Invoicing

Best Practice #5

Digitalize your accounts payable process
  • Not all digital invoicing solutions are created equal.
  • Digital ordering, ticketing and invoicing are the cornerstone of streamlined supply chain and accounts payable processes for buyers and streamlined accounts receivable processes for sellers.
  • To scale your business, adapt to changing market conditions, and properly set your business up for future growth, it’s important you choose a solution that can grow with you.
  • Cloud-based, mobile-friendly software provides convenient, secure access anywhere, any time so company personnel can review and approve invoices securely from any device.
  • When electronic ticketing to verify scope and quantity and electronic price books to verify pricing are added to the process, operators can enable “touchless invoicing” automation for invoice auto-approval.
  • The capture of complete and clean spend data allows for detailed analysis.

4 things you need for ap automation

Extensive supplier network

The best supplier-facing solutions make the supplier's experience better, enhance their ability to run their business, ensure participation in the network and are actively cultivated, connecting buyers and suppliers that actively do business.

Optimize operations

The platform should offer a free option for suppliers to submit tickets and invoices. Larger suppliers generally have the scale and resources to implement digital solutions for transactions. But mid and small-sized suppliers are a large portion of transaction volume. The best solutions offer options to the full range of suppliers, including those without the need for large, expensive software packages.

Touchless invoicing automation

A platform with electronic ticketing to verify scope and quantity and electronic price books to verify pricing enables “touchless invoicing” with configurable auto-approvals if the data meets certain criteria. This saves a significant amount of time for AP teams by reducing the number of manual touchpoints needed to process invoices.
