Accounts Payable (AP) Automation is set to revolutionise the way businesses manage their finances by automating the invoice reception, approval, and ledger entry processes. Leveraging the latest in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, AP Automation ensures that financial transactions are not only faster but also more accurate and secure.
The Challenges of Traditional Processes
Traditionally, the accounts payable process has been a manual and time-consuming task. Staff members would spend hours entering data, chasing invoice approvals, and ensuring that payments are made on time. This process is prone to human error, which can lead to discrepancies in financial records and delayed payments, affecting business relationships and credit terms with suppliers.
How AP Automation Transforms Financial Management
AP Automation in Pegasus Opera SQL SE addresses these challenges head-on by streamlining the entire accounts payable process. Here’s how it enhances operational efficiency and accuracy:
Automated Invoice Reception
As invoices arrive, OCR technology is employed to scan and convert textual content from the invoices into digital data. This process not only speeds up data entry but also significantly reduces errors associated with manual input.
Streamlined Approval Workflow
Once the invoice data is captured and entered into the system, AP Automation facilitates a streamlined and configurable approval workflow. This ensures that invoices undergo the necessary scrutiny by relevant stakeholders, adhering to internal control measures. The system can be customised to match the specific approval hierarchy of a business, ensuring that each invoice is reviewed and approved by the appropriate personnel before proceeding.
Seamless Integration with Purchase Ledger
After approval, the transaction is automatically created in the purchase ledger. This seamless integration ensures that financial records are consistently up-to-date and accurate. By automating this step, businesses can ensure a real-time view of their financial status, enhancing decision-making capabilities.
