There’s no invoice that is too complex to be paid on time

Invoice automation jump-starts the purchase-to-pay cycle. Instead of your Accounts Payable department dealing with overwhelming amounts of paper or electronic files arriving from various sources, Accounts Payable deals only with the most important thing: the information.

Here's how it works 

Invoice Processing Flow
Invoice Processing - Invoice Capture

Invoice capture

  • Paper invoices are scanned and digitized. E-invoices (XML, PDF, and EDI)
    are immediately ready for interpretation.
  • ReadSoft capture technology reads and interprets all invoice files, regardless of format.
Invoice Processing - Validation

Validation

  • Captured invoice information, including barcodes, stamps, and other supplier-specific data, is categorized.
  • Categorized information is validated against available purchase order, goods receipt,
    and master data.
  • Automated checking of sums, supplier data, dates, tax amounts, and more.
Invoice Processing - Resolution Workflow

Resolution workflow

  • Discrepancies and missing information are flagged for user verification.
  • Exceptions are routed to a workflow for resolution
    (provided by ReadSoft or a ReadSoft partner).
  • Validated invoices continue in the processing workflow.
  • Images of all invoices and their processing status are readily available throughout
    the entire process.
