How Does It Work?

Scanning and Recognition
Your accounts payable team scans all incoming invoices daily. Advanced recognition technology automatically fills in invoice fields such as supplier information, invoice numbers, and amounts. After a quick validation by an employee, the invoice is ready for coding or automatic matching.

Automatically Processing Emails
Many invoices nowadays arrive in PDF format via email. With ISPnext, you no longer have to open or print these manually. The software automatically reads mailboxes, stores attachments, and processes them directly.

Electronic Archiving
Once documents are recognized, the system automatically archives the invoices. This saves you time, space, and, in consultation with the tax authorities, you can even discard paper invoices entirely.

Coding and Matching

Coding Expense Invoices
When coding expense invoices, ISPnext uses smart templates. These templates automatically fill in default values based on the supplier. You can always overwrite these values if necessary.

Automatic Matching
AP Automation supports both 2-way and 3-way matching. The system automatically compares invoice data (such as total amount and purchase order numbers) with goods receipts. If the invoice amount matches the balance of goods receipts, the system automatically processes the invoice. In case of a mismatch, the difference must be explained, and ISPnext AP Automation offers the invoice for review by the responsible buyer. Once the buyer makes a decision in AP Automation, the administrative process in JD Edwards is fully automated.

Control and Approval

With ISPnext’s authorization matrix, you can set up a flexible approval workflow. This workflow can be based on cost centers, project numbers, or a hierarchical structure (e.g., employee/manager). The system automatically monitors approval limits for budget holders to ensure all approvals stay within set boundaries.

Insights and Reporting

Thanks to extensive reporting features, you can quickly gain insight into the status of invoices in progress. Examples of overviews include:

  • Outstanding invoices per responsible person.
  • Matching percentages.
  • Average processing times.
  • Accrual overviews for invoices that have not been approved by month-end.

These insights improve the reliability of your reporting and allow you to continuously optimize your processes.

Seamless Integration with Oracle JD Edwards ERP

ISPnext AP Automation integrates seamlessly with Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. This means:

  • Invoices can be queried directly from JD Edwards, complete with an audit trail.
  • Reliable operation, even when upgrading to new versions of JD Edwards, as long as you have a maintenance contract in place.
