Using Accounts Payable Invoice Processing

Accounts Payable Invoice Processing enables specialists to manage invoice processing cases and perform end-to-end invoice processing from ingestion through approval.

  • Invoice ingestion using the AP Invoice API
    The AP Invoice API enables bulk import of AP invoices from external systems, such as supplier billing platforms and OCR solutions, into Accounts Payable Operations using cXML, JSON, or XML.
  • Rules based engine
    The rule-based engine maps the invoice line to purchase order lines using fields such as unit price, delivered unit price, exact description, exact amount and amount round off.
  • Invoice processing overview
    Invoices are generated for payments against purchase orders and processed through automated and manual workflows, with Accounts Payable specialists managing them from creation through approval.
  • Invoice processing cases
    Learn how Accounts Payable Operations integration with Document Intelligence creates invoice processing cases automatically from email attachments and how to manage cases that require manual creation. Verify whether the invoice data is complete and accurate.
  • Invoice exceptions
    Invoice exceptions are discrepancies identified during invoice processing that must be resolved before payment, such as missing information, tax variances, or supplier issues.
  • Tolerance Rules and Variances for invoices
    Tolerance rules define the limits set on an invoice to determine the permissible amount of variance that can be applied to an invoice before the invoice total exceeds the tolerance limit.
  • Invoice approvals
    Invoice approvals in Accounts Payable Operations route invoices with no exceptions to approvers based on configured approval rules and track invoices through pending approval and approved states.
  • View invoice documents in the Source-to-Pay Workspace
    View invoice documents directly in the Source-to-Pay Workspace using Document Viewer without downloading them.
