Invoice Processing Solutions

Is your Accounts Payable department burdened with high volumes of invoices?

One of the top AP challenges is the time spent in manual processing, matching invoices to POs, correcting errors and dealing with exceptions.

Paper-based processes lead to payment delays and penalties, and can even damage vendor relationships.

But what if you could digitize every invoice as soon as it enters your office? The right automation solution is the answer to solving your invoice processing woes.

Automating invoice processing reduces processing time, minimizes errors, and frees up time so your staff to focus on higher-value tasks.

Data Capture: Unlock The Value of Your Business Information

Your organization receives lots of incoming content in the form of emails, invoices, bills, receipts and POs. Your AP team must organize and sort the content, make it available to downstream business processes, and ensure that the relevant content is available for users who need it—within the business system they use.

Here’s how you can leverage the power of automated invoice capture to provide an efficient and accurate invoice capture process for your AP department.

  1. First, digitize all your paper-based invoices to create a centralized digital repository. RDS offers high-volume document scanning services to convert all your paper invoices into easily manageable digital formats.

  2. Next, use automated data capture software to ingest any invoices that enter the enterprise and automatically classify and sort them using AI.

  3. Use workflow automation to streamline invoice processing, automate repeatable processes, and expedite approvals, saving your team precious time and effort.

  4. Rely on expert business process consultants from RDS to tweak your operational processes, automate workflows, and rev up your invoice processing workflows. 

At RDS, we use and recommend OpenText Intelligent Capture (formerly known as OpenText Captiva) as a future-forward solution that captures and manages every new invoice that enters your organization.

It recognizes all document types—an email, a batch of scanned images, a form or an invoice. It can also extract key information from the content—such as vendor name or invoice number, saving time for your employees.

FAQs

  • Invoice processing involves a complex cycle:

    ● The vendor sends an invoice to your AP department.

    ● Your AP team receives it and matches it against the PO and delivery note or shipping receipt.

    ● The designated approver reviews and approves the invoice.

    ● AP team pays the invoice amount via established channels such as by check, bank transfer or online payment.

    ● AP team manually reconciles and records all completed payments in the general ledger.

    If the invoice does not match the PO or is not approved, the invoice is sent back to the supplier for changes, and the whole cycle starts again.

    The time taken for the entire cycle is referred to as invoice processing time.

  • A three-way matching process protects the business from unnecessarily losing money in incorrect invoice payments.

    It involves three components that must be matched:

    1. The original purchase order, which shows the quantity of items requested and the contractually agreed-upon price.

    2. The delivery note or shipment receipt generated by the warehousing or logistics team, which shows the quantity of the items delivered by the vendor.

    3. The invoice, as supplied by the vendor, which contains the quantity supplied, the approved rate, and the total amount payable.

    All the information that these documents must be a 100% match before you validate the invoice and send it for approval.

    Manual 3-way matching is a time-consuming process and leaves room for manual errors.

  • You can leverage an automated invoice processing software solution to optimize your accounts payable team's efforts, saving time and reducing the cost of processing.
