The Problem
Applying a Customer Payment in Business Central Starts With the Remittance Advice
Business Central has solid tools for applying customer payments. The Payment Reconciliation Journal imports your bank statement and applies payments to open customer ledger entries where the payment text matches the entry, with every application there to review before you post. The cash receipt journal lets you post a payment and use Apply Entries to apply it across several open invoices at once.
Both need to know which invoices a payment covers. When a customer pays forty invoices in one BACS, Faster Payments, EFT or ACH payment, short pays one and deducts a credit note, the bank line usually carries one total and the customer's own payment reference, and the invoice list arrives separately in a remittance advice, as a PDF, a spreadsheet or a few lines in an email. Someone opens it, finds each invoice on the Apply Customer Entries page, checks the amount and sets the Applies-to ID, then starts again on the next one.
RemitClear works from that remittance advice. It reads every line, matches it in the right company and, once it's approved, posts the payment into Business Central, applied to the invoices and credit memos the advice lists.
How It Works
How RemitClear Works with Business Central
RemitClear reads each remittance advice, matches it against the open customer ledger entries in the right Business Central company, and posts the payment once it's approved.
1. Connect Business Central on a setup call
Your Business Central admin approves RemitClear's Microsoft Entra app, then installs a small RemitClear extension that lets one payment settle several invoices and credit memos in a single posting. We do it together on a call.
2. Forward or upload remittance advices
Forward remittance emails from your accounts receivable inbox to your own RemitClear email address, or upload files by hand. PDFs and scans, Word, Excel, CSV, TXT, HTML and email bodies are all read.
3. Each line is matched to open invoices and credit memos
RemitClear extracts the payer, payment date, amount, reference and invoice numbers, matches them against the company's open invoices and sales credit memos, and gives every match a confidence score. Part payments, short payments, already-paid invoices and possible duplicates are flagged for review.
4. Review, then post into Business Central
Matches are shown beside the original document. Approve them, adjust an amount, or switch on auto-post so confident matches post on their own. The customer payment is posted into Business Central, applied to every invoice and credit memo it covers in a single posting.
Remittance Advices From Email, PDF and Spreadsheets
RemitClear reads the remittance advice behind each payment, whether it came by BACS or Faster Payments in the UK, EFT in Australia or ACH in the US.
Emailed remittance advices
Forward remittance emails to your own RemitClear email address with a rule on your accounts receivable inbox. RemitClear reads the attachment, or the remittance details typed into the email body when there's no attachment, and matches them against that company's open invoices.
PDFs, scans and spreadsheets
Upload a PDF or a scanned remittance, a Word document, or an Excel, CSV, TXT or HTML export from a customer's payables system. Every line is read the same way, with the payer, payment date, amount, reference and invoice numbers pulled out for matching.
Setup
How Setup Works with Business Central
RemitClear connects to Business Central online in two steps, on a call with us, and you're live in days.
Approve RemitClear's Microsoft Entra app
Your Business Central admin approves RemitClear's Microsoft Entra app in Business Central. Approving a Microsoft Entra app is how Business Central lets an integration run without anyone signed in.
Install the RemitClear extension
Your admin then installs a small RemitClear extension, which lets one payment settle several invoices and credit memos in a single posting. Extensions are how apps add to Business Central.
There's no setup fee, no lock-in and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What RemitClear Adds to Business Central
RemitClear is built for businesses that invoice on account and get paid in batches, such as wholesale distributors, manufacturers, logistics and freight firms, building supplies businesses and staffing companies, where one customer payment often covers dozens of invoices.
Invoices and credit memos in one posting
Credit notes your customer deducts are matched to your sales credit memos, and the payment settles the invoices and the credits together in a single posting.
Several companies in one environment
Each Business Central company is connected under one login, with its own open invoices, remittances and forwarding address, so every payment posts in the company that holds the invoices.
A confidence score on every match
Part payments, short payments, already-paid invoices and possible duplicates are flagged for review, and auto-post, once you switch it on, only posts confident matches.
Priced on remittance volume
RemitClear is priced on remittance volume rather than users, with no setup fee, no lock-in and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
FAQ
Business Central Questions
Does RemitClear work with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Yes. RemitClear works with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central online, the version Microsoft hosts. It reads the remittance advices your customers send, matches each line against the open invoices and sales credit memos in your Business Central company and, once it's approved, posts the customer payment, applied to every invoice and credit memo it covers in a single posting. Setup happens on a call: your Business Central admin approves RemitClear's Microsoft Entra app, then installs a small RemitClear extension that lets one payment settle several invoices and credit memos at once. If your Business Central runs on your own servers, book a demo and we'll talk through how your receivables are set up.
What does RemitClear post in Business Central?
RemitClear posts a customer payment in the company the remittance belongs to, applied to the open invoices and sales credit memos the remittance advice lists, in a single posting. It replaces the manual route of a cash receipt journal line, the Apply Entries action and an Applies-to ID on each customer ledger entry the payment covers, so nobody keys the lines in. A part payment is flagged for review, and once it's approved it's applied for the amount paid, leaving the invoice open for the rest.
How does RemitClear handle credit memos and short payments in Business Central?
When a remittance advice deducts a credit note, RemitClear matches it to the open sales credit memo in Business Central and settles it in the same posting as the invoices, so the payment and the credit memo together clear what the customer said they paid. Part payments, short payments and deductions that don't match an open credit memo are flagged for review beside the original document, for a person to decide.
Can RemitClear handle several companies in one Business Central environment?
Yes. Business Central keeps each legal entity in its own company, and companies in the same country or region can share an environment. RemitClear handles multi-company groups: each company is connected under one RemitClear login and keeps its own open invoices, remittance history and forwarding address. A remittance is matched against the open invoices of the company it was sent to, so a line that quotes another company's invoice shows as unmatched and waits for a person, and every payment posts in the company that holds the invoices.
How long does it take to set up RemitClear with Business Central?
You're live in days. Setup happens on a call with us: your Business Central admin approves RemitClear's Microsoft Entra app in Business Central, then installs a small RemitClear extension that lets one payment settle several invoices and credit memos in a single posting. Both are standard Business Central administration, since approving a Microsoft Entra app is how Business Central lets an integration run without anyone signed in, and extensions are how apps add to Business Central. There's no setup fee.
Which remittance advice formats does RemitClear read?
RemitClear reads PDF remittance advices, including scans, as well as Word documents, Excel and CSV files, TXT and HTML files, and remittance details typed into the body of an email. You can upload them or forward them to your own RemitClear email address, and RemitClear extracts the payer, payment date, amount, reference and invoice numbers from each one. It reads the advice whether the payment came by BACS or Faster Payments in the UK, EFT in Australia or ACH in the US.
What happens when a remittance doesn't match an invoice in Business Central?
It's held for review. A line that doesn't match an open invoice, a part or short payment, an invoice that's already paid and a remittance that looks like a duplicate are all flagged in the review screen beside the original document, and every match shows a confidence score. Nothing posts to Business Central until someone approves it, unless you've switched on automatic posting, and even then only confident matches post on their own.
