Why Dynamo Payroll Delivers 100% Accuracy Inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations
Dynamo ensures every pay cycle runs on verified inputs and governed steps inside Microsoft dynamics 365. That single-source approach cuts duplicate entries and prevents mapping errors that often cause miscalculations.
Cloud-based automation that eliminates manual, error-prone tasks
Automated workflows replace repetitive tasks—time capture, approvals, and calculations—so each step executes the same way every cycle. Continuous validation rules and pre-payroll audits flag issues early, reducing last-minute fixes and ensuring compliance with current regulations.
Embedded HR and payroll processes aligned to Finance & Operations
Master records flow from Microsoft dynamics into pay runs, removing duplicate data entry. Standard process templates enforce company rules and shorten onboarding while keeping accounting entries synchronized for accurate cost tracking across operations.
Employee Self-Service reduces data entry errors
ESS portals let employees update personal, tax, and bank details in real time. That reduces HR tasks and improves accuracy. For more on cost impacts, see manual payroll costs.
- Faster close with fewer adjustments.
- Real-time insights and exception reports before posting.
- Audit-ready outputs that support compliance.
Deep Microsoft Integration: Dynamics 365 FO and Business Central Connectivity
A unified connectivity layer ties jobs, time capture, and ledgers so cost data stays accurate across systems. Dynamo’s native connectors link Microsoft dynamics modules—Finance, Supply Chain, and Business Central—so master records, dimensions, and posting rules flow without custom code.
Continuous synchronization keeps employee, project, job, and cost centre records aligned. That ensures pay posting matches financial statements and reduces manual reconciliations across business central and finance.
Native connectors and migration
Import structured files for time worked, leave taken, and employee information from a prior provider to speed go-live and preserve history. Prebuilt adapters reduce project risk and shorten implementation time.
- End-to-end orchestration: order entry → time capture → approval → billing → pay, traceable in one platform.
- Finance mappings: GL, subledgers, and project accounting mapped to reduce IT effort.
- Governed data flows: secure synchronization supports audits and analytics.
| Capability | Benefit | Scope |
| Native Business Central sync | Accurate postings and live burdened cost | Employees, jobs, projects |
| Structured import | Faster migration, preserved history | Time, leave, employee data |
| Prebuilt connectors | Lower risk, faster value | Finance & Supply Chain |
| Automated allocations | Precise cost accounting | Accruals, burden rates, projects |

Comprehensive Payroll and HR Features Built for Compliance and Control
A single, governed system bundles pay calculations, time capture, and compliance controls so teams run consistent cycles every period.
Configurable calculation engine
Advanced formula builders support company-specific tax rules and complex deductions. Administrators can model union, locality, and benefit rules without custom code.
Time, attendance and rostering
Timesheets, clock-in data, and rosters feed pay runs automatically. That reduces manual edits and ensures premiums, differentials, and leave are accurate.
Employee self-service
Staff can access paystubs, W-2s/W-4s, and request direct-deposit updates 24/7. Self-service cuts administrative tasks and improves data accuracy.
Compliance, tracking and alerts
Statutory rules, license and certification tracking, and renewal reminders keep teams audit ready and aligned with regulations.
Reporting and financial integration
Operational reports and Power BI dashboards surface overtime, accruals, and liabilities. GL postings and cost allocations sync to Microsoft dynamics 365 for faster close and reconciliation.
| Feature | Benefit | Scope |
| Formula builder | Precise, repeatable calculations | Local taxes, unions, deductions |
| Time & attendance | Accurate hours and premiums | Timesheets, rostering, leave |

Business Outcomes: Faster Close, Real-Time Insights, and Scalable Operations
Unified back-office flows turn recruiting, time capture, billing, and pay into a single, auditable sequence that reduces manual handoffs and drives measurable efficiency.
Drive efficiency from recruiting to pay to cash
Standardized workflows minimize silos and speed onboarding for staff and contractors. Fewer touch points mean fewer errors and less rework.
Order-to-time-to-bill-to-pay-to-cash becomes a traceable sequence that lowers administrative overhead and improves sales-to-cash velocity.
Improve financial visibility and cash performance
A live view of fully burdened labor cost helps leaders protect margins and set accurate prices. That visibility shortens period close and reduces Days Sales Outstanding.
Embedded reporting and dashboards surface anomalies early so finance and operations can act before issues affect customers or close timing.
Enterprise-grade security, global scale, and resilience
The platform scales to new regions, supports more staff during peak cycles, and enforces consistent controls across subsidiaries. This reduces reliance on shadow systems and spreadsheets.
“Integrated workflows and native Business Central integration deliver faster reconciliation and clearer cost-to-serve signals.”
- Connect recruiting through cash application for lower exception rates.
- Use live burdened cost to inform pricing and resource allocation.
- Leverage built-in reporting and Business Central integration for cohesive decision-making.

FAQ
How does Dynamo ensure 100% payroll accuracy when integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations?
Dynamo enforces automated calculations, company-specific tax rules, and a flexible formula builder that align payroll processing with finance ledgers. Native connectivity with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations reduces manual transfers and reconciliation, cutting data entry errors and ensuring consistent employee, tax, and pay data across systems.
What automation features remove manual, error-prone tasks?
The solution uses cloud-based automation to process timesheets, apply shifts and allowances, and validate tax and benefit calculations before pay runs. Workflow controls, approval gates, and pre-payroll audits flag anomalies so teams correct issues early, minimizing adjustments after payroll is posted.
How does embedded HR functionality improve payroll reliability?
Embedded HR processes keep employee records, tax elections, and benefit enrolments synchronized with pay engines. Changes made in employee profiles update in real time, reducing mismatches between HR and finance and ensuring pay runs reflect current status for hires, terminations, and status changes.
Can employees update their information to reduce payroll errors?
Yes. Employee Self-Service portals let staff view paystubs, update personal and tax information, change direct deposit details, and submit time-off requests. Real-time updates feed directly into payroll calculations, lowering the risk of outdated data causing incorrect payments.
How does the solution integrate with Dynamics 365 Business Central and supply chain modules?
