Laserfiche Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 AP Integration

asked on November 24, 2015

Hello,

I am looking to create a demo scenario by modifying the Laserfiche AP Demo. This has been requested by quite a few customers and its important we are able to have this done as a proof of concept.

What we are looking for is a way to upload meta from P.O, Invoices, on Laserfiche to Dynamics so that it can populate AP invoices etc within the ERP.

Please advise on how we can achieve this.

You have three options for integrating Laserfiche with other software:

API
Database
Front-end

The first method uses the other software's SDK if it has one. The second method pushes data to or pulls data from the other application's database. And the third method scrapes certain areas of what is on certain areas of the user's screen and connect the applications that way.

Laserfiche Workflow can use methods 1 and 2. Laserfiche Connector uses method 3. Method 1 is also possible as a stand-alone package, i.e. via a toolbar button on the client. For example, you select a document, click the button and LF sends the document's metadata to the other application.

Method 3 is the easiest method and usually requires no programming. Other methods are a lot more involved.

Hey Ege,

Thanks for the response.... So if I wanted to take existing meta data in laserfiche such as Invoice, PO, PO Status: Approved/Declined to automatically update Invoices or Line Items you are saying this could be achieved with the Laserfiche Connector via scrubbing?

If so how would one achieve this with the connector?

Thanks.

Line items might be a bit too advanced for LF Connector.

Check out the existing integrations in the Laserfiche Marketplace. We have seen this one work pretty well.

GP and NAV are different ERPs I haven't seen any for NAV on the market place.

What if we used Web services from the ERP to somehow connect into Laserfiche?

You can do that too. I'm not familiar with NAV, but if they have a REST API then you may be able to use the web request activity in workflow to send data to NAV. If it has a SOAP API then you'll most likely need to use C# or VB.NET.

I have been searching around it seems to be mainly on the SOAP API..

Do you have any recommendations how we can build a demo enviroment to demonstrate Laserfiches capabilities in collaboration with some sort of dummy ERP.. This is now my worst case scenario although customers want to see NAV integration.

Hi Armando,

We too are looking to integrate Laserfiche with Nav. Did you manage to set anything up to extract information from Laserfiche to populate Invoice/PO data? Was it possible to populate line items? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

No as I am not an SDK developer and need a Nav Expert to build a solution from their side or a DB Expert who understands NAV to watch LF data and update NAV.
