Invoice Processing
Automate your invoice processing
Basware Invoice Processing is a cutting-edge electronic invoice processing solution that eliminates the need to manually process purchase invoices. This solution supports electronic workflow, revision, cost allocation and approval of invoices as well as transfer to an organization’s ERP or financial system. With its versatile reporting, this solution provides complete access and display for all invoice information, as well as a spend analysis.
The process starts by automatic matching of invoices to purchase orders, contracts or other pre-defined payment schedules. Invoices that do not match will automatically be coded and sent to the right person for review and approval. Basware multi-level workflow makes sure that the invoices are handled according to your company’s policies. Powerful business-rules management can also be used to streamline and develop the invoice handling process.
Key Features:
Contract Manufacturing
Speed up your contract matching process
Basware Contract Matching automates the processing of periodic or contract-based purchase invoices. Typically the approval workflow and coding of a recurring invoice are identical, which makes them ideal for invoice automation. The system automatically matches the invoice with the contract or payment schedule and transfers the matched invoices directly to the accounts payable system for payment. If the invoice does not match, it is automatically coded and sent to the authorized person for approval.
You can store all your organization’s contracts with relevant coding and payment schedules into the Basware database. The system supports tracking of matched invoices and automatically informs you of any expiring contracts.
Order Matching
Cut your invoice approval workflow
Basware Order Matching automatically matches invoices with approved purchase orders on a header or line-item level. The audit trail and coding are automatically copied to the invoice – no workflow is needed and the invoice can be transferred directly for payment.
Basware uses comprehensive five-way purchase order matching instead of the more traditional three-way matching. During the matching process, Basware Order matching verifies that an approved and appropriately coded purchase order exists, and then ensures that the goods receipt has been made. Five-way matching extends the process to cover the verification of quality inspection and a complete audit trail. Basware Order Matching is also easy to integrate with any ERP or purchasing system.
