Electronic reporting for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O
Use Microsoft’s Electronic Reporting framework with Lasernet to generate, validate, distribute and track compliant e-invoices across countries, formats and delivery networks.
One architecture. Four responsibilities.
Microsoft
Provides the Electronic Reporting framework and country-specific legal formats where Microsoft localisation packages are available.
ER/FO Connector
Links Microsoft ER with Lasernet, allowing organisations to reuse standard FinOps ER outputs while adding routing, archiving, tracking, distribution and address book logic.
Lasernet
Manages the document design, output handling and format logic, including PDFs, XMLs, embedded documents and attachments.
Broker network / access point
Supports certified delivery, validation and exchange through networks such as Peppol, PDPs, KSeF gateways and other approved platforms.
Use Microsoft ER with the flexibility of Lasernet
Lasernet’s F&O Connector is particularly valuable in countries where Microsoft already provides ER configurations and localisation packages.
Instead of building separate custom workflows for every mandate, organisations can use Microsoft ER as the starting point, then let Lasernet manage the surrounding process: document enrichment, delivery rules, channel selection, fallback logic, validation, tracking and archiving.
This means organisations can:
-
Use Microsoft’s Electronic Reporting framework with ease
-
Deliver invoices directly to the Peppol network through certified access points
-
Support API, File Transfer Protocol and Secure File Transfer Protocol connections
-
Manage compliant output, routing and distribution without creating fragile point-to-point integrations
From electronic document to tracked delivery
E-invoicing requires control at every stage of the document journey.
Creation: Generate the electronic document using Microsoft ER, Lasernet or a combination of both.
Attachments: Add XML to a PDF, insert a PDF into ER/XML or manage hybrid formats such as ZUGFeRD and Factur-X.
Validation: Validate documents before distribution, either locally or through a provider, access point or government platform.
Distribution: Apply rules for the destination, check Peppol address books, send directly to Peppol or fall back to email where appropriate.
Tracking: Track delivered documents, monitor sent, bounced and downloaded emails, trigger alerts and redirect to an alternative destination when needed.
One process for outbound, inbound and multi-company environments
Large Finance & Operations environments often need to support multiple legal entities, countries and document flows at the same time.
Lasernet helps simplify this by creating a central process for outbound invoices, inbound vendor documents, company-specific registration and country-specific delivery rules.
That means one company can send Peppol invoices in Belgium, another can manage KSeF requirements in Poland, while another handles XRechnung or ZUGFeRD in Germany - without creating a completely separate process for each scenario.
E-invoicing is just the start
The ER Connector can support more than customer invoices. The same architecture can also be used to generate and distribute other regulatory and business-critical outputs, including:
-
Payment files
-
Intrastat reports
-
EU Sales Lists
-
Other regulatory outputs
Lasernet users can choose whether to distribute files through the Connector or through Lasernet, depending on their IT environment. The platform supports both approaches without forcing a single model.
