Payables Agent in Business Central

Payables Agent in Business Central is an AI‑powered Microsoft Copilot capability that automates the most time‑consuming steps of vendor invoice extraction and processing.
It monitors your designated mailbox, captures incoming invoices, extracts key details using Azure Document Intelligence, and drafts purchase invoices for quick review - significantly reducing manual data entry and the risk of errors.
By streamlining the entire payables workflow, businesses can speed up processing, avoid bottlenecks, improve accuracy, and free finance teams to focus on higher‑value work rather than repetitive administrative tasks.
What does it look like?
Payables Agent is accessible from within Business Central and sits in your Agent quick access menu alongside other Microsoft agents such as the Sales Order Agent and your own custom agents.
You will be prompted when invoices have been processed and the next step of processing requires your attention - for example, to review the draft purchase document and sense check the information captured before it becomes a purchase invoice posted into your vendor ledger ready for payment.
