Where AP Still Gets Stuck and What to Watch for at Directions NA 2026

You can do everything right in an ERP project and still hear the same feedback a few weeks later: payments are taking too long, approvals are backing up, and the team is still working around the system. 

It’s a familiar pattern for many Business Central partners.  

Systems improve, reporting gets better, and automation expands capacity, but when it comes time to validate vendors, approve batches, or send payments, the process often slows down again. 

This is where projects start to feel pressure.  

You’re responsible for getting clients live on time, keeping things moving, and avoiding anything that introduces risk. When AP becomes unpredictable, it can affect both delivery and client confidence. 

That is where we have spent the last 30+ years working alongside both partners and AP teams to reduce friction, strengthen control, and bring consistency to the payment process.  

We know where AP processes tend to break down, when it makes sense to introduce something new, and how to do it in a way that keeps projects moving and avoids unnecessary complexity. 

The goal is to keep things straightforward. It’s to help partners like you deliver smoother implementations and give clients more confidence in how vendor onboarding, approvals, and payments actually run after go-live. 

At Directions NA 2026, you will find Mekorma in the ISV Lounge.  

We always value the chance to sit down with partners and talk through what is really happening in the field and where AP starts to get difficult. 

For some teams, that conversation turns to where AP processes start to break down after go-live and what needs to change to keep things running smoothly. That can include how payments are handled after go-live, how approvals are managed, or whether certain parts of the process should be taken off the team’s plate.  

If that is something you are exploring, we are always happy to share what we have seen work. 

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!
