Digital invoice processing
Scanning and recognizing(OCR) invoices received and having them approved by budget holders through a workflow is commonplace. But for truly straight-through processing of invoices, both invoice recognition (see e-invoicing) and invoice processing must be automated.
Automatic invoice processing
Automated invoice processing refers to an automated process of e-invoicing, validation, coding, matching for approval and archiving of invoices. An integrated and data-driven approach with accounts payable, suppliers and procurement, is necessary for this. The result:
- Much lower accounts payable costs
- Much higher degree of auditable work
- Stronger relationship with procurement and suppliers
Automation takes off with process optimization
Automation of the invoice processing process can amplify existing errors and wait times and even introduce new errors and wait times. To avoid this, processes must be optimized before they are automated.
