SAP Business One or NetSuite with linked certificates, an approval step for the accountant and a gap list for the purchasing department.

Batch log and support
Batch log and support

Each batch's document set in SharePoint with traceability to the ERP entry for audits and customer enquiries, and our support for new formats.

What we build it with

Document recognition + a Business Central, SAP Business One or NetSuite purchasing integration through an API or import files, and a certificate library in SharePoint. We choose the integration method for your ERP version after a check. See the service page for details and limits.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with Business Central, SAP Business One and NetSuite?

We connect Business Central and SAP Business One through their APIs, NetSuite through its API or an import, depending on the version. We read purchase orders and create invoice entries only with the status "awaiting approval". We choose the integration method after a check, and we do not claim an official partnership with these vendors.

Can the system confirm that the material really meets the standard?

No, it checks documents, not material: whether the certificate exists, is valid, states the right standard and is assigned to that batch in the ERP. Physical conformity and incoming inspection are carried out by your quality department under its own procedures.

Can we start with invoices only and add certificates later?

Yes, we often start by matching invoices and delivery notes to the purchase order in Business Central or SAP Business One, and add conformity document checks and the SharePoint batch library in a second stage, once the certificate rules have been agreed with your quality department.
