ERP365 ISV Extensions for Business Central

Supplying major retailers including Costco, ALDI, Coles, Foodstuffs, Woolworths, Kmart and Target often means meeting strict EDI and electronic trading requirements.

ERP365 provides a standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extension designed to support EDI and electronic document integration with major retail networks across New Zealand and Australia.

Rather than relying on a separate bespoke integration sitting alongside your ERP, ERP365 extends Business Central's eDocuments capabilities so retail orders and related documents can move between retailer networks and Business Central as part of your normal business processes.

This helps turn retailer EDI from a one-off development project into a standard, maintainable Business Central solution that can evolve as retailer requirements, ERP processes and warehouse operations change.

What ERP365 EDI Supports

ERP365 supports the core electronic document flows involved in a retail trading relationship, helping keep your sales, warehouse and invoicing processes connected to the same Business Central data.

• Purchase Orders: Receive structured retailer orders electronically and validate product references, quantities, units of measure and pricing before creating the corresponding sales order in Business Central.

• Order Responses: Send electronic confirmation of what can be supplied, including full, partial or unavailable quantities, directly from your ERP processes.

• Dispatch Advice & ASN: Communicate what has actually been picked and dispatched before the shipment reaches the retailer, including pallet and logistics information where required.

• SSCC Pallet Identification: Support GS1 SSCC information for palletised deliveries so dispatch information can align with the physical pallets arriving at the retailer.

• Electronic Invoicing: Generate retailer-specific electronic invoices from Business Central using the same underlying order and dispatch information, helping reduce discrepancies and manual reconciliation.

• Product & Price Data: Where required by the trading relationship, support electronic exchange of product, catalogue and pricing information.

• Built for Business Central: EDI processes are integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central rather than managed as an isolated external system.

• Standard ANZ Retail Extensions: ERP365 provides maintained extensions for electronic trading with major New Zealand and Australian retail networks, reducing the need to build and maintain a separate bespoke integration for each relationship.

• Automated Order Validation: Validate incoming retailer data against Business Central product information, item cross-references, units of measure and pricing before orders enter your fulfilment process.

• Connected Order-to-Invoice Flow: Keep purchase orders, order responses, dispatch advice and invoices connected to the same Business Central transaction data, reducing re-keying and helping minimise mismatches.

• Dispatch & Warehouse Integration: Generate dispatch information from what was actually picked and shipped rather than relying solely on the original retailer order.

• SSCC & Pallet Support: Support GS1 SSCC pallet identification and the electronic dispatch information required for palletised retail deliveries.

• Ongoing Maintenance: ERP365's standard extensions are maintained as products rather than leaving your organisation dependent on a one-off bespoke integration and the person who originally developed it.

• New Zealand & Australia Coverage: Support trans-Tasman retail trading from Business Central while accommodating differences between retailer requirements in the New Zealand and Australian markets.

The goal is simple: electronic trading should become part of your normal Business Central workflow.

Orders arrive electronically and become sales orders ready for fulfilment. Order responses confirm what can be supplied. Dispatch advice reflects what actually leaves the warehouse. Pallet information travels with the shipment data. Invoices are generated from the same transaction flow.

Instead of staff re-keying documents between retailer portals, EDI systems and your ERP, Business Central becomes the operational centre of the trading process.

Retailer requirements can differ between New Zealand and Australia, even where the retailer operates in both markets. Message formats, compliance processes and trading requirements may not be identical.

ERP365's approach allows businesses supplying customers on both sides of the Tasman to manage their retail EDI connections from one Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment, rather than maintaining separate bespoke integrations.

Retail EDI and Peppol eInvoicing are different electronic trading ecosystems.

Business Central's eDocuments framework can support electronic invoicing scenarios such as Peppol, while major retail networks have their own trading formats, message requirements and compliance processes. ERP365 extensions address these retailer-specific requirements and connect them with the Business Central processes your team already uses.

Whether you're onboarding with a new retail customer, replacing a bespoke EDI integration or looking to simplify existing electronic trading processes, ERP365 can help connect your retail document flows directly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Built for New Zealand & Australian Banking

Managing supplier payments across New Zealand and Australia requires accurate bank files, reliable payment controls and a clear connection between your ERP and banking processes.

ERP365's EFT Extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extends the standard Payment Journal functionality to provide a more complete EFT payment process for New Zealand and Australian businesses.

Prepare payments, validate EFT details, generate bank-ready payment files, track transactions and send remittance advice directly from Business Central.

ERP365 EFT goes beyond the basic EFT functionality available in standard Business Central, giving finance teams greater flexibility over bank formats, supplier bank accounts, payment references and EFT transaction management.

• Preconfigured Bank Formats: Reduce the need to build individual payment export formats for commonly used supported banks.

• Flexible Vendor Banking: Manage EFT details against vendor bank accounts, supporting suppliers with different banking arrangements.

• Configurable Payment References: Define rules for the Particulars, Code and Reference information included with payments.

• Pre-Export Validation: Identify and resolve EFT errors before generating the payment file.

• EFT Transaction Tracking: Keep a dedicated record of exported EFT transactions and their current status.

• Controlled Payment Workflow: Generate the EFT file, upload it through your banking platform and post the payment journal once the bank file has been checked and accepted.

For FMCG suppliers, wholesalers and distributors, customer pricing can quickly become more complex than a simple price list or standard discount.
