Accounts Payable Workflow
efficient • customer-friendly • intuitive
Regardless of whether you receive invoices by e-mail – for example as PDF – or on paper: With our accounts payable workflow, you receive an integrated solution that covers all processing steps from initial collection to release.
Accounts Payable Workflow
Process invoices efficiently, consistently and securely
With electronic invoice processing you eliminate paper invoices. You check the digitized documents, pass them on for approval and then archive them in a legally compliant manner. By means of a simple search, the invoices are easily available at every step of the process. With every invoice, the system learns about it, right up to so-called dark processing.
For everyone who wants to save time and optimize processes
Electronic accounts payable workflows accelerate your processes and you not only save time and resources, but can also improve your purchasing conditions. The invoices are stored centrally in a configurable inbox folder. Our solution automatically notifies the users involved and asks them to accept and process the invoices accordingly.
The simple solution for digital invoice processing
Release invoices at any time and from any location
With our accounts payable workflow, you are able to check, target and release your invoices independent of time and location. With the web-based interface, you decide on which device you want to work.
Save time and money
With our intelligent software, repetitive workflows related to invoices can be easily automated. The result: an enormous saving of time and a significant optimization of all business processes. Using classifications, our solution interprets the content of invoices and processes them as independently as possible. With every invoice, the software learns more and more, thus achieving an enormously high degree of automation, up to the so-called dark processing (fully automated release of the invoice).
Defined release processes and nevertheless flexible
Your release process is defined according to your requirements and wishes within the company. You determine the employees who check, approve and release invoices. In doing so, you can i remain flexible in that your requirements are taken into account.ncorporate additional security levels, such as a maximum amount, which then requires another authorized person for release. Define release processes and still remain flexible in that your requirements are taken into account.
Release History
After final approval, the system automatically creates a complete history of the entire process in the form of a PDF/A file. It is directly linked to the respective invoice to which the history refers. This means that it is still possible to determine exactly which processor has decided what and when at a later date. The process is thus completely logged and can therefore still be traced later.
Automated and legally compliant archiving
After the approval process, your invoice will automatically be archived in a legally secure manner according to GeBüV. You decide whether the invoice is automatically deleted according to the statutory retention requirements or whether you want to go through the process manually.
Release of the invoices to a third-party system (e.g. ERP)
All relevant process data are recorded in an XML file. Use this XML file to transfer the generated data to a third party system such as your ERP system. In the third party system, you can trigger the payment and assign the status “paid” to the invoice history from the workflow.
