What Is AP Automation?

AP automation is a touch-free way to handle and process invoices, and it’s come a long way since the term was coined. Modern companies today have accounts payable teams of five or more team members, and they are poised to reap ridiculous ROIs.

In addition, AP automation handles both paper and electronic invoices despite them having a slightly different process. While paper invoices have a manual scanning part in the process, both use OCR (optical character recognition) to extract the information from the invoices. Even better, companies are beginning to offer capture software with artificial intelligence capabilities to become continually ‘smarter’ about extracting that information – like our Forms Magic product.

How AP Automation Works

Capture

This is the ingestion of the AP documents. Here we collect your information and input it into our (or your) scanning system – whether it’s scanning in directly, reading from email, importing electronic files, or even ingesting raw data from an excel file.

Classify

This is where Forms Magic does it’s work. It processes all of these documents and enters in the metadata and keywords. Forms Magic helps sort and understand your invoices using artificial intelligence, and is able to read the data on them (such as Date, Invoice Numbers, Amounts, Vendor, etc.).

Extract

Forms Magic then takes that information from the and reads it off the page and properly formats it for your accounts payable system. All of your line items data (or any data for that matter – it’s your choice) is then collected so that it’s searchable for you in the future.

Workflow

This is the first time an AP clerk will see the document. It is presented to them in a workflow, queued up with the proper tasks they need to accomplish at this specific step. Our drag-and-drop builder makes it easy to create customizable workflows that fit your organization – never forced into a cookie cutter.

Automatic Entry

Now, our ‘robots’ (RPA) will automatically enter all of the invoice data into your accounting system (QuickBooks, SAP, etc.) with over 99.99% accuracy. This eliminates yet another step of manual entry, allowing your AP Team to focus on what matters. Accurate data entry literally at a fraction of what it cost you before.

Archive

Once the invoice is completed, we store your invoices so that you have access to them in the future. They will be there for future retrievals until retention is met, and then can be automatically destroyed (at a time period of your choosing) to comply with top-tier compliance purposes. Our low storage costs further propel your team to success.
