Non-PO Invoice Approval
In many environments, it isn't practical to generate P.O.'s
to cover all expenditures. (services, items purchased in
the field, etc.) Traditionally, paper invoices are mailed
or faxed to the AP department and the manual process begins.
Invoices can now be sent in any electronic
format, or can be entered on the PNet Invoice Portal.
The electronic invoices can be sent in
any format. The PNet Electronic Invoice Processing modules
validates the data and maps it to the PNet format. This
gives suppliers the ability to send invoices in any format.
This flexibility drives supplier adoption.
For lower volume suppliers, invoices can
be entered through the Invoice Portal by using a previously
generated PO or invoice as a template. Of course there is
robust security.
Invoices can be routed for approval using various business
rules. In cases where no pre-determined routings exist,
the invoices can be routed in an ad-hoc manner. Routings
can be based on which spend category an invoice falls into
or based on the routing for a particular supplier. Discrepancies
can be noted, and the invoice can be sent back to the supplier
for correction if necessary.
The PNet ePayables suite can be interfaced
with any Legacy Accounts Payable system. Early Payment Discount Management allows suppliers to "opt-in" and receive early payment in return for discounts. eStatements show all payments and credits made to each supplier.
