Accounts Payable Automation
Simplify the processing of invoices and payments while reducing costs, errors, and time-consuming tasks.
Simplify Your AP Processing and Boost Cash Flow Visibility
Handling large volumes of invoices from large volumes of vendors with any level of manual processing eats up a lot of time and resources, especially when those invoices arrive via a variety of delivery methods. The higher the volume, the greater the chance of human error, invoice exceptions, and delayed payments that slow down the entire process and put your business at risk for credit holds, late fees and missed early payment discounts. All of those factors put serious strains on your vendor relationships, the connections that keep your business operating effectively.
Those problems are only compounded if your accounts payable team doesn’t have enough visibility into the status of invoice processing or the dollar amounts of each invoice. A lack of visibility makes it harder for your AP team to identify and address discrepancies, manage invoice spend, audit invoice approvals, track lost invoices, manage cash flow, and other key accounts payable functions. Poor visibility into invoice statuses also causes confusion for vendors and internal stakeholders, creating more questions that your AP team has to spend time answering.
The Case for AP Automation
Moving from more manual AP processes to an automated accounts payable solution allows your AP team to improve vendor relationships and simplify the processing of invoices and payments while reducing costs, errors, and time-consuming tasks. With accounts payable automation software, your team can:
Eliminate time spent on manual invoice
data entry by automatically extracting invoice header and line-item data from invoices without requiring a new setup for each vendor’s format
Reduce time spent handling exceptions
by automatically routing invoices based on configurable business rules
Cut down on journal entry adjustments
and other rework by enabling invoice approvers and budget owners to submit ERP-validated GL coding for non-PO invoices
View outstanding payables at a glance and never lose sight of outstanding liabilities
Reduce bottlenecks and delays
by monitoring the flow of invoice and payment processing using a single source of information
Consolidate invoices into single
automated payments via ACH with electronic remittances or checks with positive pay based on invoice due dates and vendor preferences
Reduce the volume of invoices
your AP team has to handle by deploying end-to-end automation and built-in checkpoints
