Hello All,

In Dynamics 365 Business Central Is there a way to upload payables invoices via excel vs manually typing them into the system?   

Thanks!

    Hello,

    Yes, you can use Copy/Paste into the Purchase Journal or a Configuration Package against the Purchase Header and Lines table with appropriate fields populated. I will demonstrate the copy/paste to the Purchase Journal below:

    1. Open the Purchase Journal. Below is just a sample line I entered to fill in fields I will use to create the payables Invoices. Note, I could have Dimensions entered too but they are not shown in my pic.

    2. I click Open in Excel. I have deleted those columns not matching my Journal Page.

    3. Enter all the Invoices you want. If you want to enter a Credit Memo Document Type you can too (see my 2nd row). If you want to enter a payment on account, you can (see my 3rd row). NOTE! If these are opening Payables the Balancing will need to offset to the Vendor AP account, since your G/L History load updated the GL Balances. If these are real transaction you want to process, then make sure the Balancing Account you select is correct.

    4. Now we will copy/paste the rows into BC. Highlight starting in cell B2 thru M31, in my example. You do not need Column A. Hit COPY (CTRL-C) and go to the Purchase Journal. DELETE the sample line you entered. Now while clicked into the Posting Date field, hit CTRL-V.

    Now you can Preview Post and complete the posting process.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    You can use edit in Excel if you are entering them from a journal and you can also use configuration packages.  I normally use configuration packages for all imports that are simple.  This is a link to a video we did about them.  You can use them on any table in BC and can combine tables if needed.
