INVOICES

INVOICESAutomatically transfer invoice information straight into your
ERP system

INVOICES is the world’s number one choice for automated data capture from invoices. The software automatically extracts information from any incoming invoice, validates it, and transfers it to an ERP system.

There are many ways for invoices to arrive: in envelopes, by fax, as email attachments, via XML or PDF. INVOICES handles them all.

All information of interest is captured automatically. Validation and verfication of the invoices can also be handled automatically since the software comes equipped with country-specific profiles regarding VAT-rates, currencies, date formats etc.

The captured information is exported from INVOICES to your target system for coding, authorization and approval by your accounts payable staff.

 

Any inputINVOICES is the first step to electronic invoice processing. The software can be seen as a funnel for all your incoming invoices, directing them into the same flow, regardless of source.

Your company processes more than 5000 invoices per year.

Technical capabilities

What types of invoices can be handled?

  • Paper
    Although IT develops rapidly, paper invoices will continue to exist for some years to come. Consequently, INVOICES digitizes your invoices and provides high quality extraction results.
  • XML variations
    Although there are numerous different XML invoice standards, INVOICES handles the input and creates a digital image for use in the subsequent process.
  • PDFs and images
    INVOICES extracts information from PDFs and all major image formats (TIFF, PNG, JPG, etc.).
  • Fax
    Fax images are automatically imported by means of a link to your company’s fax server. The subsequent process is the same as for all other digital images.

Self-learning technology

INVOICES automatically learns where to find the information of interest on the invoice and creates a knowledge base for each supplier. Consequently, the extraction of information becomes even faster and more precise with time.

Automatic sorting

Suppliers and buyers are identified and compared with data imported from your financial system. The type (general expense or purchase order) is detected, as well as whether it is an invoice or a credit note.

This information is the basis for the automatic sorting that saves a lot of time and work in the initial stages.

Built-in support for regional variations

INVOICES comes equipped with ready-to-use sets of country-specific settings, including VAT rates, date formats, currency characters, etc. Business logic, for example, to validate dates, VAT, and sums, is also part of these settings.

You can, of course, add or adapt parameters to suit your business requirements.

Automatic purchase order matching

INVOICES handles line items, which is a prerequisite for automatic purchase order matching. Thus, if you integrate INVOICES with your purchase and financial systems, you can substantially increase the value of your electronic invoice processing.

Automatic check of sums, VAT amounts and more

INVOICES can perform a number of tests automatically, for instance:

  • Does the sub-total in a line item row correspond with the number of articles and unit price?
  • Are VAT rates and amounts correct?
  • Is the due date reasonable?

If everything is correct, the invoice may be transferred without further manual interaction.

Personal inboxes ensure fast and accurate verification

Where discrepancies are found, invoices must be manually verified. INVOICES provides each operator, or group of operators, with a separate inbox that contains only those invoices that they are authorized to handle. In this way, work can be distributed to multiple operators, and the risk for unauthorized access is minimized at the same time.

Business system integration

INVOICES integrates seamlessly with most ERP systems on the market. ReadSoft has certified inhouse integrations for SAP and Oracle E-Business Suite.
