Businesses often receive thousands of invoices each day and processing them all requires time, effort, and resources. Accounts payable automation software helps organizations pay for invoices in an organized, timely manner for the precise amounts.
Given how critical invoice management is to fiscal health, why are so many businesses trusting this process to manual methods like spreadsheets or paper invoices?
Businesses with an automated accounts payable process save on paper, computing resources, and vendor fees from lost invoices and human error. Furthermore, IT staff and accountants save time when they no longer have to pull data together from fragmented sources.
With Concur Invoice, your organization can:
- Eliminate manual data entry by capturing invoices electronically
- Streamline workflows by automatically routing invoices and simplifying approvals with our mobile app
- Time vendor payments and more accurately forecast and manage cash flow
- Integrate with ERP and accounting systems for a more complete view of spending
- Generate reports and dashboards that provide more visibility across the entire AP process

By eliminating manual data entry and switching to a system to automate accounts payable, you can cut costs, save time, and cut down on errors. Concur Invoice lets you capture invoices electronically using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, uses two- and three-way matching to pair the PO to its associated invoice, then accurately records it to your AP system.

Tips for creating an invoice policy
Use the tips below to create an effective invoice policy and improve your AP process.
Keep the policy clear, concise, and to the point
The easier an invoice policy is to understand, the easier it is for your employees to follow and enforce. Cover the basics, avoid unnecessary language, and double check that it is easy to read.
Invite participation
Ensure you address the pain points that other departments face by including them in your AP policy creation. This can also help them learn about the challenges your AP team faces and help develop working solutions that meet those challenges.
Reference other policies
Consider referencing policies that may affect the management or approval of invoices, such as Document Retention, Delegation of Authority, or Segregation of Duties policies.
Maintain consistency
If people see that you’re applying an invoice policy fairly across all employees, they’re more likely to embrace it. Insist that everyone perform all required actions per the policy, regardless of their status, and keep record of all actions taken.
Emphasize the benefits
Explain the reasons for the policy so that everyone understands it and the benefits. Efficient, accurate invoice management helps everyone. Adhering to policy will help reduce risks of late financial reporting and cut down on the length of audits.
