As a CFO, Controller, or AP Manager, you may be asking yourself: “What’s the best way to get invoice data into our ERP?”

Some companies hire AP Clerks to manually enter invoice data directly into their ERP (and sometimes into a second application). This is what they spend most of their days doing. The work is mind-numbingly tedious, error-prone, and inefficient.

And, the opportunity cost is very high.

Just think, you could have these AP Clerks working on collections and getting more cash in the bank. Or quicker month-ends. Or improving vendor relationships. Or account reconciliations. Or taking on new business process improvement projects.

Or, anything other than manual data entry.

But, back to the original question: “What’s the best way to get invoice data into your financial system?”

The answer is: “How would you like it to work?”

• Would you like to have direct API integration? And have approved invoices automatically flow into your ERP?
• Or, would you prefer to receive import files (e.g., CSV, EFT, JSON, Excel, XML, etc.) on a scheduled or real-time basis that are formatted exactly the way you need them to be to simplify ERP updates?
