Connecting Microsoft Dynamics to Ravera for UAE e-invoicing
Microsoft Dynamics 365 connects to Ravera through Ravera’s REST API. Your Dynamics team or partner sends posted sales invoices from Dynamics 365 Finance or Business Central to the API. Ravera converts them to PINT AE XML, validates them, exchanges them through its own Peppol Access Point and reports to the FTA as an FTA-Accredited Service Provider.

Partners commonly use business events or Electronic Reporting to prepare invoice data, with Azure Logic Apps or middleware calling Ravera’s API.
- 02
Business Central
On Business Central, partners usually build an AL extension that calls Ravera’s API when an invoice is posted and stores the result.
- 03

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Ravera work with both Dynamics 365 Finance and Business Central?
Yes. Both connect to the same Ravera REST API. The work on the Dynamics side differs: Finance projects often use business events, Electronic Reporting and Azure services, while Business Central projects usually use an AL extension. Your Dynamics partner chooses the approach that fits your environment and owns the connection.
Who maintains the Dynamics side after go-live?
Your Dynamics team or partner maintains the Dynamics side, including extensions and data mapping. Ravera maintains the platform side: the API, validation rules, Peppol exchange, FTA reporting and archiving. When PINT AE rules change, Ravera updates its validation and tells your team about any data changes needed in Dynamics.
How long does it take to connect Dynamics 365 to Ravera?
A typical project follows Ravera’s onboarding model: data mapping and sandbox access in week 1, build and testing in weeks 2 to 6, and production from week 7. Environments with many legal entities or heavy customisation can take longer. Your Dynamics partner owns the build plan, and Ravera supports testing throughout.
