What is Vendor Onboarding Automation for Microsoft Dynamics 365?

Vendor Onboarding Automation is BaffleSol’s solution built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain that digitizes the end-to-end vendor onboarding process. It covers vendor registration, tax ID verification, approvals, and document management within a single controlled workflow.

Which validations are supported in the onboarding process?

The solution can validate PAN, GST, and Udhyam details using integrated APIs. This reduces manual checks, improves accuracy, and ensures vendors meet statutory and compliance requirements before activation.

How does this solution improve compliance and audit readiness?

All vendor data, documents, approvals, and validation results are captured in Dynamics 365 with full audit trails. This makes it easy to demonstrate compliance during internal or external audits and reduces the risk of using unverified or non-compliant vendors.

Does Vendor Onboarding Automation integrate with existing procurement workflows?

Yes. Once a vendor is approved, the record is available for purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and invoice processing in Dynamics 365. Power Automate and Logic Apps can also trigger notifications, reminders, and escalations during onboarding and procurement cycles.

Which industries can benefit most from this solution?

Any organization with high vendor volume or strict compliance requirements can benefit, including manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, services, and retail. The solution is especially useful for enterprises that onboard vendors across multiple entities or geographies.

In today’s fast-moving, compliance-driven business environment, manual customer onboarding creates friction—slowing revenue realization, increasing compliance risk, and impacting customer experience.
