Process invoices efficiently with intuitive tools
The inbound processing module offers a single solution for
uploading your invoices. Embedded OCR, robotic process
automation, and a straightforward drag-and-drop user
interface provide you with a user-friendly way to manage
uploads of both single and multiple invoice documents.
You can quickly view a list of uploaded files and, using
intuitive workbench functionality within the module, manage
invoices across your accounts payable channels. Invoices
can be filtered by status, company code, or workflow.
The module enables you to streamline the processing of
both PO-based and non-PO-based invoices and prioritize
the payment of specific invoices. Native editing capabilities
and smooth navigation to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public
Edition help your finance teams work productively.
Increase transparency and stay compliant
With a single point of truth, you can increase visibility and
improve tracking across your invoice settlement process.
Improved transparency can result in cost savings through
fraud reduction and a reduced risk of duplicate payments.
