Accounts Payable Automation

As a business leader, you are likely always looking for ways to improve your business practices and to create more efficient business processes. As your business grows, the overhead of processing supplier invoices can grow where it can become a burden to your teams. With OnePosting you have an opportunity to streamline your operations by eliminating manual tasks needed to reconcile or approve supplier invoices all while avoiding hidden costs of processing them.

Why Automate?

Achieving automated 3-way invoice matching is only possible if data can be extracted from supplier invoices with 100% accuracy. OnePosting has developed a unique technology that offers this capability.

Minimize the opportunities for fraud
Decrease errors from data entry, matching and mis-filing
Auto-reconcile purchase orders against invoices & deliveries

Scanning vs OnePosting

When scanning invoices, a large amount of key data points get lost. Once an invoice is scanned, a picture is taken of the invoice, the scanner then reads the photo and interprets the data and imported via the scanning software.

With OnePosting technology, we can deliver invoice data with 100% accuracy. We extract the data in a way that is not possible by using traditional scanning or OCR solutions. Rather than trying to find and interpret text and numbers with a photograph, which traditional scanning does, OnePosting reads the meta-data that sits underneath PDF documents, which means that unlike OCR, we don’t have to guess what the content might be, or to use other sources of data such as purchase orders to try to correct obvious errors in data extraction. This technology allows us to undertake automated 3-way matching with certainty.

Let’s take a closer look at how our automation works.

OnePosting Automation

Stage 1: Screen

Once scanned, anti-fraud measures are taken. For example: Who is the invoice from? Is it an approved supplier?

Stage 2: Store

Here, our technology detaches the invoice from the email, and saves in it a PDF format to set it up for processing.

Stage 3: Digitize

In this stage, data is extracted from the invoice including key details such as date, invoice number, etc. and ensures that the calculation is correct, that the invoice is legally compliant and that it includes a valid destination.

Stage 4: Match

Here we ensure that the pricing and quantities match

Stage 5: Confirmation

With OnePosting, you can set up unique rules for approval, allowing automated approval if the invoice is a perfect match, or otherwise send the invoice through a series of manual checks. Perhaps you want to set approvals for a specific amount of money? That can be done with OnePosting.

Stage 6: OutPut

In this final stage the invoice and data is prepared for export. Zero data extraction errors – Zero data entry – Zero filing.
