Why automate the Accounts Payable Process?
In today’s competitive marketplace and tough economic climate running your business processes efficiently is paramount to a successful organisation.
Most organisations have implemented CRM, ERP and Accounts.
75%-80% of business data, transactions and records are in an unstructured format that includes paper, email and office documents.
The AP workflow for many businesses is a manual process resulting in AP departments processing supplier invoices.
AP historically suffers from a number of issues such as:
- collating invoices from different suppliers, cost centres and in many different layouts and formats – post, paper, email, EDI
- inputting supplier invoices is labour intensive and if linked to different cost centres coupled with currency conversions can lead to data entry errors
- longer lead times due to manual routing, processing and sign off procedures involving different departments and possibly different countries
- administratively intensive due to the collation of documents in order to match invoices with POs, P.O.D’s and contracts
- inability to maximise financial benefits associated with payment schedules such as discounts for early payments or late fees for late-payments
- risk of document loss or damage as documents may have multiple input points
- no audit invoice processing and payment system to match document flow with the accounting system
- archive costs for financial compliance and audits
Stages of the AP ProcessFlows
- capturing PO’s, delivery notes
- scanning of invoices
- document matching, invoice processing
- exception handling
- approval process
- updating accounts systems
- document archive
