Zetadocs Expenses offers on the go expense capture and seamless integration with Business Central and Dynamics NAV, for a smarter way of working. You can capture, submit, approve and export expenses easily using the Zetadocs Expenses mobile app and on browser. It is available anytime, anywhere and puts you in complete control by setting policies, reimbursing staff quickly, ensuring VAT/tax is fully reclaimed and rapidly reconciling credit card statements.

Zetadocs Expenses offers three different editions, all of which integrate seamlessly with Business Central. You can find more information about the features included with each edition here. You may also find the “Which edition is right for you?” blog article a useful read.

Yes. You can watch a demonstration here, or book your own free, personalized demonstration here.

Our customers typically purchase Zetadocs Expenses via their Microsoft Dynamics partner who look after their Business Central or NAV setup. However, please feel free to contact Equisys directly in the first instance to discuss your requirements.

A licence can be requested by completing the online request form available here. We will usually process your request the next working day and you will receive a welcome email from us with all the information you need to get started.

Zetadocs Expenses subscription pricing is available here.

The Express edition software is available at no cost to Business Central online customers – for use by up to 25 users only. There are optional implementation and support plans available to purchase for the Zetadocs Expenses Express edition.

All Zetadocs Expenses subscriptions are payable annually in advance.

No. Zetadocs Expenses subscription billing is based on the average number of active users who are using the service each month. Prior to commencing a new subscription, we will discuss how many users you expect to regularly submit and/or approve expense reports each month (i.e. “active users per-month”) so that we can then invoice you accordingly.

We review your actual usage of the service periodically and will contact you prior to calculating your next invoice if there will be a change to the average number of active users per-month that you are billed for.

We never cap the number of Zetadocs Expenses users that you can enable – giving you maximum flexibility. This flexible approach to billing means that you do not need to purchase a subscription for all those “lite” users who may only submit a few expenses during the whole year.

Yes, the initial term is typically 12-months.

All editions of Zetadocs Expenses are designed to be implemented quickly, within 1 to 3 days depending on the edition.

We offer fixed-price implementation services, such as £1,990 for Zetadocs Essentials edition or £2,985 for Zetadocs Plus edition. You can find more detail on these packages here or via Microsoft AppSource Consultancy Services. If you are based in North America, please contact us directly for implementation pricing.

No. For most users who are submitting and/or approving expense reports only using Zetadocs Expenses, it is not necessary for them to have a Business Central licence. However, those users who carry out the final processing of expense claims (e.g. users within a finance team) will need a Business Central Essentials or Premium licence, since they will typically need to export information into Business Central.

Yes. The Zetadocs Expenses Essentials and Plus editions can be integrated with multiple companies in a Business Central environment (where all companies are using the same currency).

Note: The Zetadocs Expenses Express edition can only be used with one company in Business Central Online.

Zetadocs Expenses is available for use in all countries where Business Central is available. Currently in English only, but soon to be available in German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Danish and Swedish.

Yes. We recommend the purchase of an implementation and support plan to ensure your Zetadocs Expenses Express system is setup correctly and that the integration with Business Central is carried out by professionals. Whilst the Express edition has a limited feature set and is restricted to a fixed number of users, it is still a powerful business tool which once adopted by the wider business can become mission critical. Having experts on hand that can quickly troubleshoot any issues that arise will save you precious time.

Yes. Zetadocs Expenses is fully tested against each new update that Microsoft releases for Business Central (there are usually two wave releases each year) and we are committed to maintaining full compatibility.

Zetadocs Expenses is a simple add-on for Business Central. The setup process comprises two key stages:

  • Installing an extension that is available from Microsoft AppSource.
  • Run the Zetadocs Expenses Assisted Setup that will publish a web service.

If you have Business Central deployed on-premise, then there are some additional steps to follow – you can find more information in the online help.

The Zetadocs Expenses application can be accessed via popular web browsers and mobile apps are available on Google Play and the App Store. Users will receive a welcome email that contains a link to the app, plus links to the online help that is available.

Approved expenses can be automatically exported to Business Central with the GL account, tax code, dimensions etc all set for you. When an approved expense report is exported, you have a choice on what records get created in Business Central – a new purchase invoice or a new journal entry(s) with multiple options for the balancing account.

Note: When using the Zetadocs Expenses Express edition, approved expenses can only be exported to a purchase invoice in Business Central.

Yes. We can provide customers with two Zetadocs Expenses accounts: one account for use with a production environment and another that may be used for testing purposes with a sandbox environment.

Yes. Zetadocs Expenses supports single sign-on using Microsoft work or school accounts. We recommend using single sign-on to make it easier for your users to sign in, and for your IT administrators to centrally manage access to the application rather than manage separate user accounts.

When approved expenses are exported to Business Central (by creating a purchase invoice and/or journal entry), the Plus edition allows you to customize this process to alter the content and/or format that Business Central fields are populated with – at a record or line level. The Plus edition also allows you to add custom processing steps to be run before and/or after the export, to satisfy any specific business requirements that you may have.

No, downgrading the Zetadocs Expenses edition is not possible. If you were to downgrade in the future, then a new Zetadocs Expenses account would need to be provisioned and the data/configuration on your existing account would not be migrated.

Yes. Users can be required to login to Zetadocs Expenses using their Microsoft work or school accounts – which can have multi-factor-authentication enabled.

Yes. The access that users are given to the Zetadocs Expenses application and its data is determined by the role(s) that is assigned to them (e.g. Submitter, Approver, Processor).

Yes. All data is fully encrypted in transit, since data that is sent to/from the Zetadocs Expenses cloud service is always secured using HTTPS. Similarly, all data is fully encrypted at rest too using Microsoft Azure storage services.

Zetadocs Delivery provides automated document emailing. It enables you to send consolidated, personalized batches of emails, which you can conveniently group together for the same recipient and use templates to ensure all emails have the appropriate corporate branding and supporting documents automatically appended. Further customizations can be added to meet complex business requirements.

Zetadocs Capture provides automated document filing. It offers you more ways to capture incoming documents (whether paper or digital) and store these directly against the appropriate Business Central record. Documents are filed and indexed automatically and consistently to make searching for them later easier, while storing documents in a central archive such as SharePoint Online removes inefficiencies that result from documents being spread across different systems and locations.

With the Zetadocs Delivery and Zetadocs Capture Extension for Business Central, documents can be stored in SharePoint Online. For Zetadocs customers using Business Central on-premises or NAV, documents can be stored on SharePoint Online, SharePoint On Premise and local network folders.

There are three editions of Zetadocs: Express, Essentials and Plus. These all integrate seamlessly with Business Central but offer varying functionality. You can find more information about the features included with each edition of Zetadocs Delivery here and Zetadocs Capture here.
