A typical process includes receive and read invoice, checking of invoice against vendor and PO, sending for approval if discrepancies are found, entering the invoice into the accounting system and marking purchase orders after completion.
  • AccountsFinance team receives invoice from multiple vendors.
  • Every vendor sends the invoice information in different formattemplate.
  • Human involvement leads to missed invoices to be processed, leading to unwanted financial loss.
  • Chances of human errors while processing high volume of invoices.

  • Robots can work 10 times faster than a human resource.
  • Once all validations are passed, the invoice is entered into the accounting system, the PO status is updated and the email is moved from the NPO invoices to the processed folder.
