What is Automated Invoice Processing?

Automated invoice processing uses the tools on offer from Document Management Software (DMS) to digitise and streamline the entire lifecycle of an invoice from receipt through to approval, archiving and payment.

Rather than handling paper copies or manually entering data into finance systems, your team can rely on intelligent automation to do the heavy lifting.

You might even implement the DocuWare Public Forms to start processes such as New supplier onboarding like many of our clients use.

DocuWare can be used to efficiently allocate payments for invoices, especially those with multiple payment allocations or split invoices. It allows for the use of filtered select lists, automated workflows, and integration with ERP systems to streamline the process and minimise errors. 

 

AP Automation Features

Automatic Data Capture: Invoices received by email or uploaded are scanned, with key fields such as invoice number, dates, amounts and suppliers extracted automatically using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and intelligent indexing.

Validation and Matching: Invoices are matched against purchase orders and delivery notes, reducing the need for manual checks and ensuring compliance with internal policies.

Approval Workflows: Invoices are routed automatically to the right approvers based on custom rules (e.g. department, project, value thresholds), helping prevent bottlenecks and delays.

ERP IntegrationsERP Integration: DocuWare integrates with your existing finance system like Sage, SAP, QuickBooks or industry-specific platforms so data flows directly into your core financial processes without re-keying. Read the Wernick Case Study.

Audit and Compliance: Every action is tracked and timestamped. Access permissions and digital stamps offer a clear audit trail for internal or external reviews.

Accounts Payable Solutions: Our Approach

The DocTech team are UK based experts in business process automation. We solely offer document management solutions (DMS) and the Accounts Payable Process is the start of almost all of our clients’ digitisation journeys.

A typical client for us is not based on a shared industry but rather the need to process and store high volumes of documents without compromising efficiency or compliance.

The main solution we provide (since 1996) is DocuWare. We combine the knowledge of this software with our expertise in automating Accounts Payable (AP) processes. We know the AP process is often one of the most complex and labour-intensive areas of a business.

To ensure the best result for you, our team maps out your current AP Process and gains information on your core business systems such as your Finance and ERP solutions with which DocuWare Integration is often required.

We provide a detailed plan of our proposed solution and costs before you move forward with us.

Digital AP Processes: The Results

Automated Invoice Processing  (1)

Digital Accounts Payable solutions offer a multitude of rewards. The main ROI is the reduction of data entry which saves time (and money) and reduces the risk of errors. These benefits are supported further by automated workflows and task lists and the integration with your ERP or Finance systems.

Your accounts payable requirements will be specific to your organisation. Your needs will depend on the invoice volume and complexity of your accounts payable processes. The nature of your business and the systems you use are also a big factor. These permutations can quickly lead to very technical discussions which are far better done with one of our team directly.

Automate Accounts Receivable

Getting paid on time is critical for all businesses and we're sure yours is no different. 

But what are doing to ensure your organisation receives payments quickly and accurately?

Organisations generally use a Finance or ERP type system to manage their projects, timesheets and resources.

These systems often lack the accounts receivable element, forcing finance staff to use the data from those systems to manually create invoice documents. 

Time is spent manually copying and pasting data into MS Word templates or filling in complicated spreadsheets, all of which delay getting invoices out to customers. 

AP - Accounts Receivable

The software we provide is routinely used for Accounts Payable Automation and has features to help you tackle your Accounts Receivable process.

Our 4 Step Accounts Receivable Process

You can streamline your invoicing to ensure invoices reach your customers as soon as your work is complete, without the need for manual input.

1 - Based on predefined rules, we extract the invoice data from your main business systems.

2 - Data is ingested into the DMS (usually DocuWare).

3 - The data is merged onto your personalised invoice template.

4 - DocuWare automatically stores the merged documents and triggers an email (with the invoice attached) to relevant customers.

No more manual data entry, No more delays in getting paid.

We can also send the invoice data into your finance package to generate the invoice transactions ready for when the payment arrives.

Our experienced integration team can bridge the gap between your systems, capturing incoming payment information, reconciling customer remittances, and updating the transactions in your finance package to reflect the payments you have received.

Accounts Payable Automation: Our Process

Your accounts payable requirements will be specific to your organisation. Your needs will depend on the invoice volume and complexity of your accounts payable processes. The nature of your business and the systems you use are also a big factor. These permutations can quickly lead to very technical discussions which are far better done with one of our team directly.

For example, we can tell you that DocuWare's workflow automation allows you to define rules for GL coding and invoice routing, ensuring that invoices are directed to the appropriate approver(s) and accounts. Rules can be designed to automatically assign GL codes based on vendor, invoice amount, or expense type, streamlining the allocation process. This will spark huge interest in some people and little to others who might have less technical needs. 

The conversation we have with you will be specific to your business.
