Keeping invoice payment running smoothly allows organizations to negotiate favorable terms with vendors and suppliers. Achieving that has obvious financial implications for each company.
Running smoothly. There’s the rub.
Challenges
There’s a vendor on the phone, upset that he hasn’t received payment for services rendered. It’s not his problem that the person who should have authorized his invoice for payment is out of town.
Where are the invoices that arrived last month? Why haven’t they been sent for payment? Who’s holding up the system?
And what about the invoices that made it back to Accounting? Was the person signing off on each one is within her spending limit?
These are only two of the challenges of accounts payable and cash flow in a paper-based, manual system. And without control, how can you keep your enterprise running smoothly and maintain good relationships with vendors and suppliers?
Goals
Accounts Payable and invoice management can be error-prone and inefficient. Companies need a way to:
Avoid delayed payments because of manual approval processes
Overcome the difficulties consolidating and tracking invoices arriving in so many formats (mail, fax, email, online submission, etc.)
Stop inaccurate information and errors from creeping into your accounting systems
Reduce storage costs associated with paper invoices and forms
Locate past invoices and forms that have been archived
