Terminal Velocity: The D365 Finance Payment Playbook
Terminal Velocity: The D365 Finance Payment Playbook is a strategic guide for enterprise finance leaders looking to eliminate the operational drag caused by fragmented payment processes inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. Designed for CFOs, finance transformation leads, treasury teams, and enterprise operations leaders, the Playbook explores how manual reconciliation, disconnected payment providers, delayed fee accounting, and integration complexity create structural inefficiencies that slow down finance operations at scale. The guide provides a practical framework for diagnosing payment drag, quantifying its business impact, evaluating architectural gaps, and implementing a native, multi-provider payment infrastructure fully embedded inside D365 Finance. It also outlines how organisations can improve close velocity, strengthen working capital visibility, automate reconciliation across entities and providers, and modernise payment operations without introducing external system fragmentation.

Through real-world operational examples, decision frameworks, and deployment guidance, the Playbook demonstrates how businesses can automate the full payment lifecycle inside Business Central, from invoice creation through to reconciliation and real-time ledger accuracy, while reducing manual workload and improving cash visibility.
The Revenue Drag Coefficient: Part 3 in the TAPP Payment Automation Series for Microsoft Dynamics 365
Growth should accelerate your finance function.Not slow it down. How manual payment operations slow enterprise velocity in Dynamics 365, and how to eliminate resistance. As organisations scale on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, complexity increases across entities, geographies, and payment providers. What often goes unnoticed is how manual payment operations introduce a growing layer of resistance, slowing down financial processes, distorting visibility, and consuming valuable team capacity. This eBook introduces the concept of the “revenue drag coefficient”, the cumulative friction created by manual reconciliation, fragmented payment data, delayed cash application, and integration overhead. It explains why this drag scales geometrically with enterprise growth, why common approaches such as native connectors, custom integrations, and external platforms fail to eliminate it, and where it most heavily impacts finance teams. It then outlines what enterprise-grade payment infrastructure should look like inside Dynamics 365 Finance: multi-entity by design, fully automated across the entire payment lifecycle, and natively embedded within the ERP. The result is a finance function that moves faster, closes quicker, and scales without operational resistance. Download the eBook to uncover the hidden “drag” inside Dynamics 365 Finance and how to eliminate it.
The Cash Flow Leak: Part 2 in the TAPP Payment Automation Series for Microsoft Dynamics 365
You’re already collecting the cash.The question is what it’s costing you. Why establish businesses on Business Central pay too much to collect what they're already owed. For many businesses running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, payment collection works, but at a cost that grows quietly with scale. Behind every successful payment sits a chain of manual steps: generating payment requests, reconciling payouts, accounting for fees, and recovering failed transactions. This eBook explores the concept of the “cash flow leak”, the hidden operational and financial cost of collecting what you are already owed. It breaks down where that cost accumulates, why it often goes unnoticed, and how common approaches such as single-provider connectors or multiple integrations fail to resolve it. It then outlines what a fully “sealed” payment system should look like in Business Central, and how organisations can eliminate manual effort, improve cash flow, and scale without increasing the cost of collection. Download the eBook to uncover the hidden cost of payment processes in Business Central and how to eliminate it.
The Last Mile of ERP: Part 1 in the TAPP Payment Automation Series for Microsoft Dynamics 365
ERP stops at the invoice. Cash doesn’t. Why Payment Automation Matters in Dynamics 365 Microsoft Dynamics 365 is designed to unify operations and financial data, yet one critical gap remains: the journey from invoice to cash. In many organisations, this “last mile” is still manual, fragmented, and outside the ERP, creating delays, reconciliation effort, and limited visibility over actual cash position. This eBook explores why this gap persists across Dynamics 365 environments, the hidden operational and financial costs it introduces, and why common approaches like connectors, external platforms, or custom builds fail to fully solve it. It also outlines what a complete payment automation strategy should look like and how organisations can close the gap to achieve true end-to-end financial control. Download the eBook to see how payment automation closes the gap in Dynamics 365 and turns invoices into cash, automatically.
