Enjoy paperless processing from Day One
Businesses of all sizes are shifting their accounts payable processes from paper-based invoicing toward electronic invoicing, or e-invoicing, solutions as part of streamlining their invoice approval workflow. In addition to cost savings, speed and security, receiving e-invoices gives AP 100% real-time visibility into the status of every invoice.
An e-invoice is not just a paperless invoice.
To understand what an e-invoice is, it’s important to understand what it’s not. An e-invoice is not a fax, email, or pdf. But you might think, these are electronic formats. True, so what is an e-invoice? It is a fully digital electronic document from the time it’s created straight through to its approval and entry into the company’s ERP or AP system. E-invoices are submitted via Electronic data interchange (EDI), XML formats, or via a file from a supplier’s billing system.
Reduce cost and time
If time is money, the amount of time your employees spend receiving, keying in and manually processing paper invoices is costing you more than you may think. When you switch to e-invoicing, the cost savings can be significant. By transitioning to AP automation and receiving e-invoices, that time can be cut by 70%. Even more impressive, e-invoicing can cut processing costs by up to 82% (Source: The State of ePayables 2018: The Future of AP is Now by Ardent Partners)
Scan-and-capture
If you are still receiving paper invoices or suppliers are sending invoices as faxes, emails or uploads, no problem. Corcentric’s Invoice Virtualization Center will scan and capture the data using double blind keying, normalize it, and send into the system. Corcentric will set up and manage mailboxes, both physical and digital so all of your invoices can be immediately centralized and converted to easy-to-manage e-invoices.
Increase accuracy
Eliminating paper and manual processes removes the risk of lost or misplaced invoices. Even more important, removing manual keying ensures data accuracy, reduces the risk of fraud, overpayments, and duplicate payments. Plus, access to important data like Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) will help you better manage your cash flow and working capital.
