Automatic processing of incoming invoicessample project

Invoices arriving by e-mail are read and checked against the order. Matching ones are posted to the ERP on their own, differences go to accounting for approval, and duplicates are caught.

Problem

Accounting teams download supplier invoices from e-mail, open them one by one, compare them with the order and type them into the ERP. Differences slip through and the same invoice can be posted twice.

Solution

  • Invoice attachments arriving at a mailbox are picked up and read: supplier, invoice number, amount, due date.
  • The data is checked against the matching order, and invoices already posted are caught.
  • Matching invoices are posted to the ERP without waiting for approval. When there is a difference, the accountant gets an approval card that shows it.
  • Returned invoices trigger an e-mail to the supplier with the reason. Every step is recorded.
