This post summarises an article SkyBill published on ERP Software Blog on September 8, 2026. Read the full article here.


Producing an accurate invoice is only part of property billing. The charge also has to be posted correctly, collected, reconciled and kept available for reporting and audit. In this article SkyBill explains why the financial architecture behind a billing tool matters and how it is handled on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

SkyBill property management billing in Dynamics 365 Business Central

Key takeaways

  • SkyBill is built directly on Business Central, so billing and accounting share one system.

  • General ledger, accounts receivable, tax, bank reconciliation, reporting and audit logs are available natively.

  • Country specific rules are covered by Microsoft localisation packages, certified partner solutions or custom setup.

  • SkyBill can also run as a billing module next to SAP, Oracle or another ERP, connected through APIs and web services.

  • Integration can range from a simple ledger export to full two way data exchange.


One system for billing and accounting

Because SkyBill runs inside Business Central, there is no separate integration between billing and finance to build or maintain. Invoices, postings, payments and tax handling live in the same environment, which removes manual transfers and reduces the risk of figures not matching between systems.


Working alongside SAP, Oracle or other ERPs

Not every organisation wants to replace its finance system. In that case SkyBill can act as the specialised property or utility billing layer while the existing ERP stays the financial core. The article describes four levels of integration:

  • Basic one way ledger export for external accounting.

  • Automated posting synchronisation between the two systems.

  • Full two way exchange of postings, master data, payments and contracts.

  • Complex enterprise integration within a wider financial landscape.

The right model depends on hosting, the existing system landscape, data volumes, regulation and how much automation is expected. SkyBill assesses this for each project instead of applying one standard architecture.


Frequently asked questions

Do I need separate accounting software if I use SkyBill?

Not when SkyBill is deployed with Business Central as a complete solution. Billing and accounting then run in the same ERP.


Can SkyBill integrate with SAP or Oracle?

Yes. It can exchange financial postings, master data, payment information and customer and contract data through APIs, web services and structured data exchange.


How does SkyBill handle country specific tax and accounting rules?

Through Microsoft localisation packages, country solutions from certified Microsoft partners and financial configuration done during implementation.
